[QUOTE="BryanLitz, post: 389061, member: 7848"] Jon, Thanks for pointing out the errors in the tables, I've corrected the order of things and the new report is posted at the same location. I've tested .338's on only two occasions so far. The results of the first test are published in my book. The results of this second test that included the Berger produced a result that was 4% higher for the SMK than the first time it was tested. Normally my tests are repeatable within 1%, but that seems not to be the case this time. I know that it's harder to accurately measure the BC of a higher BC bullet than a lower BC bullet because of how little velocity is lost, and that's probably the reason for the 4% discrepancy. Honestly I don't know which result is more accurate, the original test or the latest test. The 4% error in BC causes an error in predicted drop of 5" at 1000 yards. I'll be re-testing at some point to try and figure out which result is closer to reality. -Bryan [/QUOTE]
