Thread: Litz - Ballistic Performance of Rifle Bullets 3rd Ed

Anyone on here got this book handy ?

If you could look up a couple of 6.5 projectiles for me that would be great.

Maybe go to JBM site. The bullet library therr uses a lot of Litz data.

Tx Woody, I'll give that a go

@ebf I have the Applied Ballistics App and can give you BC's and length's if you want

How about the length and bc of the .308 Sierra Gamechanger 165gr?

A kestrel 5700 is only $1295 and you know you need one!

But, but, I just normally lick my finger and hold it up to gauge wind and do a thumb-suck on dial. Seems to work ok

The cdm in the kestrel just says 1.000 in the app.
I used the cdm on my 16 inch 308.
I validated at 800m and had perfect elevation at 1050 and at 1264 was .1 out which could of been shooter era.
You wont get any better solutions than that.
And the best thing is no matter where you are you will get the right elevation adjustment as it all goes back through your kestrel sensors and solver.
Pretty well the single most important tool for external ballistics at elr you can have,
No argument.

The only way to get a true BC for your rifle is to shoot to distance from your rifle and true your data to suit. AB have already started to notice big shifts in BC in rifles as they wear let alone between different twist rates and barrel types.

Yep that is correct.
That is what the drop scale factor part of the validation equation that I run in my kestrel.
Yep some interesting stuff they are finding with their mobile lab
