[QUOTE="mechengr, post: 1203428, member: 75894"] If I understand it correctly, I would argue that a properly chosen drag function applied to a bullet with a best-case scenario of form factor i=1.00 should yield a BC that will be completely independent of velocity. That's the appeal of using the G7 BCs with today's highly efficient bullets. I believe you are correct though in that drag is ALWAYS a function of velocity. You've hit the nail on the head here, exactly why I'm trying to derive the G7 BC of this bullet. And more so, I hope to be able to confidently apply this technique to future new bullets I may come across that have not yet been tested by Bryan [/QUOTE]
