[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 605957, member: 13833"] Again, I am all for all the b.c. you can get providing the bullet matches the intended use. Here is an example of what I mean by ALWAYS trying to go for the highest b.c. and ESPECIALLY at intermediate ranges. Let's take the 300 WM again as an example: We'll use a 200 yard zero, a 10 mph crosswind, and the difference at 600 yards between two of the most popular bullets on this forum, the 210 Berger with a .631 G1 and the 200 Nosler AB with a .588 G1. With the 10 grain weight difference, it is fair to start the Nosler at 3000' and the Berger at 2900'. (Berger: drop in inches=61.5, Nosler 58.3)( Berger wind drift inches 17.9 Nosler 18.5) (Berger velocity 2145 Nosler 2178) (Berger energy 2146 Nosler 2106) I realize there will still be disagreement as to terminal performance of each, but if your game is brown bears and you like AB's, how can you justify the Berger with the higher b.c.?............Rich [/QUOTE]
