.308 - 197gr. B.C. .825 (more to follow in 308)
.338 - 322gr. B.C. 1.295
.375 - 414gr. B.C. 1.243
.375 - 450gr. B.C. 1.4+ (being tested)
.458 - 566gr. B.C. 1.085
.510 - 800gr. B.C. 1.17
.510 - 975gr. B.C. 1.55
.510 - 1033gr B.C. 1.75 (low-speed)
.510 - 1100gr B.C. 1.921(high-speed, as per Mike @ Anzio)
These are just a few of the bullets GS makes. No, they are not all up on the website yet as we are just too busy with actually making and shipping bullets, but they will be up soon. And yes, we do list 3 B.C.'s at 3 different velocities. </div></div>
LMAO...can i play too?
-Newsflash-
<span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic">Groper has invented a 375cal 390gr projectile with a BC of 1.802 </span></span> - its just that its only a "calculated" G1 BC and its only valid @ 5000fps!!!
Anthony,
There is so much wrong with the above post, its hysterical...
Do you think its responsible to quote a random "theoretical" BC for some of those bullets which are not even proven stable thru their entire flight regime?
And do you realize that G1 BC`s - whether "calculated" OR real world accurate - have absolutely zero meaning without a velocity to go with them? i see you quote the velocity for the bullets on your website, just none in the above post...
Have you ever considered getting your bullets professionally tested so that you may give the world an accurate BC rather than a hypothetical or "calculated" BC in your marketing blurbs or loading information?
I realize that inflated G1 BC`s look good and help to sell bullets, but they dont help the user AT ALL when it comes to actually using them... The end user then has to go thru all the tedious hassle of deriving their own BC which will work for them in a trajectory calculator - which i guess is also good for selling more bullets... but the end result the user obtains, is usually full of errors as most do not have the technical competence to conduct the testing that will give them a truly accurate result.
Bryan Litz is testing bullets right now, which he will publish in his next book, so that all the bullets from all the manufacturers are on a level playing field with regard to BC... are you interested in submitting a few bullets for him to test? - or would you prefer the status quo and ambiguity of quoting random BC`s with little meaning for the bullets your trying to sell?
