    After aligning themselves with the same range at which other bullet makers test or report their BC they changed the number on the box hence the link I gave you.

    The Hornady one is not capable of gathering all the complex data that some more expensive, multi-frequency radar systems with tracking heads are like Litz uses.

    Ah so Hornady use a cheap version of a Doppler, what model was that again?

    Hornady has them at:
    143 0.314
    147 0.351

    Reasonable difference in the 147.
    If you check that link at the top of the thread you would see their data correlates

    Hornady data 147 Midrange: G7 .332

    Hornady apparent use a radar capable of measuring 600yds down range. Made be the same company that is producing LabRadar but the Hornady unit is massively more powerful than the LabRadar.

    Other facts:
    Litz thinks highly of the LabRadar and sells them.
    Litz has just had a tussle with Hornady over their Hornady 4 DOF Ballistics Calculator.
    Hornady are putting great stead on their BCs verified by their radar.
    I have never believed a lot of manufacturers' high BCs (including Hornady's) and have relied on Litz to come along with real life proven data - I guess what the OP was after here.
    When will Litz do the goods on ELDs - that's a good question given his paper he wrote attacking their calculator. If he is a nasty guy he would seek to disprove the claimed BC figures. He may have already done the analysis and has not published. Something that could happen if the BCs prove to be correct. I also don't think he is a nasty type.

    I love Litzs data but he is a bit of a problem when he keeps changing his BCs on the Berger bullets, usually down....don't forget he works for Berger & they won't be loving Hornady at the moment.

    Changing the Data makes his $100 books obsolete.....

    A client was talking to him at the Shot Show this year, he clammed right up when he figured out my client knew way too much about shooting the 375 a long long way...

    Client come away a little disappointed to be fair...
