Yeah, always thought that one smelled a LITTLE fishy but yes there are some bullets custom lathed and balanced that have extreme BC efficiency. Or the SOB just got lucky
(always been my assessment). I know the Canadian one was verified. Funny story about that one was they had run out of their own ammo and was using American rounds! And if memory serves me correct, most of their shooters carry Tac .50's right? Pretty sure they don't carry Barretts but the McMillan.
