Hey guys,
I was out in Wyoming doing some elk hunting last month and I took my 260 out to shoot some long range stuff that I don't get to do much back in Ohio. I was shooting rocks from 600 yards all the way out to 1700 yards in 100 yard increments. I was comparing my actual impacts at those distances with what my Knights Armament ballistic app for my iphone was telling me. It was basically on until I went past 1400 yards and my actual bullet impact seemed to drop off to 10 - 15 MOA lower than what my ballistic app said it should be. I was very confused by this. The only thing I can come up with is that the trans-sonic flight it may have encountered at around 1400 + yards disrupted the bullet.
Also I found the G1 BC to be closer to what I saw than the G7 BC. I thought it was supposed to be the other way around.
Any ideas or input on this?
