But it didn't open or was erased.

Long story short, is speer's 168 BTHP G1 number correct? It seems really high. I'm about to order a new lot of bullets, and while pricing the usual suspects of sierra and Hornady, I saw the numbers on the 168 speers and was intrigued. Have they discovered some kind of space warping 168 technology? Normally I'm a 175 or 178 gr guy. But if those 168s are legit, I might give em a shot.

Could that be a g1 for the Speer and a g7 for the Sierra?

Shoot man, I'd love a .505 G7 for the sierra 168. That would be like shooting a 375 cheytac.

I guess I shouldn’t be too lazy to look at what the actual numbers are lol. Damn it.

Speer still over states BC, which is evident over the years. They also have a larger margin of error so consistency from one bullet to the next is a problem for us. Nevertheless, for hunting their shit does the charm.

On AB app, it came up as a G1 of .358.

That's for the gold dot. Different bullet.

Looks like JBM has it at G1 of .480 which seems more realistic.

But anyone have input on how they shoot?
