How It Works

Calculate the G1 ballistic coefficient of a rifle bullet based on measured velocity at two distances. Use BC to model bullet drop and wind drift at long range

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • Measured velocity at two distances — The measured velocity at two distances recorded for the scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the rifle ballistic coefficient result against the thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the measured velocity at two distances for the scenario you are assessing. Calculate the G1 ballistic coefficient of a rifle bullet based on measured velocity at two distances. Use BC to model bullet drop and wind drift at long range. Use the rifle ballistic coefficient result to inform your calculation.
