[QUOTE="Engineering101, post: 965668, member: 63138"] bigcat I feel your pain. I'm running 97 grains RL-33 which got me 3,066 fps the last time I pulled the trigger but there isn't a whole lot left in the jug. If things don't get better soon, I'll be joining you in the 2,750 fps club as they do have 50 bmg at the local shop. Another reason to adjust BC. Your rifle is mangling the bullet in a way unique to your load/rifle/powder which will effect the BC of the bullet. The bullet box may give you a number for BC but that may not be what you get when it comes out the end of the barrel. Also Berger is one of the manufacturers that uses ICAO standards to establish their BCs as opposed to Std Metro conditions. Those with ballistic programs using std metro (like me) need to multiply the BC by 1.018 to correct for that difference. The same is true for Nosler and Lapua. [/QUOTE]
