[QUOTE="jcc, post: 2672992, member: 26548"] I really like this test format you used. It is the same example that Litz gave in his WEZ analysis chapter from "Applied Ballistics for Long Range Shooting." High BC, Heavier, slower MV vs Lower BC, Lighter, and faster MV both shot from the same rifle. Here is a link to part of the chapter that includes the information for anyone interested. [URL unfurl="true"]https://appliedballisticsllc.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Weapon-Employment-Zone-Analysis.pdf[/URL] In the test you performed I think you showed that given high confidence in wind estimation, range estimation, rifle precision and velocity consistency, the faster projectile does not have a disadvantage out to the distances tested. This is not an unexpected result. The High BC argument comes into play when the confidence in wind call is reduced. Knowing the limitations of the system that we are deploying is really what it all comes down to. There are two questions that I ask myself. At what range and environmental conditions does my hit percentage rate drop below my personal acceptable limit? What is my expectation of terminal performance throughout the distances of my acceptable hit range percentage? Thanks for posting! [/QUOTE]
