Heavy bullet for caliber plus reliable expansion and weight retention equals elk on the ground. If i shot a 30-06, I would try every way possible to make a 180 PT shoot. For that cartridge, the small bc advantage comes at a cost of case capacity. I’ll take the faster 180 PT over the “longer”, and slower high bc round. The minor bc advantage probably doesn’t even show itself until you get past 400 yds. I didn’t bother to calculate, but it’s probably 2” hold difference at 500 yds
True that.
