Why not a RF comeup and wind pinned thread?

Re: Why not a RF comeup and wind pinned thread?

JBM has models for rimfire bullets. You can get more precise dope using that if you know your velocities.
 
Re: Why not a RF comeup and wind pinned thread?

Seems to be a good topic, though the velocities are pretty important, so I've tried to work out BC's for a few different ammo's and write the speeds down for each of my rifles with each ammo.


The G1's that I can glean from about a dozen types of 40gr ammo are:

RN G1 0.147-0.150

HP G1 0.140-0.142

The 36gr ones end up being almost exactly 10% less.

Knowing your average velocity and using that information will get you much closer than using someone else's dopes.

Thanks, that's good to know.
