[QUOTE="Jeff In TX, post: 151467, member: 1522"] What's the point? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] The G1 BC is a feel good BC that provides little if any useful information. The TSX is a boat tail bullet by definition and should theoretically use a G5 drag model, yet they are using a G1 drag model for their BC. In actuality if you look at the ballistic characteristics of the TSX it fits nicely and almost perfectly into the G7 VLD drag model. It doesn’t come close to fitting the G1 drag model, not by a long shot. The only reason they’re using a G1 drag model is because it yields a higher BC # than a G5 or G7 drag model. Try using a G1 drag model in a ballistic computer for long range predictions and you won’t get close. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] With the proper ballistic tools you can actually figure all this out, i.e. a chronograph and ballistic program with drag model comparisons.
