Made for White by Buffalo - the PowerStar 350 grain .40 caliber bullet in a custom .45 sabot would have a very high BC though I don't know the value. I've still got a couple hundred of those left.

I doubt Chuck intentionally left out that .40/.50 Shockwave - probably had no data or simply forgot it.

I looked on Hornady's site for the .40 cal bullet, but couldn't find the BC. Is that a pistol or rifle bullet.

Chap, it's a muzzleloader bullet and it's marketed by TC. Hornady does market a200 grain .40but for .45 caliberand I'm pretty sure that would be the exact same bullet with a different color tip and of course a different sabot. They list a BC of 0.265 for that one.

I had not seen the BC for the bullet until Lee posted it.

Wow, .265, that is pretty high, will have to look into this bullet and the ballistics on it. Chap
