[QUOTE="StanleyActual, post: 2236481, member: 119220"] The actual BC is just a number given to that bullet based on how it will perform aerodynamically over distance.. now .if we’re staying within a few lhindres yards and all we’re concerned about it whether or not we can hit a 10” pie plate at 300 yards then yeah, who cares b it that’s not what we’re doing. Not only are we shootings in over extended distances,, but your trying. To kill an animal where he stands so 1. That BC is giving you an idea as to whether or not you have the righ tool for the job.s which is why you grab that 180gn ELDM with the .780 BC as opposed to that 150gn core loc 2. It’s information. It’s information that you can input into your calculator with all the other information that allows you to predict what that bullets gonna do over distance in varying conditions and then compensate for it . energy does matter. It’s why there’s limitations on your velocity and bullet weight / caliber when shootinnsomeone ls steel. Too much energy fucke **** up. On the flip side .if you don’t have enough energy to knock over that sreel ram at 300!yards, what makes you think you’re gonna be able to knock that 900 lbs elk at 1000? Your bullet (BC)’is helping you to see what your systems limitations are..Now range time , shooting steel youlre not really worried about not hitting it hard enough, so who gives a ****. Buit when you’re trying to put an animal down where he stands, yeah, the energy the bullet is imparting on that animal, coupled with the terminal performance of rhat Bullet and your shot Place has a direct affect on whether that animal drops where he stands, or runs off . so it all mattersz. you may chose to acknowledge it or not., bur that’s irrelevant.
