[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1082420, member: 4191"] I was curious about the improvement in BC value on the tipped bullets versus the un-tipped Match Kings. The BC values versus velocity ranges provided aren't identical. Still, it looks like a decent gain in BC value. I believe the Tipped Match King BC values will be more consistent from bullet to bullet, and that the Tipped Match Kings will expand more reliably on game than the non-tipped Match Kings. Here's the BC information I collected from Sierra's website for two of the .308 bullets. And here's the Sierra website link to the source of this information: [url=http://www.sierrabullets.com/resources/ballistic-coefficients/]Ballistic Coefficients - Sierra Bullets - The Bulletsmiths[/url] Simply select the caliber bullet you're interested in researching into the drop box provided at their website. [U].308 dia. 175 gr. HPBT MatchKing[/U] .505 @ 2800 fps and above .496 between 2800 and 1800 fps .485 @ 1800 fps and below [U]308 dia. 175 gr.
