[QUOTE="johnlittletree, post: 1556301, member: 105653"] This is not F-Class or Bench Rest shooting that is the sort of nonsense infecting real hunting. the BC of a hunting bullet should be the last thing you consider not the first thing. The most important factor about a bullet that no one on this sights seem to mention is penetration and expansion at the velocity you expect the cartridge to have at the distance you intend to shoot the animal at. The bigest problem with long range hunters is their ignorance to bullet construction from the stand point of producing a quick merciful kill. They spend far too much time looking at numbers that are almost meaningless to hunting. They ignore the single most important detail about a cartridge and bullet combo which is how it behaves on impact with structure on large game. I can almost guarantee that 99% of the hunters on this sight are shooting the worst possible bullets at large game because they worry to much about drop and wind drift and not enough about the construction of the bullet as it applies to on target performance. People on this sight act as if getting the bullet to the animal is the end of bullet performance and hunting but really that is just the beginning. Boat tails bad, VLD's bad, thin jackets bad, hollow points with thin jackets the worst! [/QUOTE]
