Re: Formulas? Alright, thank you for all the information. Gee I need a job to buy all this stuff!!

Re: Formulas? Alright, but does anyone know how to do it on paper? It's a rather good thing to know, I believe. Thanks.

Alright guys, does anyone know of a formula for: figuring out the fps of a projectile at different ranges with a given fps, and a formula for figuring out bullet drop with or without a given drop? Thank you. Collin

Re: My spare time shooting calculations! I got this information from that little free Remington Shoot program. 1,000 yards - .308 Winchester 168g., 2,680fps, .475 BC, 10mph full value wind, 397.61 in. drop, 102.78 in. drift, TOF 1.703, 1203fps at impact. 39.761moa down, 10.278moa windage...

Re: My spare time shooting calculations! Don't you worry, I was listening. I don't mean to sound like a know-it-all, but honestly, I know just about everything that the teacher is tellig us for four hours a day so far. Anyways, back to the topic. Alright, got some real bullet balistics...

Re: My spare time shooting calculations! As I said in my post, these are "made up stats." The bullet information was something, again, that was "made up." I was doing all this just to work my boared mind and have some fun at the same time. Am I right or close though in my caculations and such?

While taking a Drivers Ed class (have to take it here in VA to get your license. Oh, how I miss Florida for that!) today (nine days in total), I started writing down some things that I actually enjoy: balistics. Here is a situation (first one) that I gave myself to fiqure out. 1,000 yards-...

Re: Aspiring Gunsmith Thank you guys so very much for all the help! That TAOGART program is amazing and thank you a ton for that link!!! I sort of wish it wasn't run by the government (I believe private would be best), but, heck, I'll take anything I can find!! Maybe I'm wrong in my thinking...

Re: Aspiring Gunsmith Thank you for that, kind sir! I believe some community college in Salem has a good program. I don't think Virginia western (closer to me) has that sort of thing. All advice is more than welcome! Thank you.

Hello, so here is my question: Does anyone know of anybody that would be willing to take on an apprentice to learn in a shop about gunsmithing in Virginia (roanoke area)? I am absolutely sick and tired of sitting around wanting so badly to go and learn the art of gunsmithing but not knowing how...

I will be moving to the Roanoke, Virginia area soon, so does anyone know of some good outdoor ranges and training facilities? Any help would be much appreciated! Thank you. Collin

Re: U.S. Army Team Tests Radical New Dimpled Bullet Your right, I just need to admit that it is real. Haha!

Re: Questions about USMC and Scout Snipers Do the Marines not have a push-up standard really anymore? Is it not required in the PFT? I don't know about you guys, but there is just something about push-ups that really gets to me! I find it rather easy to push myself in anything else, but...

Re: U.S. Army Team Tests Radical New Dimpled Bullet I didn't quite believe it when I read it. It would seem that if you did do this to a bullet the projectile would have way more drag, but I'm no physics expert. For example, if you made a car body with a golf ball design, the air would fill...
