[QUOTE="Jeff Heeg osoh, post: 2614068, member: 111250"] Where BC shines the most. Elevation is very predictable for the most part and yes Higher BCs will gain a little more distance. But where it really shines is in wind drift, on a windy day be it on a shooting range at a event or more importantly in your favorite hunting stand, the winds will push a higher BC bullet off the target aiming point “less” the a lower BC bullet. As mentioned sometimes there a compromise where a bullet designed to open up at lower speeds on a animal trumps a super high BC bullet. But there are many good bullet options that carry both good qualities. JH [/QUOTE]
