Anyone With KPY Or Similar?


Recommended Posts

Just got a new computer and am unable to update my Sierra Infinity Suite any more from the Windows 7 - new one is 10. The appropriate Suite is on order, but meanwhile could anyone with the Subject programme kindly spit out the velocity at 50 yards for TSS 18g for sizes 7,8 and 9 with a muzzle velocity (V0) of 1500?

Size 7 is 784fps @50yds 3.26ft lbs energy, 3.28" gel penetration and 4.14in drop

Size 8 is 748fps @50yds  2.16ft lbs energy, 2.73" gel penetration and 4.40in drop

Size 9 is 702fps @50yds  1.33ft lbs energy, 2.17" gel penetration and 4.76in drop

 

First post on the forum.

Hope this helps

I've now had chance to look at these and they do beg a further question as the Sierra Suite has arrived and I'm getting a consistently differing answer. I'm sorry about this, but could you possibly also do the same for lead in the same sizes? If you refer to the second topic down in this Bullets, Cartridges, etc, sub forum you can see that I've picked sizes with an apparent USA equivalent. However, it matters not if they do not coincide if you have have the actual diameter. Just so we're all singing from the same hymn sheet, I would have also asked Salopian's question but he beat me to it, so the diameter for the steel would also be good because of the intercontinental variations.

Thank you for your help, it really is appreciated.

This data is per KPY and using USA sizes from what I know.

 

#7 is .2.54mm (.100inch)

#8 is 2.286 (.090inch)

#9 is 2.032 (.080inch)

 

I can change the input data to match whatever number you like?

Here in the UK those equate to 6, 7&1/2 and 9 for lead and which will do nicely for me. Again looking for the 1500 ftsec muzzle and 50 yard range.

Once again, many thanks, will explain when things make sense.

Try this again.  Sorry about the pellet size discrepency.

These measurements are 500ft above sea level and 21c temp, 16km cross wind

Starting Velocity 1500fps

 

Lead English 6 (2.59mm) @ 50yds.  603fps, 1.27ftlbs energy, 1.27 gel penetration, 5.71in drop, 12.65in wind drift

Steel English 6 (2.59mm) @ 50yds. 447fps, .49ftlbs energy, .36 gel penetration, 8.13in drop, 12.65in wind drift

TSS English 6 (2.59mm) @ 50yds.   792fps, 3.52ftlbs energy, 3.40 gel penetration, 4.09 drop, 8.02 wind drift

 

Lead English 7 (2.31mm) @ 50yds. 555fps, .76ftlbs energy, .93 gel penetratinon, 6.30 drop, 14.17 in wind drift

Steel English 7 (2.31mm) @ 50yds.  393fps, .27ftlbs energy, .14 gel penetration, 9.50 drop and 21.41" wind drift

TSS Englis 7 (2.31mm) @50yds. 751fps, 2.25ftlbs energy, 2.78 gel penetration, 4.38 drop and 8.90 wind drift

 

Lead English 8 (2.21mm) @50yds. 533fps, .62ftlbs energy, .80 gel penetration, 6.60 drop and 14.93in wind driftt

Steel English 8 (2.21mm) @ 50yds 374fps, .21ftlbs energy, .07in gel penetration, 10.11 drop and 22.54in wind drift

TSS English 8 (2.21mm) @ 50yds 734fps, 1.87ftlbs energy,. 2.55in gel penetration, 4.51in drop and 9.28in wind drift

 

Lead English 9 (2.03mm) @ 50yds 495fps, .41 ftlbs energy, .59in gel penetration, 7.23 drop and 16.43in wind drift

Steel English 9 (2.03mm) @ 50yds 338fps, . .14ftlbs energy, .59in gel penetration, 7.23 drop and 16.43in wind drift (yes...drop and drift same as lead)

TSS English 9 (2.03mm) @ 50yds 702fps, 1.33ftlbs energy, 2.17in gel penetration, 4.76in drop and 10.02in wind drift.  

 

TSS 8.5 and 10's are what I use in 28 and 410.....duplexed with steel.  SMASHES ducks and geese

Once again, thank you very much indeed. I don't/won't use NTS as I only shoot vermin and where I do there's no standing water. However my step-son is going to have to sooner or later so I ran the figures for TSS on the Sierra Infinity Suite - I've used this forever as I also shoot rifle and this does the lot. The only weak link is me as you have to input the BC which I've been known to mess up on occasion. I thought I'd run a confidence check so hence the request for the KPY information. This reflected a consistent 6% low set of readings from Infinity. Then, running the lead and steel figures with the corrected environmental input which you kindly once again provided, the two programmes were in perfect agreement. I've double checked my BC figures and they're correct as calculated from the Max Carbide TSS specification web-site. For these I used the standard environmental conditions when I ran the programme.

As Infinity appears to be running true, I'm going to assume that the input for the TSS BC in the KPY is a little different from that which I calculated and as this errs on the side of caution in the Infinity, then so be it he can live with a small error on the safe side.
