I have actually seen a few of the bullets and felt that they were so soft that they took extreme care in seating as to not deform the jacket.

The Nosler suggests a BC of .561 while the other suggests a BC of .625. How could the Nosler 142 be that much better than the Matrix or how could the Matrix be that much worse?
