Thank you. -->'''Ballistic coefficient''' ([[B.C.]]) is a [[Glossary of Firearms and Second Amendment Terms|firearms term]] related to [[ammunition]]. According to [[:Category:Gun Writers|gun writer]] Matthew Boyd, ballistic coefficient is "the [[ratio]] of a [[bullet]]'s [[sectional density]] to its [[coefficient]] of form. BC represents how efficiently the bullet flies through the air; the higher the BC number the more [[aerodynamic]] the bullet."<ref>Boyd, Matthew J., "[http://www.chuckhawks.com/firearms_terminology.htm Basic Firearms Terminology Defined]."
