I'm trying to find a new 223 bullet and looking at Nosler Varmegeddon, Hornady z max and Midsouth shooter Varmint Nightmare. Nosler BT offers the highest BC but also higher cost 1-2 cent per bullet than the rest while the Midsouth HP offers the lowest price and BC is higher than Nosler HP. I also checked into Hornady 55gr SP w/c and its BC is higher than Midsouth SP/HP and cheaper! The z max comes in at just under the BC of the Nosler BT but also cost about 2-3 cents more.
When selecting a bullet I see guys say a HP will shoot better than a SP or FMJ and BT always shooter better than FMJ, SP, HP. Is this because of the higher BC or the manufacture or the bullet using better material?
Just trying to see what i should try next but also be cost effective. Right now the highest to lowest BC is the Nosler BT, Hornady Z max, Hornady SP w/c, Midsouth HP, Midsouth SP, Nosler HP. I guess im not getting why something with a higher BC cost less and something with a lower BC cost more in some cases. Ultimate goal here is accuracy but if i can save a buck or two even better.
