Ballistic Coefficient vs. Accuracy?

[Gunlaker]

To get back to your original question, I see it like this... The biggest room for error is in wind reading, assuming you know how to pull a trigger consistently and make good ammo. I'd pick a higher BC bullet if I thought the difference was enough to gain a few points over the match for an occasional misread of the wind. I mean it's not super rare to think your current windage is good for a 10 and you get a 7 due to a bad wind call. If I thought I could turn that 7 into and 8 I'd go with the higher BC bullet. But that high BC bullet would still have to be nearly as accurate as the lower BC one.

I would never pick a 2.5 moa load over a 1.5 moa load for instance. It would have to be closer than that. Mainly because every time the bullet doesn't go where you expect you wouldn't know if it's wind or lack of accuracy. That messes with your mind. Once your mind is messed then you have lost already :-)
