[QUOTE="Jeff In TX, post: 337275, member: 1522"] Kevin, I meant no disrespect to Sierra or any other bullet manufacture. I talked to Sierra and Nosler and couple other bullet manufactures back in the late 90's about readdressing the G1 BC issue and was politely told no thanks but thanks for the suggestion. Now, I do not remember who I spoke with back then but I made the attempt explained my reasoning. You've brought up a lot of valid points about past and present theories and technologies. With that said, Sierra and the other bullet manufactures have the ability, access to new technologies to make the necessary changes shooters are and have been asking for. I understand they can't do this over night, but conveying information to the shooting community that they are in process of changes would be very helpful. However to remain in a status quo mode in my mind is somewhat turning their backs on shooting community. If I offend you or your friends you have my apologies as I meant no disrespect, I was simply stating the short comings of using the G1 drag model and why it’s not the model that should be used today. It may have worked in the past…to a degree and was as you stated what was available at the time. Nowadays there are much better and more accurate tools. Hope it helps, [/QUOTE]
