[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 131344, member: 1521"] meichele That's a good example. But have you determined that the BC loss occured near muzzle release, or downrange later? I realize it wouldn't be easy to prove without serious equipment(like radar, or atleast an Oehler43). And nobody owes any proof. But I am curious about it. If it's so easy to state as fact, then surely it can be defined. Wouldn't there be a drag curve capturing this? Maybe someone with a very high twist 22 wildcat, could check drops against another 22 with a more moderate twist. A bullet would have to be used that would work in both, and drops would need to be checked at medium as well as long distance. If this effect occurs, drops would be verified equal at medium distance. But there must be a significant departure in drops at a certain distance and beyond. [/QUOTE]
