    Suppressors Form 4 wait time

    Last one I did (a week or two ago) was submitted individual Efile on a Sunday and approved Wednesday morning.

    Suppressor and BC

    Yes we have a few examples of that. I'm asking around to make sure if I can share and if I can it will be sanitized so as not to cause any cataclysm. Some designs are definitely worse at increasing drag, but there are other metrics involved (flash, recoil, sound, etc...) so it's not an...

    I'll dig through the radar folder and see if I can find something they'll let me post publicly.

    Suppressor and BC

    As a related topic, if you make bullets with eccentric mass on purpose (non-concentric jackets, drilled holes, etc...) you see similar effects. I have loosely correlated this to poor dispersion loads, too. The center of rotation isn't about the center of mass or center of form and it causes...

    The shape doesn't change, but drag is dependent on the orientation of the object to the oncoming airflow. If the bullet is pointed perfectly straight forward to the oncoming airflow it will have certain Cd. If the bullet has .01 degrees AoA (angle of attack) to the oncoming airflow it will...

    Yes. Muzzle devices are one of the main reasons that the Hornady 4 DoF app has "Axial Form Factor" correction built in as a end-user option. Different brakes and suppressors in conjunction with different barrels, rifling types, twist rates, powders, etc... can all affect the drag of a...

    Zero angle question

    There's no follow-on correction needed after having the app calculate zero angle regardless of base incline. Just so that's clear. However, if you went from a rifle with a 0 MOA base zero angled, then put in a perfectly machined 30 MOA base, you could add 0.5 degrees to your zero angle and...

    Bullet stabilization issues? .300 Norma Mag

    If you ever have questions about stability with Hornady bullets or bullets in the 4DOF library, use 4DoF to check gyro. It uses a physical model of the bullet, not a generalized Miller style formula. Here's the 230 in a 10 twist at sea level. Should shoot groups fine but will probably have...

    Bullet stabilization issues? .300 Norma Mag

    230 Atip should be Okay in 1:10 (but barely). 250's will not be.

    Is bullet still stable/accurate after it goes subsonic?

    It's been a minute since I looked at this subject. I ran a bunch of 6DoF simulations but the simulations are always subject to the input/boundary conditions vs. reality so it can be difficult to verify if any of it is real trends or just junk data. I think years ago Jayden did a bunch of...

    Which bipod for PRS and NRL Hunter

    Standard single pull Ckye pod. In PRS if you need a double or triple pull someone in the squad will have one. (Most of the time, even when the whole squad thinks they need it.. you don't need it). If you need more height in NRL Hunter, use a tripod with a tac table. It's usually set up to...

    16-18 inch shorty rifles

    Cut the front 16" off of last year's match barrel to get into fresh rifling then whittled a bit on the Bridgeport. It rings every time it gets bumped... lol we'll see if it shoots worth a damn. Should be a good beater coyote truck gun. ETA: Mack Bros Element XLR Atom + Sig folder HS Precision...

    Vintage Sniper Rifle Picture Thread

    Appropriate piece of laminate tracked down! Also fitted a reproduction mount to the rifle and bolted in a post-war Hensoldt. Figured it has the holes might as well bolt an optic on for looks.

    22arc versus 6 arc

    No AR Comp data on file for 75ish gr. projectiles, sorry.
