[QUOTE="Gerard Schultz, post: 255198, member: 51"] Hi Guys, Some information to clear the air and put things in perspective. GSC takes criticism seriously. We always have and always will. On the subject of BC. Towards the end of 2006 I became aware of the fact that some of our BC numbers were complete fiction. GSC had been concentrating on building the best possible hunting bullet, from a reliability point of view. The priorities were: A. The elimination of bullet failure due to under expansion or complete fragmentation or turning/tumbling after impact. B. Quality control - In order to deliver bullets that would be as uniform as possible. C. Consistency of terminal ballistics. With all due respect to the long range hunters here, it did not occur to us that some men would apply our hunting bullets at the ranges that seem everyday here. Simply put, BC numbers were not a priority and the generation of same was left to people who did not get the job done right. Several methods were employed to arrive at BC numbers including, it seems, sucking on a thumb. However, once I became aware of the problems the bad information was causing, I pulled all BC data from our site and started on a solution. This lead to a fair bit of research and a whole lot of changes. We learned how to optimise a bullet to increase the BC and do it much faster than previously. We developed software of our own and adapted software from other sources to better suit our purposes. The bottom line is that we now have a uniform system, based on calculation, that is far more accurate. A spin off of this search for better methods is that we have embarked on a subtle redesign of our entire range. We kept the terminal performance reliability and added tweaks to increase BC, gas handling and accuracy. Only a handful of HV bullets must still be done with the new data system and our new Tech Data pages are almost all done. We now give a lot more information as well. All important dimensions, a stability factor chart and BCs at three speeds. Currently we are concentrating on getting the data for the SP long range bullets sorted. We should be done by the end of the month. To see what an individual bullet profile page looks like, go to the HV Bullets page on our site, click on Tech Data and click on any underlined bullet number. Comments will be welcome. [/QUOTE]
