Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Why is .264 higher BC than .277 and then why is .284 higher than .277 too?

This is what Eric Stecker wrote on another forum:

"Since we knew the 270 cal bullet were going to be used mostly by hunters we adjusted the VLD design to be more magazine fed friendly. Also, a slightly shorter secant ogive tends to shoot well with a jump so you can take your round out of the chamber and not worry about sticking the bullet in the rifling (and getting an action full of powder in the middle of your hunt). We did everything we could to keep the hunter in mind. As time passes and interest grows for a higher BC 270 cal we can make some down the road"
