“ballistic coefficient”

Not all magnum cartridges bear the name, but still meet all the criteria for the title. Here’s a look at five of the best.

Contributor Dennis Bradley compares the .243 Winchester and 6mm Creedmoor, in an effort to dispel a few popular myths surrounding the "inherent accuracy" of certain cartridges.

Between the 6.5 PRC and 6.8 Western, which is the better choice for the hunter? Contributor Philip Massaro examines the pros and cons of each.

The combination of the 210-grain Terminal Ascent and the 300 PRC is a big-game hunter’s dream: a big case capable of fine accuracy, mated with a fine projectile, fully capable of great performance at any range.

Remington has expanded its 360 Buckhammer loads to include a 180-grain Core-Lokt Tipped and 160-grain Core-Lokt Copper.

Equipped with an opaque green polymer tip, a sleek ogive and boattail, Remington’s new Premier CuT ammunition will give monometal terminal performance in a conformation perfect for all hunting ranges.

Federal’s new Fusion Tipped features a polymer tip that increases ballistic coefficient, flattens trajectories and boosts energy for better accuracy and extended effective range.

While much of the history of projectiles has been concerned with keeping a bullet together, Lehigh Defense’s Controlled Chaos is designed to do exactly the opposite, and it is extremely effective.

Engineered to use modern, high-BC bullets, the new 22 ARC is designed for optimum performance in the AR-15 platform, but is equally at home in a bolt-action rifle.
