[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 1539315, member: 13833"] I would qualify a little some of the responses by saying that, yes higher b.c. also means higher s.d. This is a long range forum, so naturally, high b.c. are normally the bullets of choice. Having said that, a 150 grain round nose .264 has the same b.c. as a 150 with a 27s ogive! I think what you are saying is that sectional density DOES matter, and in fact matters on lower b.c. bullets for some applications. I like high b.c. as much as anyone but I posted a thread several years ago called "b.c. crazy"! My point was essentially people over look better bullet choices than the highest b.c. when they very likely never shoot over 500 yards, if even that far. Infact, I suspect that's true of an awful lot of people on this forum these days. [/QUOTE]
