Bullets in flight are subject to nature’s forces. Through the decades, manufacturers have developed bullets to somewhat counteract the effects of wind, gravity and atmospheric drag with a streamlined shape incorporating a boattail and long ogive terminating in a sharp point. As bullets fly through the air, though, their drag coefficients can vary substantially, to the extent that their trajectories are significantly altered at long distance. At 500 yards and closer, the difference in drag doesn’t affect trajectory much because the bullet’s drag is a cumulative effect that is more apparent over longer distances. Following extensive testing, Hornady engineers and…
