6.5mm 123gr Scenar True B.C.?

[InkedIan]

Has anyone verified the 6.5mm 123gr Scenars B.C.? I've seen .547, .542, .527 so I don't know which to believe and is for me a deciding factor of if I'll be shooting these or 130gr bullets from my 6.5x47.

130gr berger G1 .552, G7 .282

at 2975 fps .525 always got me really close

The "B.C. Value" between the 2 bullets is so small that it is doubtful anyone would see the difference in any competition. My deciding factor would be which one was more accurate in my rifle, not the minuscule difference in B.C. numbers..

I agree somewhat. If the difference is .02 and they both shoot well then the lighter bullet is a no brainer, but if the difference is .06 then that makes it a harder choice. I'm going to be shooting PRS matches so a flatter shooting bullet offers an advantage because the distances and dope are constantly changing. So if the target distance is a little off from what's listed or your dope is slightly off for whatever reason that flatter shooting bullet will help with that slight error. On the other hand the higher B.C. bullet will be better in the wind of course. Of course if the 123gr scenar doesn't shoot well then it won't matter because it's the only 123 grainer I'm looking at.
