[QUOTE="dfanonymous, post: 1838940, member: 97050"] No. I understand how BC’s are formed as well as the difference in monos. You said weight and we’re referencing the metallic density differences. As the accurate formula shows, it’s not actual weight the brings the BC by itself. The heavier a bullet, the longer it is...this is how they give it the weight, by making it longer, and in general this increases the form factor. If not a .308 will always have a higher bc then a 6.5mm, 100% of the time. This is not always (rarely) the case. In the case of monos, cutting Edge list the laser .308 @ 180gr a .269 g7. It’s also listed at 1.537 in length. Hornady’s 178gr eldx is picture below. I have verified a bc at 1500y in a 20 inch .308 that the true BC in my gun is .271 G7 BC. Length in picture is 1.416 inch. This bullet weight is less, is not as long, and has a higher or pretty much the same BC. The 2 gr heavier laser, makes a .121 difference in length for the extra weight. All of this for the average shooter is negligible at best. All thing being equal. [/QUOTE]
