[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 1408808, member: 7999"] I am not comparing any particular projectiles. I am saying that if we made bullets out of gold the bc would dramatically increase. If I was able to take my 30 cal 181g Hammer Hunter and make it out of a material that increased the weight 50% to 272g and nothing in its shape changed the bc would increase from .272 g7 to .409 g7. That would be a 50% increase in bc. The % increase in weight would result in the same % increase in bc. Changes in the shape of a bullet (the form) will make fractional changes in the bc of that bullet. Physical weight of a bullet is the largest contributing factor to it's bc. Steve [/QUOTE]
