MichalS Posted March 27, 2018 Report Share Posted March 27, 2018 When looking for a 224 bullet I noticed the current 80gr SMK has an advertised BC of 0.461, while it was listed as 0.420 a while back. Does anyone have any experience of the new vs old bullet? Is it a different design or have the bullets BC been reevaluated? I read that Brian Litz measured the BC of the "old" one as .433.

blackburnbuccaneer Posted March 27, 2018 Report Share Posted March 27, 2018 I believe the basic design remains unchanged - the change in BC is a combination of the fact they are now pointed from the factory and as such have been retested and a new BC calculated as there is slightly reduced drag. The ABM ballistics app lists the old un-pointed model with a G7 BC of 0.221 as opposed to 0.235 for the newer pointed version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
