[QUOTE="Tex_Hunter, post: 480408, member: 31749"] Thanks for the early replies, like I said, I was more interested as to why for the .277cal bullets the Interbond has a 6% higher BC than the equivalently weighted .277cal Nosler BT but when you step to .308cal projectile it is now the Nosler BT has a 5-6% higher BC than the Interbond, even though the respective bullet construction for each type didn't fundamentally change. It just made me think (a dangerous road to go down, I know) that for one caliber Bullet A has a higher BC, but in a bigger caliber Bullet B is now the higher BC, because reason would suggest that the proportions simply grew between the .277 and .308cal projectile and thus if bullet A has the edge in the smaller caliber, it continues to have the edge against bullet B in the larger caliber as well, assuming of course you are comparing equivalent weights. Although I guess the long skinny 150gr .277 projectile could potentially lend itself to the design of the Interbond and the stubbier 180gr .308 bullet tips to the Nosler BT, or as Michael and Montana both mentioned the mfg is BSing me and I need to just get a box of both and see where Im at after some paper punching. On a side note, Montana you mentioned the 270WSM as a barrel burner, that mean its more so than the other WSM's or their long action big brothers? Or the same? [/QUOTE]
