Can you describe how BC is used in an equation for drag, as in
F_drag = C v^2

where C is a constant (involving BC in some way) and v = velocity?

If I fire a 7.62 mm round from a sniper rifle with a muzzel velocity of 792.48 m/s, at what angle would I need to hold the rifle in order to achieve a range of 3320 meters. Taking into account air resistance. I can figure this without taking air resistance into account. Any help?

If I sight my rifle (.308/22 inch barrel using 150 grain commercial bullets) to hit 1/2 inch above bulls eye at 50 yards, where will it hit( for hunting purposes only) at: 100, 200, & 300 yards?

Thanks, previously sent with site instead of sight.
