[QUOTE="mcdil, post: 2611077, member: 112571"] Those are some good points, gents, and it gave me an idea. Right now, for our BCs, when we have the internal ability to test them, we list the velocity band the bullet's G7 was calculated in. I will update that to include the twist rate of the rifle used. That's about as much transparency as we can possibly provide for our BC numbers. That will do two things. For the average hunter that doesn't focus on long range, but would like good performance at the extended ranges for their off-the-shelf mountain rifle platform with a standard Duplex 3x9, the number should provide an accurate assessment for those ranges. Conversely, for the true long range shooters that understand how BC, even when calculated to the G7, can change at differing velocity bands and be influenced by twist rate, at least know where our number came from and can adjust and verify accordingly. A task for this weekend! [/QUOTE]
