High BC 308 projectiles

[Lj76]

Just looking on Noslers website at theirAccubond LR projectiles in .0308
The 168gr’s show a BC of 0.589 and 190 gr’s a BC of 0.640.

This seems a little high when comparing them to other similar rounds ie the Hornady VLD-X 178gr at BC 0.552 and the Sierra Tipped Matchking 175gr at BC 0.545.


Any thoughts guys??

In my experience Nosler published BCs are high. BC rates change with velocity. Check out Bryan Litz's/Applied Ballistics books for his TESTED BCs for all brands of long range projectiles. JBM Ballistics web site also has a library of bullets tested by Mr. Litz.
