[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 337170, member: 7999"] The way I see it, it's going to be tough to tell until you are out beyond 1500yrds. There are so many other little factors, accurate muzzle velocity probably being the biggest. Starting mv will change the bc. Barrel twist, and so on. I suppose it makes it pretty easy for the scope manufacture to be close. As long as the scope is consistently repeatable. In my world anyway. I have not reached out beyond the 1000yrd mark in any significant way. So back to the GS HV's. So far... since they changed the design of the bullet, the reported bc's have put me in the middle of the target, (give or take) out to the 1000 yrd mark. On my antelope trip they hit a little low. On my deer and elk trip they hit a little high. Two different rifles ran a little high. Temp may be the culprit here. I will say again that the old bullets did not get me there, the new ones do. So I am able to tell the difference with the equipment that I have out the relatively short distance of a 1000yrds. Steve [/QUOTE]
