Bewsher500 Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 What that analysis fails to take into account though is that the bullet is no longer rotating about its axis. The reason for the whine is the bullet is tumbling and therefore the ballistic coefficient in that chart is invalid. If the 30gr bullet is still moving at 100fps that's under a ftlb of energy it wont be airborne for long. ahead of you did you look at the BC? 0.05...that a mishapen lump you could make it 0.01 doesnt make that much difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brett1985 Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 (edited) I used to love spending a quick 20 mins practicing range estimation on the local driving range before heading out on to the course for bunnies. you want to see/hear a .177 pellet ricochet? go shoot at some golf balls! it was all fun and games until one came back from about 60 yards and imbedded itself in my bottle of squash! (no joke!) I gave up after that, lol Edited March 7, 2016 by brett1985 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
