[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 607570, member: 1521"] I don't think bearing variance could be proven to make any difference at all. For one, your datums aren't qualified as consistent(ogive radius, base angle). And if your measuring base to nose, then base length would need to be accounted for differently. Second, unless you account for each drag component, summed to contribute to BC, you could not know if bullets match in BC regardless of individual measures. Third, without RADAR or atleast an accoustic chronograph, you cannot measure the tiny bullet engraving length affects to MV. And as far as weight, if your bullets vary in weight enough to affect anything, you are using horrible bullets. All parameters would then be suspect so rake em into a trash can. Pull out the wallet and buy the best bullets you can. [/QUOTE]
