I am only here for the knowledge. My only contributions are memes, gifs and drive-by comments.

Don's math is best.
Math is hard.
If people are going to cut and paste their arguments from the web, they should state their source.

Fair amount of nit-picking. Reminds me of this, not that this is bad. Not trying to offend any one as I know that in the past I have caused butt-hurt of John Holmes proportions with something that I thought was inoffensive.



Legit question, as I am more of a grip 'em and rip 'em shooter and not up on all of the techie stuff. Hunting and gopher smackin' are more my things.
I like TTSX bullets for hunting. Factory loads are fine by me. Barnes has some offerings.

I shoot a 270win. They offer a 130gr load at 3060fps.
BC = 0.392 SD =0.242

They also offer a Creedmoor load with 120gr at 2910fps.
BC = 0.412 SD = 0.246

Looks like the Creed has an advantage with its higher BC
Could someone run the numbers for me and and then post em up. Where does the Creed take over? How far until the TTSX won't expand properly.
Some wind drift info would be nice as that is also important.

Thanks in advance.
