[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 163286, member: 1521"] Yeah I'm gonna assume the whole sniper thing is pure BS.. If you look at any drag curve, you'll see that drag peaks in the transonic region. It's lower subsonic. It's lower supersonic. Picking up & letting go of that shock wave is a huge, destabilizing change. It's been identified in much out of Aberdeen that any bullet's performance in this region is unpredictable. Normally seen as a disclaimer. It simply has to be tested to know, as with most anything aerodynamic. [/QUOTE]
