[QUOTE="Dave Tooley, post: 1662887, member: 106972"] I was using a BC of .480 for Berger's 155 hybrid and a simple ballistic calculator for a quick comparison with only the bullet changing. My goal was to show how close they were in certain performance categories. With the right design and something around 160 grs. I think the BC could crowd .500 which is more than enough to get to 1K. I shot BIB FB 187's in 1 K comp and never felt like I gave up anything to the bigger bullets. But it doesn't matter, change is on the way. I get it, less recoil(nobody trains as much as they used to or should), marginally lighter ammo. That will get better when and if hybrid cases become mainstream. It's still a hell of a lot of money to make a change but the industrial base needs some stimulation. [/QUOTE]
