[QUOTE="Romeyo, post: 328722, member: 16299"] I'm a little confused. The definition of the BC is: "[B][I]The ability of the bullet to maintain velocity, in comparison to a ‘[U]standard projectile[/U]’ " [/I][/B]according to the artcile. What I don't understand is why would the value of G1 BC's of good LR-bullets be lower than 1.0? For example, take any good long range bullet with a BC at around 0.6 and above. Would that mean it's got the ability to maintain velocity better than the G1 projectile by 60% ? So if the standard G1 bullet would be fired with 3000fps, and has lost 1000fps at a given distance, would that mean a G1-BC 0,6 bullet would have lost only 400fps at that same distance? It's just... according to the definition I thougt a BC of 1,6 would do exactly that? What if the "real" bullet is on par, or even worse at maintaining velocity than the G1 model? Or is that mathematical comparison more complex than it sounds according to the definition? [/QUOTE]
