[QUOTE="Jud96, post: 1245455, member: 69478"] Well to deflate my excitement, I found out all of Hornady's BCs they currently list for the ELD-X and ELD-M are the values at 200 yards. I guess most bullet companies test their bullets only at 200 yards and this is the BC they list. So to prove how well their bullets compare to others as far as ballistics, Hornady changed all of their BCs to the value at 200 yards. Previously all the ELD bullets were advertised with their BC at 800 yards. I will list the chart they show on their website. I think the best thing to do is use the BCs listed in the middle column, that way if you have a 200 yard shot or a 800 yard shot you can just use the same BC without changing anything. Kind of how Bryan Litz averages the BCs at all ranges to find one that works at any distance. [url=http://www.hornady.com/BC]Ballistic Coefficient - Hornady Manufacturing, Inc[/url] [/QUOTE]
