I recently made a table summarizing the ballistic performance of different weight/bc bullets in .264 caliber. Thought I'd share, since it seems relevant to this topic. My take away is that, if you're in the realm of decent BC, there isn't enough difference in ballistic performance to justify selecting a bullet with inferior terminal ballistics. I'm not going to be shooting out to 1000 yards where the real differences begin to show up. At 500 (or even 750) or less, all the 6.5 PRC bullet options in my list perform basically equally from a trajectory standpoint.
I also included a couple 30-06 comparisons with good and poor BC as a side comparison for my father. Wow, just goes to show that if you are NOT in the realm of decent BC, then you will not have acceptable long range ballistic performance....
