Michael, while I appreciate your response and your effort to minimize any sort of error in your work, I think you are still missing my point: if there are thousands of very experienced shooters on this forum who are shooting any number of different Berger bullets out well passed 1,000 yards and the BC's are proving to be true for each of them, how can you dispute that?
I really doubt that thousands of shooters shooting Berger bullets are being as careful as needed to validate BCs with drop and that they ALL are finding agreement with Berger's published numbers.
Here is the fallout of one well-known counter example:
Berger Bulletin » Update Regarding the .338 Hybrids
Further, I attend a lot of F-Class and other long range precision matches. Those shooting Berger bullets don't seem any less likely to need vertical adjustments during their sighting shots than those shooting other brands. If there were "thousands of very experienced shooters ... shooting any number of Berger bullets ... and the BC's are proving true for each of them" then why all the need for vertical adjustments?
