[QUOTE="jake545, post: 2744506, member: 125700"] Please show me where I said velocity had no bearing on BC! I’ll wait here for you. However velocity used to calculate BC (for comparison) is consistent, you stated around 3000fps but hornady uses 2512fps etc. Now to get a true BC to your given rifle bullet combo, yes you need to be more specific with your velocity. From Berger “Ballistic Coefficient is a measure of how well a bullet retains velocity as it flies downrange, in comparison to a standard.” Therefore a calculated BC is not tied to a cartridge but to a velocity that can be obtained in numerous cartridges.
