High B.C. values are highly over-rated at normal ranges. For me the .387 B.C. of the Speer 160g Grand Slam hasn't been a hindrance in any way. Every elk I've aimed them at has gone down quickly,

A reasonable B.C. value gets it done at typical ranges.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.

A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.
