[QUOTE="ormandj, post: 1700295, member: 110065"] Just remember that BC isn't everything, if these are significantly more consistent (and by all accounts they are) that will tighten up groups. Also, BC is just an approximation based on a standard projectile, and doesn't always tell the full story which is why everyone is going to drag curves. BC is fine for shorter distances and with enough tuning most applications can come close at longer distances, but it does truly fall apart when you start really getting out there with profiles differing from the standards. G1 is especially bad nowadays with modern bullet design, but even G7 isnt great. Not defending atips, I haven't had a chance to load mine up and try them out, but I would caution you not to just use one BC number to make an ultimate judgement on their value. [/QUOTE]
