What do we really know about the transonic zone?

Jim that patched bullet nose is a bit more rounded than the grease groove. The patched bullet does shoot well at 1000 , but I think I may of screwed up a little when I had him make it 1.45 long. I think taking the length to 1.4 would help it greatly in the 18 twist. Eddie had one made in straight sided at .446 1.4 long and it shoots very well.
If we ever get rain again, I want to try the bullet as is in the 110's to see if the extra velocity will eliminate some of the vertical at 1000. It does shoot quite well to 600 in the 18 twist.
I'm not sure yet whether to have Steve build another one for me at 1.4 or ask him to take the extra length off the block. More testing in order...
