You are correct. If you use a G7 drag function you must use a G7 BC. I'm not terribly familiar with that software, but if the results improved (as one might expect when going from G1 to G7), I would guess it might be a software bug that is simply displaying the wrong drag function's BC, while...

I use the Sinclair tool and an RCBS trimmer and it seems to work just fine. A neck turner is a neck turner, if you ask me.

I've been trying to will a 6mm XC precision mic into existence. So far no luck.

Couldn't have said it better myself. Glad to know I'm not the only one.
