rblum100,

Yeah, I've seen that report, which is why I advise buying Bryan Litz's book BALLISTIC PERFORMANCE OF RIFLE BULLETS, based on his range-testing and calculations. Have used Bryan's results a lot, which has saved me lots of ammo!

Sometimes manufacturers make the mistake of testing bullets only at 100 yards for BC, which naturally results in higher BC's than over longer distances. But I have definitely seen some "competition" in listed BC's over the decades. It reminds me of what an outfitter buddy once noted about getting a booth at a sports show, in the middle of a bunch of other elk outfitters. Somebody will ask one outfitter what his "success rate" is, and if the answer is 60%, the outfitter next to him will claim 65%!
