<br>E,
<br>
<br>I've not read Rick Jamison's article,so I wont comment on it but I don't believe Barnes is "off" on their BC's.
<br>
<br>BC is not a static number. We could have nearly identical rifles,chambered for the same cartridge and shoot the same bullet but yet,one of our rifles might well shoot much flatter than the other.
<br>
<br>Sometimes,a particular bullet/load combo will work much better than it should and sometimes,much worse.
<br>
<br>This past summer I checked some loads at 300yds with my 338 Ultra. First load was 180gr BT @ nearly 3500fps sighted in 3" high at 100yds. It landed 4" low at 300yds and the groups really opened up. This was much worse actual BC than "Book" values.
<br>
<br>Second load was 200gr BT at 3373fps sighted 2.5" high at 100yds. This load landed 1.5" high at 300yds and shot very nice groups. This was much better than "Book" values.
<br>
<br>The only way to really know what's going on at long range is to shoot paper and see for yourself. The results often surprise you,sometimes a bunch!
<br>
<br>Good shooting...
