Ive been thinking...... bullet bc

[Schw15]

Shooting at longer distances I get caught up in all the ballistics and bc numbers but does it really matter. I shoot from 100 yard to 1800 and sometimes 2k. So not extreme but still decent to me. Do we all get wrapped up in the higher bc game? Or is it just me? For example berger 230 g7 .368 or so hornady a-tip g7 .414 a lot of people claim g7 .425 huge difference and numbers.

Seems like hornady has the biggest bc numbers with eldm and even better a-tip.
Bergers are lower than most but more consistent
Sierra is a sleeper I think great bc and consistent.

Do we all chase bc?

BC consistency and accuracy at max range over chasing the highest BC for me. Berger over Hornady for me!

Most of the highest BC bullets don't always transition well.

AND stop doing load development at 100 yards

I do a start up at 100 yards to find a few charges and seating depths then do my final load testing at distance. Usually test at 800ish then take it to 1 mile.

When the wind really kicks up, accuracy being equal, that’s when you’re really going to notice the higher bc.

I always gravitate to high BC bullets.

B.c. Rules. but that is considering stable accurate flight. Some think high bc translates to poor transition. only poor designed bullets suffer from those issues.

My reference was to a certain high BC solid that is know to not transition well.
