In this episode, Scott and Josh break down one of the most misunderstood aspects of long-range shooting — the Ballistic Coefficient (BC). 🎯
They dive into what BC actually means, why the number printed on your bullet box doesn’t always match real-world performance, and how to true your BC for YOUR rifle to get more accurate hits downrange.
Whether you’re shooting PRS, NRL, or just stretching your rifle at the range, understanding how to measure, adjust, and apply BC can be the difference between a solid hit and a frustrating miss.
👉 In this episode:
- What Ballistic Coefficient (BC) really means
- Why factory BC numbers don’t always match your setup
- How to true your BC for accuracy beyond 600 yards
- The importance of velocity, bore height, and environment data
- Real-world examples from competition and match prep
- Tips for consistent data and performance
Scott and Josh also share behind-the-scenes insights from their latest matches, the tools they use (like Garmin chronographs), and the best ways to keep your ballistic data dialed in.
