I'm in the light fast bullet group, always have been. I've seen to many times what a light fast bullet does when it impacts a critter. usually isn't pretty. BC is fine if your a long range shooter. Most people get hung up on BC because they watch to many videos and the "Big Boys" tell them they need a heavy bullet for long range. Most of them don't even shoot long range. I don't think BC really matters until you get past 3-4-500yds. Gun manufacturers are pushing the heavy for caliber bullets so they built fast twist barrels. IMO that's just stupid. As rifle chairman at my club I see a lot of "Tacti-cool" rifles. We have a steel target that's bigger that a steering wheel in a truck at 300yds. I'd venture that 6 out of 10 can't hit it on their first shot. If they do hit it they think they are snipers. But they are tacti-cool. LOL
