[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 384350, member: 11717"] Yes you do see cleary. I went back and read the thread again a little more slowly. Those guys really don't understand physics and ballistices very well at all. They dont even mention the term BC and misunderstand the relationships and meanings of velocity, energy, mass, inertia, etc. With many, if not most bullets, BC actually increases (increased resistance to drag) with velocity. For example these GS bullets... The GS HV .308 177, .638 @ 3300 fps, .603 @ 2450 fps and .589 @ 1600 fps. [url=http://www.gsgroup.co.za/308177HV198.html]GS CUSTOM BULLETS - Specifications for use[/url] The GS SP .338 295, 1.010 @ 2850 fps, .973 @ 2025 fps and .760 @ 1200 fps. [url=http://www.gsgroup.co.za/338295SP142.html]GS CUSTOM BULLETS - Specifications for use[/url] You will also see this with the SMK's. The ballistic calculators don't lie. The greater the velocity of a bullet, the faster it will get to point A and point B and point C and so on... and it will go farther, and it will buck wind better, etc., etc. [/QUOTE]
