Yeah, that's what I calculated, too. But, since it was about 0500 when I did it, I wasn't 100% sure I figured right. Smile
Quote:The Berger 115 gr VLD bullet has a bullet of length = 1.365 inches. We can get to about 100 gr by stretching the scaled M855 to this length.
That would result in 5.6 L/D. Isn't 5.0 considered the max practical L/D?
