[QUOTE="kyron, post: 1407987, member: 95130"] One thing that is easy to forget because of the needed huge elevation is that at subsonic speed the BC does not mean much. If you look at the actual coefficient of drag it drops to almost nothing as the bullet slows below about 1100 fps. The reason for this is a huge percentage of the actual drag on the bullet not from fiction, but from compressing the air in front of the bullet. That compression does not happen at subsonic speeds. There is not that much wind to correct for. Also because of the lack of drag at subsonic speed. [/QUOTE]
