[QUOTE="eddybo, post: 475025, member: 7194"] Exbal handles multi BCs. Shooter for my droid phone, quick target and the program on my ipod all accept g7 Bcs....at least I think the program on my ipod does. I guess maybe if you get way out there the BC would drop low enough, I do not have a place to shoot further than a mile. I would guess that even at the length of my range in the back yard, 800 yards the difference between a .74 and a .9 BC should be apparent. I have had some sucess with G7 BCs, some failures. I do not find it be the end all of LR accuracy, especially since there is no way to adjust the G7 BC in shooter, that I can find. In fairness, I have really only done enough shooting with that program using the 162 a-max. I find that the further I shoot the higher on the targets my shots hit. Like I said I am sure it is my mistake somewhere. I do not care enough about the issue to even refute any argument regarding BC. My only argument is that none of the BCs are infallablle, and you have to shoot the rifles. I used to think, as I am sure many still do that all you gotta do is plug in a BC and a velocity and you are on target to infinity. Does not work that way even with the G7 BCs from my very limited experiance with them. You have to shoot these things and confirm the "educated guess" these ballistic calculators make. [/QUOTE]
