How does one go about finding the Rt/R value of a bullet. Thanks in advance.
 
Anyway, good question...

R = [L[SUP]2[/SUP] / ( D * T )] + [( D * T ) / 4]
Where
L = length of the ogive from the cylindrical portion of the body to the tip in inches
D = bullet diameter in inches
T = the diameter of the bullet tip (metplate) in inches
R = radius of the curve of the ogive in inches
