@lowlight I posted this question/s on Berger’s FB, but I’ll post it here to so maybe it finds its way into one of the upcoming podcasts:
At the end of the podcast, Bryan started to get into the topic of when you have a known muzzle velocity. But didn’t go too much into it.
Since it’s a hot topic when it does come up, let’s say for example, you are using a magnetospeed or Labradar.
One camp will say “always use this number as it’s a known”
The other side “good starting point, but do what you have to, to make the calculator work.”
Could you guys go into more detail on which side you are on and why when it comes to:
Using a BC (g1 or g7) where you are able to manipulate the MV *and* the BC
Using a custom drag model where you only have the option of manipulating the MV
Bryan’s connection got cut off before he had time to address truing when you don’t have access to transonic ranges. Obviously we know that’s the best practice. But for example, I have ready access to about 930yds.
So, let’s say for the every man, they can find a way to get to a 1k range. All things being equal, with shooter and rifle capable of proper vertical spread needed, how would you specifically recommend truing with:
G1/g7
Custom drag models
Thanks!
