[QUOTE="ajhardle, post: 665850, member: 49861"] thanks for the great info. Louboyd, you briefly touched on what's boggling me. You said it depends on " the drag funcion of of the velocity range of each shot." Well let's look at the drag function. Faster means more drag because the the bullet covers more distance ina given amount of time( because more particals of air are encountered). correct? But the [B]drag coefficient is lower[/B] based on the drag curve. So if we shoot the same bullet at different velocities, [B]higher velocity has a lower coefficient of drag? Am i off beat on this one?[/B] [/QUOTE]
