[QUOTE="BallisticsGuy, post: 1398006, member: 96226"] garbage in, garbage out. I publish my own and it's always right but I know exactly what I'm doing using it and the others I have copies of. They're all doing the same thing with the same math but a lot of dynamic things happen after the bullet leaves that you really can't effectively model and some stuff just isn't worth the effort so there's a little slop possible. In general if your numbers are right, it should be right. Be aware that G1 BC's are variable and change with velocity so the range of intended use distance and velocities matter. A varmint bullet isn't going to have an advertised BC meant for 1000yrd work and a VLD isn't usually going to have an advertised G1 BC for 300yrd work. [/QUOTE]
