About the Book
Exterior ballistics is a very mature science. Unfortunately, many shooters have not been able to completely access this field of knowledge because it’s usually described i272n highly technical language. The objective of this book is to explain the important elements of exterior ballistics in a practical way that can be understood and applied by shooters.
This book also offers an original contribution to the long range shooting sports: experimentally measured Ballistic Coefficient (BC) data for over 236 long range bullets of all popular brands. With truly accurate BC’s, shooters are empowered to make very precise trajectory calculations.
Included Software
Applied Ballistics For Long Range Shooting includes a CD containing Version 2.0 of the Point Mass Ballistics Solver. Combined with experimentally measured BC’s, this program is capable of modeling extremely accurate trajectories as verified in Chapter 8. This program has the unique ability to calculate spin drift using a method described in Chapter 6. Click here to see the instructions and capabilities of the included ballistics software. New capabilities of Version 2.0 are:
- Output to an easily printable text file.
- Output trajectory in inches, centimeters, MOA and MILS.
- Output bullet kinetic energy at all ranges.
Some Chapters Include:
The Ballistic Coefficient
Gravity Drop
Uphill/Downhill shooting
Wind Deflection
Gyroscopic (spin) drift
The Coriolis Effect
Using Ballistics Programs
Getting Control of Sights
Bullet Stability
Extended Long Range Shooting
Monolithic Bullets
Plus ballistic performance analysis for both long range hunting and target shooting Applications.
New for the Second Edition:
- Experimental test data on 61 additional bullets.
- Bullet data pages now include complete stability data.
- 42 more pages and larger 7x10 inch format.
- Two additional chapters plus expansion and correction of existing chapters.
- CD contains Version 2.0 of the Point Mass Ballistics Solver with most commonly requested upgrades.
