[QUOTE="gregsjt, post: 1540860, member: 88091"] So the Berger is carrying 585 ft. lbs. more energy and 300 ft./sec. more velocity and yet you don't see the difference that BC makes? Add in the wind factor that [USER=26535]@rfurman24[/USER] talks about above and I think you just made the case for why BC is important. I usually tend to agree that most people get too caught up on the trajectory (drop) numbers, who really cares if you have to adjust your turret another whopping 4 clicks. But, when you combine all the other factors that BC helps with, I don't think you can argue. SD on the other hand is meaningless if you're already looking at BC. If you are comparing bullets of the same caliber, show me a high BC bullet that doesn't have a high SD for caliber as well? [/QUOTE]
