    A book recommendation on ballistics?

    Hi all,
    Wondering if there are any good 'Intro to ballistics' books out there that you would recommend? Not looking for something super in depth. Just something to work my knowledge up. I'm new to shooting and more of a hunter than a ballistics or gun nutter, so I'm more focused on ballistics as it relates to getting the quarry; such as info on different projectiles etc.
    Cheers

    Cheers Toby. That website is damn good.

    I release I put this under the wrong section. Any idea how to move it? probably just restart it when I get the chance.

    This guy DOES know what he is talking about and is an expert and hasn't copied others' theories. He gets pretty deep into it though. His shipping costs are attrocious. I think Sinclairs have the book as well. And it is not just about ballistics for long range shooting.

    I have this book and its fantastic, but you will need an advanced physics degree to read some of it!

    The ballistics data at the back is great and so is the software that comes with the book.

    Cheers Zimmer, I'll see if I can track down that book in the library, otherwise I'll just spend more time on Terminal Ballistics and save myself the money haha
