[QUOTE="goose000, post: 864135, member: 72202"] So how does this affect our ability to predict long range behavior based on short range models? Although it is clearly fairly simple to determine coefficients across a wide range of velocities by decreasing the powder charge and measure velocities at short ranges as you have done, you seem to have demonstrated that those coefficients do not apply to (or at least not perfectly match) down range velocity changes. Having not read the paper on the theory, are you able to predict the dampening of coefficients with these measurements accurately enough to improve the modeling of these bullets over a long distance, and would it be possible for the hobby level enthusiast to apply these model improvements?
