[QUOTE="TiminTN, post: 541487, member: 405"] The 142 Sierra I shoot out of my 6.5/284`s has a B.C. of .595 which I consider correct. The other companies such as Berger will show very optomistic B.C. numbers. That rifle shoots really well in the breeze. The .571 is probably right on the money with the Swift bullets. My first custom rifle built in the 80`s was a 6.5/06 by looking the bullet values over in the Nosler Manual. There is something to it. I picked out a bullet, and built a rifle around it. That worked out so well, I just kept on doing just that. The 7mm 140 grain Nosler has a better B.C. than a 165 grain 30 caliber. These are what I consider ideal hunting weights for the perspective bore size. You push a 140 7mm close to 3700 fps and see how that works out for you. [/QUOTE]
