[QUOTE="dakor, post: 65132, member: 2204"] I must be missing something here but if you shoot one bullet makers bullet and another bullet makers bullet under the same conditions and at the same FPS and one drops more than the other. I would say the one that dropped less has A higher bc and I dont know how anyone can agrue that? I also dont understand how you can argue when someone determines a bullets bc by how much it drops with a 100 yard zero at 500 yards. How is that any different then shooting it over a Chrony at a certain range? What people also have to understand is the Wildcat bullets that have really high bc's are heavy for the cal they are in. If a 7mm 180 Berger can have a bc almost of .700 you dont think a Wildcat bullet that is 20 grains heavier could have a bc of or close to 1.0? As for the comment about BR shooters they are sheep and will follow whatever the norm is at that time. 10 years ago you had to have a 300 Win Mag or 30-338 to win matches at 1000 yards. Now you have to have a 6.5-284 and tomorrow you will need a 6mm Dasher.
