I am getting ready to start reloading 130gr Nosler Ballistic Tip bullet's for my 270 cal rifle.Here is my question?The 130gr Ballistic Tip, with it's Ballistic Coefficient of .433 and it's Sectional Density of .242...And then there is the Nosler 140gr Accubond with it's Ballistic Coefficient of .496 and it's Sectional Density of .261---And the Accubond being 10 grains heavier ,but having a lot better Ballistic Coefficient and better Sectional Density. If both bullet's are traveling at -say-2900 fps .And I am shooting out to 500 yard's ,Witch bullet would drop more and by how much.I think from what I am reading from you all .The Accubond is a better bullet.For close up work for sure.With 60% to 70% weight retention.I think I have read on Nosler's web site,that the BT take's 1600 fps to bust,and the AB take's 1800 fps to bust.The 270 is still going about 1900 fps at 500 yard's ,so that should not be a problem.I know the Accubond is heavier, but I am wondering if it will not still out fly the 130gr BT? Thank's for your help people. Semper Fi !!!!!!!
