[QUOTE="Brown Dog, post: 120765, member: 1622"] [ QUOTE ] In other words the faster bullet that is unstable is slowing down faster than the stable bullet during the first 100 yards. The larger frontal area of the bullet while coning creates more drag and resistance which is reducing speed quicker and lowering the B.C. [/ QUOTE ] ..well, if we're saying the faster bullet is not stable for it's entire flight, but the slower one is, we're not comparing apples with apples. (...I've also assumed that the faster bullet isn't being fired base first [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] ) ...if 2 identical jets are cruising at 500knots and then one employs afterburner for 1 km, the afterburner jet will become less efficient and have increased drag (ie it will have greater energy loss) than the non afterburner aircraft. ...it will, nevertheless, be going faster than the non afterburner aircraft. ....if at that 1km point, with the afterburner aircraft doing, say, an energy inefficient 700knots, and the non afterburner still tootling along at 500kts, both were to cut there engines and glide....the afterburner aircraft may have greater energy loss....but it will always be faster. Ditto, 2 identical cars on identical surfaces simultaneously passing a fixed point; one at 70mph and the other at 40. The 70mph car will have greater drag and be less efficient. If both cut to neutral and coast, the 70mph car will experience a greater rate of energy loss....but will coast further. [/QUOTE]
