[QUOTE="rscott5028, post: 497552, member: 24624"] Hopefully, Bryan Litz will jump in and answer your question. I believe he's written books on the subject. In any case, it's my understanding that the G7 projectile more closely represents modern bullets and therefore more closely models the flight characteristics throughout each flight regime. Hence, one good G7 BC will more accurately represent your flight path rather than multiple G1's. As for 2300+ being the max G1 BC bracket listed for a particular bullet, I would hypothesize that you might get a slight improvement as you go up in velocity. But, with such diminishing returns as to be not practical nor worth measuring using modern cartridges and velocities. And, if you were only speculating, then it'd be easier to forecast using the G7. ...but, I'm keen to hear from the experts. -- richard [/QUOTE]
