From Hornady's website, they list their different perspective on BC for their ELD line of bullets. So here's my question, if I'm using a ballistics calculator like Ballistics AE, do I set up three different "favorites" for the bullet depending on what distance I'm shooting?
6.5mm 143 gr. ELD-X
MACH 2.25
--0.623 G1
--0.314 G7
MACH 2.0
--0.604 G1
--0.303 G7
MACH 1.75
--0.584 G1
--0.294 G7
- Mach 2.25 (2512 fps* and above) - Velocities above 2,500 fps and distances out to 300 yards.
- Mach 2.0 (2232 fps*) - Use this for mid-range shooting where the bullet spends time in flight after slowing down.
- Mach 1.75 (1953 fps*) - Use this for long-range shooting where much of the bullet flight occurs after velocity loss.
