Ballisticboy replied to the thread Pellet stability.The centre of drag, like the centre of gravity, for the pellet lies on the pellet centreline, with no particular longitudinal point of...- Ballisticboy replied to the thread How fast do 30 cal slugs have to go in order to stabilize?.Slugs do not get more stable as speed increases. In fact, like most spin stabilized projectiles, at subsonic speeds the faster they are...

Like. Great intel. I can't wait for my order of rebated slugs to arrive for testing. - Ballisticboy replied to the thread Any rebated Boat Tail Slugs shooters out there?.A rebated boat tail is claimed to improve the intermediate ballistics, thus reducing group sizes compared to a straight non rebated boat...
- Ballisticboy replied to the thread How to figure this...?.Simples. Because I read it on this one first. :)
- Ballisticboy reacted to Scotchmo's post in the thread Will the 7mm That’s Being Introduced by the Wolfiek Group Prove to be Better for Competitive Shooters? with Like. A slightly shorter 106gr 7mm will work well in the 1:14 twist TJ barrel...
- Ballisticboy replied to the thread How to figure this...?.Approximately 11.7 degrees outside, about 12.1 degrees internally.
- Ballisticboy reacted to Motorhead's post in the thread Will the 7mm That’s Being Introduced by the Wolfiek Group Prove to be Better for Competitive Shooters? with Like. 7mm would be a SLUG ONLY caliber as projectile lengths are long that also require a somewhat fast twist rate to stabilize them. SCOTCHMO...

- Ballisticboy replied to the thread Ballistic Coefficient: A Real World Example.Not really semantics, differentiating between the two is very important if you want to understand what is happening. As for the 100...
- Ballisticboy replied to the thread Ballistic Coefficient: A Real World Example.You are talking about accuracy, where BC will have an effect. I was talking about group size, or precision in US nomenclature, which is...
- Ballisticboy replied to the thread Ballistic Coefficient: A Real World Example.Unless you are shooting on a windy day with the wind varying a lot, BC will not help your group sizes, that is much more complex.
- Ballisticboy replied to the thread Max flight range for an airgun pellet or slug..Both MERO and the original Chairgun will give maximum ranges.
- Ballisticboy replied to the thread Strelok Pro Questions.GA is not a suitable drag function for slugs, particularly at speeds approaching 1000 ft/sec. The BC quoted by FX may well be based on...
