Heck even the flat base Nosler Partition is a .490 BC
The 6.5mm caliber has alot of remarkably high BC bullets.
You also have the option of Woodleigh's .264 Protected Point 160 grain bullets. They have a BC of .509 and have ridiculous sectional density (SD) of .328. You need a .308 bullet of 220+ grains, a .416 bullet of 400+ grains, or a .458 bullet of 500+ grains to beat that sectional density (this type of sectional density is CXP4 criteria).

I would also like to note that it doesn't make sense to compare different caliber bullets by grain size, they should be compared by Sectional Density. I would rather be hit by a 1 pound sack of feathers than a 1 pound sack of lead!
