[QUOTE="BergerBoy, post: 1097119, member: 85712"] Obviously, at those distances grouping can be an issue. But if you look at Litzs' book Applied Ballistics.... ALL of his hybrids have a 7 degree boat tail. I was told by him( at SHOT) that 7-8 is best when shooting long distances and through transonic. Todd Hoddnett wrote a great article in Sniper magazine a couple years ago. He will help better explain the importance of twist rates and ELR shooting. Sorry I do not have the link. So to answer your question: I do not think it was been "solved" but certainly minimized prehaps. With a well designed bullet and twist to stabilize your round we can shoot through transonic with some accuracy. Transonic made most people nervous because until then you could put a numericle value on all your other factors affecting flight. I am just a student of this area and always learning... [/QUOTE]
