Ballisticboy replied to the thread 📈 How to Calculate a Custom Drag Model (CDR).When you have some velocities for one of the projectiles, send them to me and I will use them to derive a drag law which we can compare...- Ballisticboy replied to the thread Tarantulas, tiny Kill Zones, and the DRS.Nice video. I wonder how the wasp sting compares to the Box jellyfish sting?

- Ballisticboy replied to the thread 📈 How to Calculate a Custom Drag Model (CDR).I just looked at the article referenced above. The main thing which comes out of it is how out of touch with the ballistics world the...
- Ballisticboy reacted to Caliber 22's post in the thread Maximum distance for accurate pellet shooting. with Like. I did not intent this thread to be a pellet vs slug comparison, but about pellets for those of us choosing to use pellets. This is what...
- Ballisticboy replied to the thread Maximum distance for accurate pellet shooting..There are things that could be done to pellets, or more precisely pellet shaped projectiles, to make them more suitable for long range...
- Ballisticboy reacted to thomasair's post in the thread Testing new 22 caliber slug design with Like. Yesterday, I began testing a new shape 22 caliber slug I made for my swage press. I've been shooting around 8-10k slugs per month for...
- Ballisticboy replied to the thread Precision Pecking Order: Slug Brands.Even in external ballistics, the word "precision" has different meanings. What is called precision in the US is called dispersion in the...
- Ballisticboy replied to the thread Explosive Pellets.You should never even think of using these pellets on anything living, the chances of hitting in the right place, even at short ranges...
- Ballisticboy replied to the thread Explosive Pellets.I tested some of these in .177 from a 12FPE rifle. They are so light, they had an MV of 990 ft/sec but still only about 8FPE, some may...
- Ballisticboy reacted to Caliber 22's post in the thread Maximum distance for accurate pellet shooting. with Like. I live in a built-up rural area with houses all around me and 99% of the time I shoot at my shooting range at home and my longest safe...
- Ballisticboy replied to the thread Bc hades .25.Was MV really 1364 ft/sec? That is an awfully high MV for that type of pellet. It could also explain the higher BC value as the GA drag...
- Ballisticboy replied to the thread Wind - pellets vs slugs - amazing difference.Surface area has very little effect on the drag, as the skin friction drag is only a small component of the total drag. Base drag is the...
- Ballisticboy replied to the thread Wind - pellets vs slugs - amazing difference.Regardless of the actual wind speed, if you want to truly compare wind effects you need to fire interleaved serials where you fire one...
