You need it explained?

It has to do with both size and BC. For example if you think you need a stout, heavier bullet for big animals the biggest Partition you can shoot in your .270 is 160 grains; the biggest for the .280 is 175 grains. The heaviest TTSX Barnes lists for the .270 is 130 grains; for the .280 it's 150.

For Berger bullets the highest BC you can get in .270 is .662, for the .280 it's .755.

And so on and so forth.



Sure, if a guy is chasing BC. But a 140 gr .277 NAB beats a 140 gr. 284 NAB in that department.

Both still Accubombs.


Not only BC, size and weight, like I said. Try shooting a 160 grain Accubond in a .270.

You asked, I answered. Next question?



Run the 277 140 NAB vs the 280AI 160 AB and see what all the fuss is....
