[QUOTE="JARHEAD1371, post: 383731, member: 12950"] [B]LTLR[/B] I'm looking at the GS website and the 168 .308 bullet is the heaviest one they have a BC listed for. The BC of the 168 is .433 at 3200fps. I don't see how adding 9 gr to a bullet will kick up the BC to over .6. Am I missing something or looking at the wrong bullet? They do have a 197 gr tactical .308 bullet that has a BC of .824 at 3300fps. That's impressive IF it can be pushed that fast accurately. They also don't recommend the tactical bullets for hunting.
