End of discussion.

The drop versus range, kind of a similar story, although I launched all of these bullets at the same 2,700 feet per second initial velocity just to make the comparison on the BC side fair, okay?

And you can see on the drop versus range graph that for the two high B-seed bullets, you

that drop is just about dead nuts identical.

And the flat point guy really pays the price for having, okay.

And over on the right hand side, crosswind drift.

So this is a, the drift of the bullet in feet due to a 10 mile an hour crosswind.

So 1500 feet, you know, 500 yards, that's a pretty long poke for us Eastern boys.

I don't know about guys out West, but you know, that's a,

That's a fair poke.

The two high BC bullets, the 178 and the 220 grain, they're pretty close to one another at, you know, right in the one foot, a little over one foot wind drift due to that 10 mile an hour crosswind.

But the high drag bullet, the low BC bullet,

Firearms Radio Network (All Shows)

You know, instead of a one-foot drift, you've got, you know, over five feet.

So this is a pretty graphic demonstration of why you really want to have high BC fluids if you're going to take things long, right?

Firearms Radio Network (All Shows)
Reloading Podcast 565 โ€“ Jeff from Bulletology

Okay.

Firearms Radio Network (All Shows)
Reloading Podcast 565 โ€“ Jeff from Bulletology

Okay?

Firearms Radio Network (All Shows)
Reloading Podcast 565 โ€“ Jeff from Bulletology

All right.
