[QUOTE="THEIS, post: 1423429, member: 99239"] Hi, I think we are going to see the pendulum start to swing back to "lighter is faster and speed is king" situation BUT unlike the past...we are not going to slow the twist rate up when doing so. The PRS guys are already doing this by dropping from their 6.5s to the 6s to get more speed with the lighter projectiles even though the 6.5s have a better "BC". I think we are at a point in the cycle that "pure" BC projectiles are not cutting it anymore..to make a leap advancement instead of minute step advancements we are going to have to change the ENTIRE system at once, not just a single component of the system. Here is another great article from the Defense Technology Agency, Ballistics Division in Thun Switzerland. Sincerely, THEIS [/QUOTE]
