[QUOTE="Punisher, post: 1061787, member: 76832"] I used shooter and strelok. I think my average was somewhere around 1400 yards. I believe the OP is getting approx 2000 yards for this value. I would give him the benefit of a doubt to 1500. I didn't see anything close to 2000 yards unless I went WAY beyond 3000 fps mc. once your bullet is in the 1300 fps range, the transition through the bubble can theoretically start affecting its flight. I think he altered his BC to give him closer results to what he saw in the field. I had this problem once, but to remedy it, I had to create 2 BC values and two loads in my program. One is for 0-1000 yards, the other is 1000 and beyond. I even have two different MV values. They are about 20 fps different, but that is something to start with. I couldn't make one curve to match my profile. I switched bullets and didn't see that anymore though. The twin profiles was for a bullet at the very capacity of my twist rate. [/QUOTE]
