BULLET DIMENSION REFERENCE
Cal (Dia): This is the bullet caliber and (diameter in inches).
OAL: Overall Length.
Boat Tail: Length of the boat tail, excluding the heal.

PERFORMANCE METRICS
SD: Sectional Density, an indicator of penetration.
G1 BC: The Ballistic Coefficient referenced to the G1 standard. Use this BC for flat base bullets.
G7 BC: The Ballistic Coefficient referenced to the G7 standard. Use this BC for boat tail bullets.
G7 Form Factor: The drag of the bullet compared to the G7 standard. Lower form factor means lower drag. Form factors close to 1.0 are average. Bullets with form factors below 1.0 will have high BCs for their weight, and will perform better at long range.
Minimum Twist: Minimum twist will enable you to shoot good groups but you may experience a compromise in ballistic coefficient (BC) performance. Use the Berger Twist Rate Calculator to determine the twist rate that works best for your bullet selection at bergerbullets.com/twist-rate-calculator/
