Im shooting round balls, so i cant complain about poor bc laugh


That is what I am saying. Already poor BC, being bore sized only makes it worse. Especially with anything but the very heavy bullets, for obvious reasons.

A 300 gr. .452 in a sabot is gonna have a far better SD and BC than any bore sized bullet. And the sabot also forms a better seal and reduces fouling better.

Plus, as we all know, a lead conical surely needs no tip to expand. It is either there for looks or to maybe try to increase a horrible BC.

Either way, PB bullets do nothing as well as saboted bullets, and perform no differently than lead conicals, because that is exactly what they are....
