[QUOTE="entoptics, post: 2756364, member: 104268"] I ran 24 of them past my LabRadar and used the tracking files to calculate the B.C. 7 Rem Mag, X-Caliber bbl, 1:8 5R, 26", ~2850 - 2950 fps [I][B][I]The average was 0.729 G1 for 24 recorded shots. Max = 0.773, Min = 0.684[/I][/B][/I] [U]One caveat.[/U] My rifle was causing them to blow up in flight about 1 in 10 shots, so it's plausible the B.C. values I got might be a little off, and have more variation, since the bullets were clearly unhappy in some way or another. I was pretty bummed about the detonations, as they shot EXTREMELY well when they did make it to the target. Hornady gave me a free box of 175 ELDX in compensation though, and those work really well for me too, with an ~0.700 G1 B.C. [/QUOTE]
