Sometimes the question comes up along the lines of "I point my own rounds, how does this affect my BC?" So I wanted to share this information with you guys. If you decide to point your own rounds this is the change in BC you can expect:
"Typically, for pointing, it’s 3-4% increase in BC on average. If the nose is long and pointy/VLD shape and with a large meplat, that’s where pointing has the biggest effect; up to 8% or 10%. If the meplat is tight on a short tangent nose, the increase can be as small as 1 or 2%." - Bryan Litz
