[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 81323, member: 10"] Eaglet, Since I am perhaps the one that is pushing the Wildcat Bullets as hard as anyone, or at least reporting on them, I will come out and say that from the numbers Dakor offers with 2859 fps muzzle velocity and a 2713 fps 100 yard velocity, I come up with a BC of .655 over the first 100 yards of flight. Everyone here including Dakor would freely admit this is vrey inaccurate to base a BC value of a bullet on the first 100 yards of bullet flight. This is especially true when dealing with a VERY long 200 gr ULD bullet design. The bullet will stabilize and fly true under its own center of gravity somewhere between 100 and 175 yards and after this point the BC value will increase significantly. But with the data provided over 100 yards, the BC that my programs tell me is in the .655 range. I will say personally that from my range testing and from this last bit of testing at 745 yards using the second mil dot down from center as a center hold at this range for dead on impacts, and with a 100 yard impact height of of just over 3", the long range BC is higher then .655 by a significant amount. I do not post BC developed from bullet drop anymore because to many take this for the pure scientific BC and flt out explode. Its kind of like ****ing in the wind!!! WIll be interested to see what Dakor offers for 300 yard velocities and then we can get a bit more accurate BC. One thing I can tell you is that these bullets buck the wind better then any bullet I have every shot at long range. Even better then the 750 gr A-Max in my 50 BMG but this is because of the velocity advantage with a similiar BC bullet. They are impressive in the wind. From what I have heard this is solely because of BC. Good Shooting!! Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
