The point is closed up (aka tipped), not trimmed back flat (aka Meplat uniformer).

So is the new SMK 2156 BTW.

I was unsure if tipping it after uniforming brought the BC back up or not, since you shortend the OAL on the boolit.

Also if you are using the G7 scale make sure you ballistic program is calculating in G7 scale and not in G1.

G1 is the industry standard and most programs are defaulted to that.

If you dont change and run the G7 BC's you will be way off!!

Not from my experience shooting them for almost 2 years at matches.
 
Re: Actual BC of 115 Dtacs ???

That's a tough one!LOL

Use Rob's BC who wins just about every match he enters or Bryan Litz's BC who is the ballistic guru.Geez...

Uh...Now I'm really confused.

It'll be fun experiment.I'll try both and see what happens.

Thanks all!
