This doesn't make sense to me.

Reading the balistics on the hornady site, and the 350 grain .458 round nose has a B.C. of .189 while the flat nose is .195 Shouldn't the round nose have a higher B.C.?? I thought it would due to better wind bucking ability and more aerodynamics??

the difference between the two is so negligle as to be insignificant. BC can also be affected by the smoothness of the bullet's shank as well as the shape of its tail.

both will drop past 100 yards like a sum#####

Remember that Ballistic coefficient is dynamic. It changes as a bullet moves down range and loses speed. Not all is revealed by the magic of the BC tables.
