[QUOTE="barefooter56, post: 1167021, member: 85389"] olyeller, +1 on what tbrice23 said. Couple of things to add. First , be sure to enter in the altitude you will be shooting at. If you will be shooting at multiple altitudes use the lowest to figure your SG (stability factor). An SG of 1.5 or more is optimal BUT if your SG is 1.4 to 1.49 the bullet will still be stabilized but the BC will be compromised. This does not mean that the bullet will not be flying point forward at long ranges ( 600 yards +) . What it means that external factors such as wind , spin stabilization ETC will have more of an affect on the bullet than if you were using 100% of the BC. at 0-600 yards you would see little or know difference from the 100% BC.
