Thanx Thor
I asked that question b`coz I`ve always been puzzled with the discrepancy on 9mm FMJ bullets`
BCs.
Examples:
Sierra 125grs FMJ----.160
Win. USA 124grs FMJ--.167
Federal 124grs FMJ---.154
Remington 124grs FMJ-.184
Hornady 124 FMJ RN---.145
Hornady 124 FMJ FP---.174

And I thought they`re all patterned after the good ol` 8 gramm Ogivalgeschoss,ja? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />

On a side note,take a look at those Hornadys How come a Flat point bullet has better BC than a round nose bullet? Comments?
