Using unconverted English units in a metric equation � for a parallel example � gives utterly useless final figures.

Groups get bigger the farther away the target is,* so theoretically predicting a trajectory is an approximation anyway � precisely predicting a single trajectory is impossible. Only an approximation of an presumably "typical" trajectory is possible � within certain fairly loose limits.

The way people calculate BC has a component part of velocity. If the velocity is changing from point blank to any distance away from the muzzle, then that has to mean a change in the BC is calculated.

Why does it take a Doctor to get you to understand that? Once again it takes Ken to come on and explain that to us?

Using a radar range to give accurate real world BC and trajectory is the only way I know to cut through the BS of BC.
