With all the attention placed on BC these days, due to "long-range hunting," many folks don't realize that there's very little difference in trajectory and wind-drift out to 400 yards between two spitzers of pretty widely differeing BCs.

A good example is the .270 and .308 Winchesters. Both are capable of just about exactly the same muzzle velocity with the same-weight bullets--and despite the higher BCs of .270 bullets of the same make/style, the difference in drop and wind-drift at 400 yards is around two inches.

Which is why I suggested earlier that unless somebody is shooting beyond "normal" ranges with the short-ogive 115 .25 Partition a lower BC won't make any practical difference.


Spot on. This whole BC trip has, well, been a trip...


Conduct is the best proof of character.
