[QUOTE="TX Badger, post: 1949803, member: 95235"] Sorry, but I do not think the math checks out here. 277 bullets with equal or higher weights to 7mm bullets will have higher bcs than the larger diameter bullet. Of course assuming similar form factors. I am sure you know this as it sounds like you've been around this game much longer than me, but some less experienced people seem to think that certain calibers have magical ballistic properties just bc they have had more development and support. In reality the larger the caliber the higher the potential bc, but that always comes at a higher weight. [/QUOTE]
