    I'm not pretending to be Ballisticboy either but if the Ballistic Coefficient is calculated to be changing at different velocities then you're calculating against the wrong/inappropriate Drag Curve ... or perhaps you're using a 'constant Cd' approximation.
    Maybe you're thinking about the Drag Coefficient - which does indeed vary substantially with velocity.
