Re: 50 BMG
In other words its theoretical, on paper maximum B.C. possible on planet earth with the bullet in ballistic "Zen" in a flight through air in a Teflon micro-dust..............
1.05 and .97 are pretty friggin' far apart. Amax just isn't "that" slippery.
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: 1ZNUF</div><div class="ubbcode-body">One other thought: I believe <span style="font-style: italic">actual </span> B.C. is dependent on bullet stabilization and axis of yaw; theoretical B.C. is based on mathematical calculation of profile and static flow, but what is experienced in reality depends on the smoothness of the actual flight dynamics of the projectile, i.e. yaw and precession, which are determined by barrel twist, muzzle velocity, wind vectors, altitude, air density, to name but a few. This likely accounts for the different results between published (ideal/static) and actual B.C. </div></div>
