[QUOTE="Ridgerunner665, post: 1090815, member: 12660"] I don't think ANY modern spitzer type bullet fits the G1 profile...it looks like an artillery shell...no modern bullets look like that, with the short pointed nose. G5 appears to be the best fit for most non VLD type hunting bullets...G7 fits VLD type bullets best... Put simply, G1 is quite a ways behind the times... With that said, I doubt you'll see G5 BC's printed on bullet boxes anytime soon. I don't mean to cloud the issue any more than it already is, but the best bet for putting rounds on target at 700 yards...is to work your way out there from say 300 yards, taking notes along the way. In other words...work out your own true BC numbers...use G7 drag functions for VLD type bullets, but I'm not sure G7 fits bullets like the Nosler Accubond or Swift Scirroco any better than G1...those bullet shapes are sorta in between...and that is G5.
