that is experimental data. not theoretical my friend
We're not seeing his experimental data (velocities at ranges). Instead, the graph is depicting the results of some method that takes his raw data and outputs a BC value. In this case, the method is based on an invalid assumption (constant Cd) resulting in an incorrect and therefore variable BC value.
If it's still not obvious, then I'll reverse engineer his graph - best I can - to show how it should have been interpreted.
