[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 703701, member: 8778"] The ballistic coefficient from Nosler Bullets for their plastic tip is .507 sd .271 [url]http://www.nosler.com/Reloading-Data/30-06-Springfield-180-Grains.aspx[/url] The Sierra 3rd manual carries their 180gr spbt @.537 above 2700 fps and above .530@1701 to 2699fps.......Page 446 of this manual. The Speer list their 180gr btsp using 3006 data page 485 manual# 14. This bullet carries a B.C. of .545..... The plastic tip from Hornady carries a B.C. of .495 on the Amax and the SST .480 these are listed on page 528 of the 8th edition for the 180gr for the 3006...... Looking at these lead tip bullets they carry a good BC which seems to be a little higher than the plastic tips........ It seems the B.C. holds true for the 165gr sptb as well as the 180gr ..........someone else wrote the book or published the information.... I have shot game at long range past 500 yards. THIS IS NOT A COMMON PRACTICE. Ethics is more than a word.... [/QUOTE]
