Mike at TechPB has tests that show that less wind resistance allows it to keep distance and range OVER .68? Or just in general?
Where are these tests that Mike has done? I haven't been informed of any.
When we ran a wind test program we got this:

I'd like to know where I went wrong with my math...
It's nice to finally see someone say 1.2 grams, with our 1.21 gram test paint. So maybe this will also put to rest the "final fill"?
A thinner shell would make it better, but you can only get so thin before it breaks in the breach of the gun. I'd be interested to test a thinner shell than .010
