Bullet Maker
Absolutely. More so, run the numbers for G1 and G7 out to 1000 yards. They’re probably closer to each other than to the real trajectory. It only matters if you’re shooting very high velocities or far enough to go subsonic for a substantial part of the flight.That probably sums the situation up for most competitive shooters. As a known-distance out to 1,200 yards (but far more commonly 1,000 maximum) prone shooter allowed 'sighters', I've never felt disadvantaged by using average G7s. Using 308 Win and 223 Rem at 1,000 in the days of G1 values, unreliable chronographs, and by today's standards high-drag bullets, was a very different matter and you just hoped you'd chosen a bullet that retained its stability through trans and sub-sonic boundaries.
