Why don't you go back to JBM ballistics and use the (Litz) data?

That will explain why so many shooters still choose 175 SMKs and heavier VLDs for long range loads.

One of the ways bullet manufacturers sell bullets is by publishing G1 data. G1 data is really useful in comparing flat based spitzer bullets. G7 data is much more useful comparing hollowpoint boat tail bullets. Use the (Litz) data for the Sierra 155 Palma 0.214 G7 and 175 Match King 0.243 G7.

Things make more sense that way.
