[QUOTE="Coyote_Hunter, post: 1718937, member: 110773"] Lots of reasons why copper usually has lower B.C. values but that is not always the case. Given equal weight and profile, the copper bullet will be longer, requiring a faster twist to stabilize. Grooves on monos help reduce fouling but also reduce B.C. values. Additional length for copper may not be acceptable due to standard mag length limitations. [/QUOTE]
