[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 2173689, member: 61747"] Top shooters actually use custom drag curves generally and applied ballistics is 1 of a handful of ballistic programs. 4dof, 6dof, strelock, and ab are the top of the pile for the majority of shooters. Litz assigns a bc value to the most popular and effective billets, not all. The focus is on long range target and some hunting bullets. Kestrel offers a couple different programs and one is the 4dof. Pick your poison but at this point it’s splitting hairs down to 50 fps differences and a few points on the bc scale. Both of which can be argued and debated. Heck we have forum members who claim to run 2900-3000 easily with creeds and no signs of pressure. Don’t know how they do it but that’s not the point. Point is we can debate a lot of this stuff and drive ourselves crazy. [/QUOTE]
