Ballistic Coefficient (BC): The “Ballistic Coefficient” or B.C. of a projectile (bullet) is a measure of its efficiency in flight or how well it is able to overcome air resistance. The higher the ballistic coefficient, the less velocity a bullet will lose over distance — resulting in less drop at longer ranges and more energy on target. So, for long range hunting or target shooting, the higher the B.C. the better.
++ Ballistic information for this symbol is based upon modern sporting rifle (AR platform) equipped with a 16” barrel and a 2.8” sight height.
• Indicates ballistic data generated from 20” barrel length. All other ballistic data generated from 24” barrel length.
** Intended for use in fast twist barrels (e.g., 1 in 7 to 1 in 9). Slower twist barrels may not sufficiently stabilize bullet.
# Also acceptable for use in pistols and revolvers.
