I've taken several nice bucks past 100 yards with a 25-45 Sharps loaded with the Hornady 117 gr RN. My largest buck was a 200 lb. 11 pointer (eastern count) at a tad over 100 yards. Drilled the shoulders and DRT.
What is this BC you fellows are discussing?
BC stands for ballistic co-efficient. It really means how efficient a bullet's shape is when it travels through air to reach its target. A higher bc bullet experiences less air resistance and drifts less in the wind , retains more of its velocity (which is another word for speed) and shoots flatter. And one more thing I should add for those .257 owners who don't think bc is important, if you shoot a deer with a high bc bullet past 200 yards, the deer doesn't fall off the edge of the earth.
