[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1323440, member: 54178"] Some of the new highly VLD monolithic bullets turned on CNC machines are showing great BC numbers and far less wind deflection so THEIS is correct on his take on aerodynamics being an important part of the answer. As well these new bullets, having very long ogives, the superior aerodynamics means they are able to be pushed faster without loss of accuracy that sometimes occurs with "lesser" bullets. So TOF is faster with these new "super bullets" therefore wind has less time to affect horizontal dispersion. BUT these bullets will not fit into even the longest standard magazines built for, say, 6.5 CM or .338 LM so they must be manually loaded. Eric B. [/QUOTE]
