[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 81362, member: 10"] Eaglet, Getting numbers from a computer is one thing, seeing what these things will do in the field is truely another issue. I do not know how this is possible but from using bullet drop over several different ranges to develope an estimated BC, it is DRAMATICALLY higher then the .655 BC I came up with by plugging in Dakors numbers. Dakor is very well educated in these respects and I take his data to be honest but I will say these bullets drop far less and drift in the wind far less then a bullet with a BC of .655 will, dramatically less. Most would not believe the BC value that has to be entered into a ballistic program to get the computer generated trajectory to match actual bullet flight, as such, those of us that are testing these bullets have decided to converse privately about specific numbers to save the headache of another blow up here. Our numbers work, Interetingly enough I used a lower BC then ss7mm came up with for my initial drop chart for this mornings 745 yard range test session. Had I used ss7mms BC value I suspect I would have put that first shot of the morning within 6" of the target on the first shot. Thats without every shooting the rifle past 300 yards and never past 100 yards on paper. If I posted the BC I used there would be an H-Bomb needed to end this topic thread as well. Its not worth it, those that are using the bullets know full well what they do. Those that are not using them should realize that we are reporting honestly what we find in our testing and should do the same with their rifles as I would bet they would be impressed with the results [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]!! For now though, I feel the best way to report on the Wildcat Bullets is to offer accuracy results, solid bullet drop values and leave it at that. Those are tangible things that are not up for biased opinion either way so that is what we will report on and try to keep the need for the Nuke option as low as possible. Have a good day, Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
