[QUOTE="Jeff In TX, post: 29040, member: 1522"] Blaine, Didn't mean to come across wrong. Over the last few years I have really gotten into understanding ballistics. One of my biggest pet peeves is all these ballistic programs that use the G1 drag model. Sorry, but they are only accurate out to 350 to 500 yards. If you're really into shooting long distance, beyond 500 yards you might as well do it right and use the right drag model. I don't care about how they try to massage the G1 drag model. Bottom line any bullet of the same weight but different design ie: spire point flat base, boat tail or VLD is not going to fly the same beyond a given range. Plugging in the proper drag model can make all the difference in the world. Designing a program with only one drag model is short sighted. Anyway, sorry if I bent your tail feathers. Have a great weekend. [/QUOTE]
