outerlimits Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 (edited) been playing with ballistic software for some time and it has been very useful. but until this past week, i had no idea how so. spent a whole day at the range playing with loads and testing scope BDC. decided to actually shoot the distances that i was so curious about relative to the ballistics tables i had been using. set up targets from 100 out to 325, in 25 yd increments. i'll be damn-those programs don't lie! nothing like actually verifying what those little bullets do over that distance. i walked away with a profound appreciation of the program and all the variables. little things like temperature, and downrange velocity all make sense now. and when i hit the next 3 gun stage where targets are at a specific distance, i will know, without a doubt, where those rounds will hit at those distances. i strongly recommend taking a day and trying the same. you will walk away with a confidence that might have been lacking before you were able to prove it to yourself. yea, it's boring and time consuming, but definitely worthwhile, Edited October 15, 2008 by outerlimits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonT Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Agreed. I have an exterior ballistics program that has been helpful. Now if I could find an interior ballistic program that's any good, that would be even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
