[QUOTE="Bearwalk, post: 596178, member: 24487"] All good points. I certainly concede that if your are not shooting long range, then there is indeed little to be gained by moving away from the BC, unless of course, it is no longer the industry standard. This leads to what I am advocating, which is for the manufacturers to follow Lapua's lead and start moving to a "drag curve" standard. If a manufacturer is collecting data to provide a stepped BC, then they are almost there anyway. If they are providing a BC from shop drawings and McDrag type calculations, then they would obviously feel some pain in changing their ways. I'm certainly not saying that providing data for an entire line is going to be cheap or easy, but if the marketplace starts to demand it, the early movers are going to see a competitive advantage. I would also posit that your "laboratory" efforts have given most manufacturer's a pretty good basis to get going. I also believe that if a "drag function standard" movement did begin to gain traction, there would also be a need for a standards committee to develop a white paper on how these data should be collected and the results reported. My humble apologies to the OP, if I have strayed too far off topic. Jeff [/QUOTE]
