[QUOTE="Engineering101, post: 1166607, member: 63138"] KillerBee If only it were so. Of course nobody including Hornady knew about this problem so you can't blame them or Nosler. Hornady tested bullets from all the major vendors including their own with doppler radar and found those with Delrin tips had their BCs degrade by 6 to 15 percent. Their own 6.5mm 140 grain AMAX now has an updated G1 BC of 0.545 versus the previously published value of 0.585. The 7mm 175 grain Nosler ABLR published BC is 0.672 but it measured as 0.604 with doppler. [/QUOTE]
