    Range Report Boat-tail backward ballistics

    I've never in my life made a mistake because of gin. Ever. Probably because I can't stand gin. Whiskey fuels my mistakes. :-D No worries, I just wanted to make sure I didn't have my wires crossed. It's been a few years since I took fluids in college.

    Range Report Boat-tail backward ballistics

    Everything I've used considers 5% change in density as compressible, which occurs around .33 Mach. .75 mach would be a much much greater relative change in density. Would you mind providing a source? If I'm considering this wrong, I'd like to know why.

    Range Report Boat-tail backward ballistics

    You could approximate a backward boat tail bullet as an airfoil shape. This shape is known to have a lower coefficient of drag, but only at low speeds. Above Mach .3, where air is considered a compressible medium, is where this is no longer advantageous. Since Mach 1 is considered to be 1125...

    How about a gardening thread?

    I've been playing with an aquaponics setup (constant flood) for the past few months. I've grown bibb lettuce, basil, watercress, garlic, and spinach. Mostly lettuce at this point, I harvest a side salad everyday. I just planted dwarf kale and arugula in place of the spinach and part of the...

    GA Precision waiting time??

    I would call rather than email. I sent an email about upgrading a rifle and never received a response.

    Black Friday Deal @ Dick's - REM 700 for $449

    It's a good deal, and you're certainly free to make your own decisions. However, Dicks could be giving away Rem 700's, and I wouldn't set foot in that place. They can pound sand.

    How about a gardening thread?

    I planted one of these this weekend, already have some great looking sprouts. I live in a suburban area, on a sloping lot. Gardening is difficult. This will at least keep herbs going year round. The starter kit came with basil, wheat grass, and lettuce, but I'll probably replace the lettuce and...

    3d Printing

    I don't know if it's the one you ran across previously, but I posted a thread about a 3D printer a few months ago. A good friend of mine bought one. We've been using it quite a bit. I'll answer any questions I can, feel free to ask away. The key to 3D printing is the same as any other...

    Interesting test of a new airless ATV tire.

    50-cal AK? Probably from Red Jacket. Game changer.

    Welcome! I'm in Lawrence. I've found a lot of great info here, but did not know about the KS meetup thread. Off to search I go...

    Video: Have You Ever Wondered How Rimfire Ammunition is Made?

    Very similar process. I toured the Lake City facility a couple years ago. Awesome place.

    Hunting & Fishing 6.8 or 6.5 for hunting inside 300yds

    6.8 SPC gets my vote. Of course, I chose 6.8 SPC. I shoot a Rem 700 in .308 and was looking for <300 yard deer rifle. I bought a Bison Armory 16" Recon upper, and couldn't be happier. Ben @ Bison is a great builder all the way around.

    Hunting & Fishing Cabelas OR Bass Pro ?

    I've always thought of BP as a fishing store that happens to carry some hunting/shooting gear, and Cabela's as a hunting/shooting store that happens to carry some fishing gear. That being said, I haven't had great service at the BP's in my area so I stick to Cabela's.

    Good pants without drawing attention or looking like a tacti-tard.

    I came here to post this. I freaking love mine, they're great and inexpensive.

    JAE700 has arrived!

    Looks amazing. If you consider unloading the Whiskey 3, drop me a line. I might be interested. :-)
