1 WEEK LEFT: This Target Haunts Me Contest
Tell us about the one that got away, the flier that ruined your group, the zero that drifted, the shot you still see when you close your eyes. Winner will receive a free scope!
As I understand it the G7 BC should represent that bullet quite well. To get a more accurate calculation approaching the transonic region you will need to use a custom drag model.
Hes asking about the banded BC values like sierra publishes
The g7 is a standard, the BC value you enter is a factor that your ballistics program then applies to try and line the standard up with your actual firing solution. Youre trying to line up the curve to match. That BC value changes depending on velocity and is not a constant thus the benefit of bracketing the factor you apply to even more closely line up the curve.
Basically, the G7 model Drag Curve matches the Berger 105 gr Hybrid Drag Curve very well. That's why you really don't need to break it up into velocity bands.
If you would like to get a better prediction during the Transonic region and Sub-Sonic region a Custom Drag Curve would be desired.
