[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 822806, member: 1521"] This is the only part I doubt in what you've said. I am sure Bryan Litz can predict design BC, barring any issues with dynamic stability, from his laptop. Then there is the field validation, and then he's averaging BCs to velocities -for us. Some bullet makers don't even bother to quess about their BCs. In fact, some of the bullet makers out there, touted as the best, are clueless about many ballistic attributes of their bullets. And they didn't design them. Some pull any reasonable number out of their behinds(as asked for one). Some play with numbers, providing only the highest 'potential' BC, at very high MVs, and non-std atmospheric conditions(or stds that favor higher numbers). Berger uses ICAO and expected velocity ranges which is conservative, and trust me they could claim considerably higher BCs if they wanted to play games. But instead, they're setting a usable more accurate standard for us. They're leading the way here and should be rewarded for the efforts. [/QUOTE]
