[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 170158, member: 1007"] Yes. That is what the G1, G5, G7 ect.... option is for. The program just sees youre asking it to use a specific drag model and the software does the rest. It calculates the BC decay over the life of the bullet's flight. Most ballistic software is very very accurate so long as you feed it good parameters. Once you settle on a BC for your load/rifle combo, that number stays the same for that load as a constant (even though the air density changes it, the computer corrects that automatically.) Then all you need to do is adjust the enviornmental factors and the software will correct your drops. Usually (this goes for all software) there will be some minor flaws in the trajectory tables from your real world experiances. You may find your drops are 6.5 MOA at 600 yards, 12.75 at 800 and 20.75 at 1000 yards. The software chart might calculate 6.25, 12.5, 20.75.
