[QUOTE="Capt RB, post: 1539330, member: 85987"] Most high bc bullets have static sd that are very high. He in lies the issue. Once they come in contact with game many high bc hunting bullets shed their energy and disrupt their shape changing their SD dramatically. This is seen in close range shots where they may not do the job. A mono though of high bc will have a lower bc in like shaped bullets but maintain their sd due to not drastically changing shape and losing the petals keeping the shank like a partition style. Long round nose bullets have excellent hunting properties at closer range with exceptional SD and a wide exposed lead tip for excellent expansion characteristics. The just don't fly well. They can be quite accurate though. My 760 pump gun has shot 180 round nose corelocks into single hole groups often enough to prove it isn't a lucky group. [/QUOTE]
