Hopefully 40" BC G1 1.07-9, already getting 2990 with 33" so hopefully 3050 + we will have to wait & see

Not this projectile it is the 450 Lazer but you get the idea.

When you guys run you calcs on this stuff I assume you convert to G7? I have never been able to get a G1 any where close after 800y. That said I almost always need to push the number up. The 180 Hybrid is .345 G7 but I run it at .36 to get it to calibrate from 400 to 1000y.

I need to ask more questions from those more intelligent than myself, but even G7 struggles with that sort of projectile profile at ELR as far as I'm aware ?

I know G1 fits OK out to 2100 yards

Fortunately stepping your BC for individual requirements/distances requires lots of ELR shooting !!!

I would be keen. It would be good to shoot out to 1500 ish and see what you guys are up too.
