Kman: Thanks for the reference material. If your results are accurate, Nosler should be ashamed for publishing such garbage. 44% overstated B.C. I recall Barnes had a similar problem until Litz called B.S.
Regarding the article, its seems that one could test Litz' barrel whip hypotheis by fitting a sporter barrel with an aluminum sleeve and repeating the test. With internal consistencies what they are in factory barrels, its hard to draw any firm conclusions about whether the diminished B.C. is due to yaw induced by an irregular bore or barrel wipe. I recall Muledeer has done some testing along this line.
Thanks again.
