Ballistic Coefficient vs. Accuracy?

[mherth]

DT,
You’re making my hair hurt. With the bullet on the right there appears to be a very poor matchup of the patch edges. Is this of concern? I try to match the edges without any overlap or gaps, but as I grow tired I accept some of both. I wonder as I am patching how this affects accuracy. I also find patching DD bullets more frustrating than straight sided, but I’m getting better if I avoid hurrying. I’m sorry for not addressing you BC question, that is simply not something I wonder about. I have finally shot “some” 1.5 MOA with a DD bullet at 200 yards, but not consistently. 45-70. And when I went from shooting at 8” black bulls to 12” my scores improved with the same loads so far, or maybe I just had an unusually good day. I just glanced out the window and see snow coming down horizontally again…
