    Bullets do have different b.cs at different speeds dont they? Sierra lists their b.cs depending on bullet speed.

    Yep your right, mainly if you use the G1 BC. If you use the G7 BC it will change less as velocity changes. Just remember that you can't use the G1 number and tick G7 for example the Hornady .284 162 a-max has a G1 BC of .625 and a G7 BC of .317 (these numbers are from memory but are close)
