Range Report Trajectory Programs

[RobertHode]

New guy question.

In a ballistic program, if all data is input accurately, will it put the bullet on target, up to the accuracy of the weapon?

Is one program better (more accurate) than another?

Thanks

No program is perfect to guarantee hits at long ranges with no field testing. To many varibles from rifles, bullets, chronograph distance from muzzle, etc.

That being said it's amazing how good they are.

Google JBM ballistics and look here for a free one from Berger/Bryan Litz.

Re: Trajectory Programs

A ballistic program can get you close - but not necessarily precisely on target. See:
