Now on a different note, what type of bullets keep the highest BC throughout their flight? I know the poly tipped bullets seem to have higher BC's at muzzle velocity but competitive shooters seem to really favor hollow points.
The VLD types seem to typically have a higher BC across the board. They do come with their own challenges regarding seating depth and magazine feeding though. (No free lunch huh?)

Edited to Add: I think the issue with poly tipped bullets for competitive shooting is that the tips are not all that consistent. HP bullets can be made very consistent and have the meplats uniformed if that is not enough.
