[QUOTE="Petey308, post: 2964234, member: 106845"] Yeah, in our conversation, that was discussed. It’s not like below 2.0 will automatically result in tumbling in flight, but it definitely makes it more susceptible, especially at longer distances and if the bullet enters transonic. You’re just taking more of a risk, but the biggest thing you’d be losing is full BC potential of the bullet. It might be stable enough to fly pretty true, but the slight oscillation it’ll have will ultimately lower BC. So I’d be curious how far down range those guys are shooting and what they’ve done to adjust for hitting their target at the POA. Typically you don’t see much need to adjust your inputted BC or MV until 600 yards or more. If they’re shooting that far or more, I’d be curious if and how much they are adjusting their BC or MV to get impacts to match up. [/QUOTE]
