I was perusing the bullet options for a .223 build and while on Sierra's website I noticed something odd. For some reason the BC over 2200fps is listed at .504 while from 1900-2200fps the BC is listed at .511.

Is that possible or is it a misprint? I was working under the impression that the faster you pushed a bullet, the higher the BC (up to a point of course).
