[QUOTE="dfanonymous, post: 2542250, member: 97050"] There’s a correlation between BC and velocity, or more technically mach. The BC changes through the life of its flight and thus a singular value on the box doesn’t cover all distances a shooter might encounter. Now, again, I’m not going ot go over the G1-G7 spectrum, but assuming a modern take on long range shooting and a desire to shoot from zero range to transonic, G7 would be the preferred model. That said, BC is still related to mach. One of those misconceptions is that people still use one of those averaged values as data, when really it’s better if not necessary to use at least 3. These three values can be split between “mid range, long range, and sub sonic.” Even better, Applied Ballistics has put a lot of work into custom curves which are better all around as they are not a model of a general designed modern bullet but actual flight data on THE actual bullet being used. I use custom curves, mostly for simplicity without the sacrifice of accuracy. [/QUOTE]
