[QUOTE="AJ Peacock, post: 176804, member: 4885"] [b]How many angels can dance on the head of a pin?[/b] Bwait, According to Exbal, a 200gr Oryx bullet (BC around .3xx) will fly 610yds in the first second of flight and will drop 156.7" from the line of the bore in that 1 second. Changing only the bullet (to a Sierra 200gr with BC .58x) it will fly 690yds in the first second of flight and will drop 167.5" from the line of the bore in that 1 second. So, it appears that the number of inches drop is not directly and solely related to the flight time of a bullet? If you want to argue about this, please take it up with the engineers at Exbal. Or keep posting on this thread. I am going to open another thread to discuss "What is long range". If you want to discuss things like "how many angels can dance on the head of a pin, and maybe argue the size of the pin" Feel free. Have a nice day, AJ CS: I'll see you on another thread to discuss, I think you and Silvertip are right, 3/4 second might be about right. [/QUOTE]
