GA vs G1
- Thread starter stormy
- Start date
If i recall correctly, GA is specifically for diabolo shaped pellets. G1 is more for slugs.
Pellets have a much lower BC than slugs so they drop much faster. Slugs are more aerodynamic so they have a much higher BC.
Hopefully this helps.

The scientific reasons behind that I'll leave to other to explain.... 
G1 is the drag model that was developed for artillery size projectiles with a bullet shape. A bit far off from what our pellets are.
GA is the drag model that has been developed for airgun pellets. Bob Sterne over at GTA says it's not quite accurate and he'll use his retirement and a Labradar to give us a better drag model, but until 2022 comes around, GA is pretty good for most shots.
It can be tweaked in Strelok Pro by entering up to 5 different BC values for different velocities (as BC changes with velocity).

Ok, let's assume that our BC is 0.08. If we use GA function with the value of 0.08 and the we use the same value with G1 function then the latter one will give more drop. Why?
