[QUOTE="damoncali, post: 505547, member: 33016"] That's the approach I've taken. For each bullet there is a best fit. There is no "deciding" which drag function to use - you just use the best one! The talk of "change" is, I think, directed at the bullet manufacturers, who have for decades known that G1 is not a good fit for long range match bullets, and who have gone as far as to publish a velocity-dependent G1 BC, which is just silly in modern times with all our fancy computers. We need all the bullet manufacturers to embrace the idea that they should publish, at a minimum, the BC and the drag function that fits the bullet best. In the past, they've just ignored this, saying "G1 is good enough", but over the years, the bullets we use have started to look more and more like the G7 projectile. I know change doesn't come quickly to this industry, but its time now. 600 yards isn't long range any more! [/QUOTE]
