[QUOTE="rooster721, post: 723840, member: 40654"] Computer programs cannot compensate for what the rifling does to [B]Ballistic Coefficient [/B]after cutting the jacketing.. things change, BC *one... charts and "dope" therefore *two. [U]Your downrange overall ballistics, *THREE.[/U] I don't mean to judge or start any ****ing match.. but if you have spent any time at the range shooting different distances, you would understand that just because a bullets suggested BC is say: .612 ~ it doesn't actually mean your chart using that .612 is going to be absolutely correct in terms of your drops [I](because of what happens to the jacketing AFTER the rifling does its thing, to it) [/I]and that bullet leaves the muzzle. For an example, in one rifle and one instance.. at a 2875ish velocity, the printed BC we used to come up with our chart was high. [I](again, remember the 3000fps velocity bullets BC's are based on) [/I]We had to adjust our BC [B]down[/B] to make our drops and actual field results coincide with what our chart was supposed to be. In a second instance (in 4 seperate rifles this time, in our particular case) at velocities above 3000.. (3135 in one, 3175 in another, 3675 through a third and 3450 a fourth) ALL BC's actually had to be increased on the computer program to match true "dope" and what those bullets (and their impacts) were in fact flying to on our steel. To have any true chart match a load, it must be proven in the field.. this I am talking about is the way you prove it... every long range shooter keeping any sorta "dope" will tell you that printed charts (in the beginning of true chart developement) are only starting points... Hopefully answering your question** [/QUOTE]
