The increase in BC will definitely show up on the scores in windy or variable conditions. Understanding that atmospheric effects are a function of the differential in time of flight between no air resistance and actual air resistance; the higher the BC, the less the wind plays with the bullet.

This showed up very quickly in my scores when I changed from a .223 80gr bullet with a BC close to .500 and a .308 180gr bullet with a BC close to .600. I was able to jump from LR Sharpshooter at 1000 yards to LR Expert at 1000 yards within a few matches. I could actually see that my .308 loads were bucking the wind better than my best .223 loads.

Now the question becomes, would going to a bullet with a BC closer to .700 help me get to LR Master at 1000 yards? Will this mean I have to point every bullet because they have a huge meplat? And get a new barrel with a faster twist? So many questions. Of course, I could just ask Bryan. Maybe I will.

This entire thread is about buying a score when you get right down to it. Including the $300 pointing die.
