[QUOTE="MAX, post: 5054, member: 184"] As a recent reader of a number of books on exterior ballistics, meaning it's still fresh in my memory, I noted that a couple of the writers said in effect, "BC's are what you have to work with, they're a reasonable starting point.", or words to that effect. They prefer the use of drag coefficients and air density/velocity components in their calculations. That info is not generally available or verifiable as I understand it, unless you have radar and such. So it's back to the BC's and thankfully, more shooting. See, there is a good reason to use them!
