I got 80%
Not sure I agree with their answer about the hollow point in match projectiles.
Sorry EBF - 90% and the one I got wrong said I chose 0.1 milirad when I was certain I chose 2". Damn tablet keyboard. The hollow point I was reasonably certain about but thanks for the semi heads up. :thumbsup:
Yup, that was the other one that got me too :D
Always though the hollow point created some mini area of low pressure / low drag. Never too old to learn so etching new !
60% :( Still learning.
80 %. my halfassd attempt to work out 0.1 of a degree got me and the air density Q
dumb arse me only 60%
70% with heaps of guesses :)

If your observed trajectory is ½ MOA low from a ballistic software prediction at ALL RANGES, the most likely cause is:
= you are f'ing blind, go back to Kaitoke and do it right.
I got the 2" at 100yds wrong....doh.
60% but then i'm a bush hobbit. Could almost get away with using a club which doesn't require knowledge about BC, spin drift, speed of sound (which I guess is a major factor) air density etc
Mauser308, I pretty much got to the air density / humidity thing by discarding the other options...
Litz in his book reckons that humidity is so small an effect, that you just set the balistic calc to 50% humidity and forget about it.
With the hollow points I was thinking of the SMK and SGK which I have used both on deer successfully
80% 3 AND 9 GOT ME don't agree re hollow point being a spin off of manufacturing......
80% Q.3 and Q.5 I think were the ones I got wrong
embarrassingly I got q3 wrong, but then I have never used a mil scope and that threw me :D
ha !!! 40% .... im a fukkin idiot
The 556 75/77gr mod1 is in fact a SMK I believe.Quote:

8/10, whats this meant to be, to see whos got the biggest wanga? you can know it all, but its gotta translate to dead animals
90% - got Q5 wrong dam it! Seams obvious now, but couldn't work it out at the time.

I'm embrassed to say I only got 50% when I first tried, I've been flagellating mysef ever since.
I'm pleased to report though that after a suitable period of self scourging, every subsequent time I have taken the test I have achieved 100%.
