[QUOTE="mdk777, post: 1313843, member: 96764"] Umm...I think you are missing the point. BC changes with speed. That is a given. So what you are describing is impossible. instead of "following" a ballistic projection based on theory, Hornady has taken the approach of actually following the bullets down range. Since they have tracked the actual BC over speeds (Range) they can "Know" rather than "calculate" the BC. The published "number" is just for reference/comparison. The "actual" BC is a unique value at any exact speed. [url=http://www.hornady.com/ballistics-resource/4dof]Hornady® 4DOF™ Ballistic Calculator - Hornady Manufacturing, Inc[/url] [/QUOTE]
