RE: 30-06 vs 7mag
Scott,
Yes those BC figures are quite impressive but realize that they only apply to the Barnes line of bullets who due to thier construction are very long for caliber. No other jacketed bullet yield such numbers. I quoted you data from nosler partition bullets which are far more available both in components and factory ammo. Barnes are excellent bullets but why did you not include the BC figures for .284 bullets also for comparison? Lets compare apples to apples. And lastly I hope your particular rifle shoots these Barnes well because of 3 people I know who have tried them none were satifactory ( 1 Sako, 1 Ruger, 1 Browning ). Barnes are very hit or miss in different rifles. By the way a .284 175gr Partition has a BC of .519, and a 180 .30 cal Partition has a BC of .474.
