Applied Ballistics depressed BCs due to SG <1.5

[V-Ref]

@DocUSMCRetired

Do solutions by the AB Mobile solver compensate for depressed BCs when the SG falls to less than 1.5?

I think you have to set the BC yourself when that happens.

I think you got aware of that to happen from Bryan Litzes Book "Modern Advancements in Long Range Shooting". In the same chapter (2: Stability and Drag - Supersonic) he describes the effects of Stability vs Drag he writes QUOTE: "Serious Ballistic Solvers (such as Applied Ballistics Mobile) apply corrections for marginal stability scenarios so that the trajectory predictions are accurate" QUOTE END
But I´m seriously interested in that answer, because I see no difference in Results comparing strelok pro to Kestrel Elite in a SG 1.2 Scenario....
I do not have the AB Mobile App, but I assume, that the Kestrel with Applied Ballistic is also considered as "serious ballistic solver".
I´ll give it another try this evening comparing the same GUN/AMMO/CONDITION Data exept the twist (1:10/1:12) within the Kestrel. If the quote above is true, there should be a difference between the curves. Because one has marinal stability and the other has decent stability....

Thanks Doc. Just so I'm clear NONE of the following AB Solvers listed below (even if using AB derived CDMs) adjust thier solution for a low Sg (<1.5) compromised projectile.

AB Mobile (Droid or iOS)
SK2400AB
Kestrel 5700 Elite

As expected after Doc´s Reply:
Exact Same Elevation for a SG1.2 vs SG1.5 Scenario from the Kestrel 5700 Elite.

Correct. We do provide the SG in different devices so you can see the stability factor. But we are putting more research in our lab in to this subject.
