[QUOTE="Kennibear, post: 904806, member: 51650"] Secant Ogives, if memory serves, perform better at hypersonic velocity and Tangent/ Hybrid ogives with the more pronounced curvature do better at Transonic/ subsonic velocities. The longer boat tail of the Hunter takes back some of the bearing length. Do we want to start a discussion on Hypersonic Laminar Boundary Flow? Probably not. I would guess that up close the VLD is higher and way out there the Hunter is better. And in the middle they are probably a wash. Of course to test that would require an extensive range session and some capital expenditures on components.... Honey!!! I'm headed to the range tomorrow! Be there all day........... KB [/QUOTE]
