But you are right I am stuborn on this. Next time I will try both out of curosity. But doubt I am going to say Brownells and NRA are wrong.


Did you see the pie chart posted earlier? All of the lines that denote the edges of the slices meet at one point. Now remove all of the slices except the blue one at 9:00 and the green one at 5:00. They still meet at one point, yet their centerlines are not collinear. Spinning each slice around it's centerline generates two cones, touching at one point, having non-collinear centerlines.


Weren't you a bit stubborn about learning that BC and not bullet weight is the deal with respect to wind drift?

I ran bullet calculator on 3 different BCs, and sa the difference. The heavy flat bullet drifter more than I thought it would. But heavier one with with similar BC, drifted less that lighter one.

If the axis are not lined up, they are not touching tip to tip, but tip, and side of tip.

Maybe one way is easier to see, I will take look next time, as I wrote a few times. But if they are line up tip to tip, and you look close with a glass that makes things look bigger, than they are lined up. I am going to use the instructions. You use what ever you like.
