[QUOTE="Supermag, post: 162503, member: 6408"] I'm no expert but wouldn't a projectile with a rearward center of gravity fly with the tip tending to pointed slightly upward? The spin should keep it from tumbling and at the point when the bullet peaks the weighted end would be pushed slightly farther than the lighter end, this would give the bullet a more driving effect, and a position that was more in line with the path of flight (instead of nose up) on the downward path. This is probably not correct but if it is, then this may be the problem Kirby is seeing with the changing BC at longer ranges. The BC is actually changing because the bullet is no longer nose up to the flight path, it is actually in line with the path. Do any of the experts see anything of value in my wandering train of thought. [/QUOTE]
