Title: ballistic coefficiebt question
Post by: jdb on November 28, 2009, 02:22:27 PM: in reading the most current nosler reloading manual I noticed that the coefficient for the 225 grain .338 caliber partion is .454 and the accubond is .550 which all seems normal but the .358 caliber 225 grain partition is .430 while the accubond is .421? does that seem odd?

I'm sure if its not a mistake then its in the bullets construction/shape/length. The Accubond must have a big heavy chunk of lead in it making it short and stubby.
You can always post a question over at the Nosler forums.
