Yup, you are spot on. Hard to calculate BC at 100 yards. I suspect that is why Sierra posts different BCs for different velocities. It is prob spot on, for that velocity and distance. Seems that is why most ballistic programs feature a truing function to shore up BC in real world situations.
Not trying to disagree, I don't know how the BC could be off, Nosler does not estimate the BC, rather it is calculated in their underground range at their Bend facility. I was fortunate enough this last summer to take a tour and to witness with my own eyes. Pretty impressive stuff. They have...
I agree with guy. My hunting rifle is a Super Grade Model 70 in .270. It is beautiful and accurate! It is very very heavy!!! I think a featherweight 7x57 is about ideal although I have never hunted with one. I have one, a tang safety Ruger, it is light fast handling and accurate, although I...
I thought I remember seeing a post where David's son shot a cow elk or a young bull at like 400 yards out of his 6 mm 90 grain E tips and said it was a pass-through. And my making that up or was that true David?
Ballistic tips are my favorite bullet. Tough, accurate, easy to tune in your rifle, and the most cost effective bullet out there!
I might be outta line here, but Accubonds may be a little too tough in my opinion for deer. I watched a friend shoot a doe at 100 yards on a perfect broadside shot...
This is the exit hole out of the rear part of the ribs of a large cow elk taken with a 130 grain Nosler Ballistic Tips out of my Model 70 in 270 Win. Load was 61 grains of H4841SC and CCI BR2, Nosler brass and around 3,100 fps. Seated 0.020 off the lands. Shot was at around 195 yards. Needless...
