[QUOTE="jmden, post: 550390, member: 1742"] Congrats you guys! Good hit. Berger sent me to [url=http://reloadinginternational.com/catalog/index.php]ReloadingInternational.com[/url] several weeks ago for Gen 2's. Litz velocity banded G1 data: 1,500 fps = .755 2,000 fps = .821 2,500 fps = .833 3,000 fps = .854 So, G1 with 'lower velocity limits' of: 3000fps = 0.854 2500fps = 0.8435 2000fps = 0.827 1500fps = 0.788 0 fps = 0.755 Didn't make a hill of beans difference in firing solution from using Exbal using the averaged lower velocity limit above or the .818 overall average G1 Berger puts on the box (firing solution was the same using both .818 average and the Litz G1 velocity banded data) two nights ago at 580 yds and 15 deg down angle on a small framed 4x4 Muley on the High Buck Washington State hunt. Like Broz said, probably doesn't matter too much out to 1200 yds or so which you use. I haven't played much with it yet, though. The velocity banded data might be a better starting point for longer lr shooting though. Don't have a program that accepts G7 yet, so still using G1. Very curious as to what Shawn is using for G7 (I assume G7 and not G1...?) velocity banded data...or is this not what you are doing, Shawn? [/QUOTE]
