A world-renowned stuntman is recovering after his human cannonball stunt took a horrifying turn when a gust of wind knocked him off course in front of onlookers at a California fair.

Come about 4 mils left. Wind was full value L-R. He would have been good with no crosswind.

 

[Sniperwannabee]

No urgency what so ever on the people standing around watching, I guess there was no medical staff on standby

 

[Namekagon]

Maybe the guy put on a few lbs and he went from a 6mph gun to a 3mph gun

You may be right. It is hard to find a man of his caliber.

See what I did there?

Thankyouverymuch

Working for yourself looks like this

That 609.5 mm is a relatively new cartridge. There is not much ballistic data available yet.

What’s the BC? Looks like a bonded projo

 

[NoDopes]

Oh, wait... Thought we were using MOA?

 

[Namekagon]

If I did that I’d need a rebated-boat tail BC.

With the llimited data available and based on the video best I can tell is a round nose projectile. Should put it in the -50 BC range. I would guess it chronoed at 50 FPS.
He should of definitely had a spotter, wasn't too bad for a cold barrel.

 

[tomcatmv]

It was a hollow head....I mean point.

 

[GreenGO Juan]

This is what happens when you don’t properly clean your barrel during break in.

Ok ok. I take it back. Maybe we do need 10mil of hold on the reticle.

 

[paulrem308]

Was using moa instead of mills. His kestrel abviosly led to him

Now we know who’s been hoarding all the trail boss for subsonic loads.

 

[JoshPutman]

What's the SD and ES on that load?

 

[Ronin_64]

What's the SD and ES on that load?

I believe the ES just increased exponentially

 

[Makinchips208]

IMPAAACT!

 

[stemikel]

He did not account for the Coriolis effect.

21 post.....c'mon guys! Clear case of spindrift!

You win internets for the day.
Maybe it was the combo of genius thread title coupled with the subject matter....but i laughed till my eyes watered.
Wife sitting here...."What is so funny?"
Show her thread title, then the little article blurb...
"You really aren't all there, are you?"

Psst....
Trailboss was shit. Thats why its gone.
Fast burning pistol powder above Alliant 2400 is the answer to all subsonic conundrums.
No it isn't position sensitive and detonation is a myth.
PM if you want details.

This is what you get when you rely on a ballistic calculator instead of a DOPE book...

Just 'sayin!

Guess CA windage isn't the same as KY.

 

[ironpony52]

He failed to compensate for the earths rotation he was moving so slow...................

 

[Alphatreedog]

1,575,000 grain FAFO projectile .
Looked like it tumbled after initial impact .

So, maybe a higher twist ratio would help?

Should have read the mirage better.

 

[Alphatreedog]

No no no Carl ! It's supposed to be a splatter target not a splatter projectile .

 

[Kamerad]

That? That’s a flyer.

Cover it with a quarter and remeasure.

 

[Namekagon]

He experienced approximately 20 feet of drift in a 50 yard flight. 480 MOA of drift on a 200lb projectile with an admittedly terrible BC. I'd say 15-20mph wind based on the video.

But TOF was 2.5 seconds! Thats the equivalent of 168GR FGMM at 1200 yards. In that time the SMK would drift about 393 inches.

In other words, left edge didn't cut it on this one.

 

[Ronws]

Turns they make shoot-n-see targets in blood red.
