Gotta break it up!

Swede, That is a good question, because if you do find a bullet with a BC higher than 1 then that bullet is now 1 and everything else has to be changed to match... but look at hornady's 750 A-max the BC on that bullet is 1.050 go figure

Swedesteve and 338rum, you are both wrong, a BC of >1 is possible. A BC of 1 just means that you are equal to the standard used, above 1 you are more aerodynamic than the standard. There is no "perfect", just good and better. As for the the choice in firearms I would go with the 50BMG, you can get CNC turned bullets that are far better then the Chey-tac 408.

Personally, if money was no object & I didn't live in the Peoples Republic of Kalifornistan I'd go for the 50 BMG simply because I'd have a quad 50 too & the ammo would be interchangable lol.

sorry, I tried, I want all 3. no, actually, I would have to have all 3. just for valid testing purposes ya know. after all, how else can I make a good decision without firing at least a 1,000 rounds thru each? or better yet, let me shoot em till the barrels are completely gone.......

then bring me new barrels and lots more ammo, then I'll tell you which ones I'd be willing to part with....maybe.....
