Why do companies make a 52gr and a 53gr bullet? Is there really enough differance to make both?
Funny. I have one AR that loves the 52s and won't shoot the 53s for anything and another AR that is the exact opposite. Crazy that one grain (and the shape of the base) can make such a difference.
That may be true for shorter distances but I've found the BT bullet performs better at longer distances. (especially from a bolt action .223 rifle)I have found for me, the flat base 53 grain is more accurate.Byron

I'm glad you noticed I said longer distances, not long distance. I usually change over to a BT bullet if the Chucks are going to be 400 meters or more out. I highly doubt you will see any difference at closer ranges. Even 400 meters might be too close to see a difference but you have to draw the line somewhere...What is considered a "longer" distance?
