[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 577103, member: 2011"] I noticed that Shooter and a few other ballistic apps show "litz" when using Brian's BC numbers instead of showing the actual BC. Is there a reason for this? Not a big deal but I guess I have more of a comfort level being able to see the actual BC number there so I know it is calculating correctly. It is my understanding that "litz" IS the actual bc as field developed by Brian. I would feel less comfortable using the factory values. In fact, I always determine bullet bc from shooting at my home range. This empirical value has never been identical to manufacturer published values. Close at times but never identical. Whether MV or bc is adjusted makes no difference when it comes time to break the trigger. I am more comfortable adjusting bc as I am a bit hung up, possibly incorrectly, on chrono values. Either method of adjusting is ok, but chrono values are an observable number, even if it is not exact. I'm fairly ceratin that MV is not off by values indicated by trajectory adjustment methods in software I've used. Much greater than 100 FPS at times. Nevertheless I still hit the POA at 1200 and all shorter ranges. [/QUOTE]
