I do not know where you are getting your numbers from,but if you are using the B.C. from PR Bullet,beware. Their numbers are inflated. The Nosler is a proven game stopper for many years. The Dead center is a good bullet (all lead),but IMO not as proven as Nosler.

The BC I came to for the PR was derived fromshooting over a chronograph at the muzzle and again at 100 yds. I came up with a .279 BC (and used in the Point Blank Ballistic Calculator) compared to PR's published .376, so I trust the (my)numbers. I also come up with a BC of .199 for the Nosler Partition HG but am unsure of what their published BC is.

Manufacturer numbers and individual numbers are bound to vary due to different conditions, ie temp, elevation, types of firearms used, primers, publishing hype, etc etc.

PR's numbers are in FPE: 2190@50 yd, 1971@100yd, 1775@150yd and 1598@200yds
