    “Speer is also famous for publishing completely fake BCs.”

    Can’t see what you’re on about. .308. 180gr btsp. Speer & StrelokPro list bc @ .540. AB list bc @ .545. Various other sources list @ .540. You know something that others don’t ? In the past I’ve used them out to 900 yds on nra range and they’ve gone alright, used them in anger and they perform as expected. Personally don’t see the need for 180 over 150 for NZ hunting in most cases, certainly not for bush hunting. But OP has them on hand so may as well use them.
