I do find the BC calculators very interesting and they do give one an idea of what the certain load will do or how it may perform. But I never hang my hat on those charts.
I think it worth noting, that the charts can only be as good at the data which goes into their calculation. The trajectory chart is not a precise predictor unless all the data going into the calculationclosely approximates reality. Alot of factors affect the performance of a particular load and it is only the performance which matters. The performance is "real life".
What was neat about Redclub's data is that it allows us to do the opposite of what cayugad and myself have warned about. Instead of attempting to "predict" a real life experience, it gives us the opportunity to take a real life experience and then to analyze it for additional information.
