Labrabaco is a tool to calculate G7 BC values from Labradar tracks. Rejoice, citizens! The first official beta is out.

Typical results look like this (different measurement sessions for the same projectile are listed separately):

“Ref BC” is a known good G7 BC from “BC src”. “Baco BC” lists the values calculated by labrabaco from radar tracks.
For all but one bullet, it looks perfectly ok for most practical applications (<2%).
Wish I had an adult-size Doppler radar to check if Hornady ELDM 6.5 147gr really behaves so differently from all other bullets tested.
