Fred and Jim,
I'm trying to learn something here. I've racked my brain to try to discern the meaning of your statement"BC per se has no effect on accuracy". I have a Remington X-P 100 pistol that I tried many bullet makers and bullet configurations with to get it to shoot straight. I started out shoot Sierra 52 grain hollow point boat tails, a match bullet. I got horrible results, bullets hitting the target sideways. Then I worked down with different bullet brands,powders,and weights configurations. I was ready to throw in the towel, my last resort was a 40 grain Hornady varmint bullet and every shot starting hitting hole on hole. I know the 52 grain Sierra Matchking has a better BC than the 40 grain Hornady. Is this what you mean by "BC per se has no effect on accuracy"?. ifldned
