Hornady recently introduced a new ballistics calculator, called the 4DOF Ballistics Calculator. We investigate what it is and isn't. Does Rifling Affect Ballistics? Barrels come with different rifling types, and they all leave marks on the bullet. But do they impact the way it flies? We look...

The app provides a complete ballistics resource allowing you to select your cartridge, calculate bullet drop, atmospheric conditions (and more) that will enable you to maximize the long-range performance of your rifle and scope. Try it Now ...
That’s why we created the Impact Ballistics app. The app provides a complete ballistics resource allowing you to select your cartridge, calculate bullet drop, atmospheric conditions (and more) that will enable you to maximize the long-range performance of your rifle and scope. Try it Now SEE...
Running this data through a custom ballistics calculator that uses the mean velocity to get a fixed launch angle for all rounds gives the following vertical variation at the target for distances between 200 and 1000 yards: Will this humble 223 load be capable of 1000 yard performance? Here’s...
I really appreciated the T3 reticle on this scope, which helps me estimate windage and other bullet-affecting factors, especially at long distances. It’s located on the second focal plane, so it remains consistent regardless of whether I’m shooting long or close. This scope also benefits fro...
Also, some of the formulas for calculating your elevation get a bit unwieldy and require either a ballistics calculator or some skill with trigonometry to do it quickly and efficiently. This can be overcome with training, but it’s still more difficult to learn than MRAD. ...
A few months ago, I published an article about the devices and apps the top precision rifle shooters were using to calculate their ballistics. We saw that 76% used a Kestrel Ballistic Weather Meter, and 22% used some kind of phone app (see the data). How
This stands for Bullet Drop Compensation and is a ballistics reticle. These reticles are capable of giving you a true point of aim for a known distance to compensate for bullet drop. This is very useful for long range hunters. The distance markers may be hash marks, circles, or dots. The...
(70.7% of the wind speed is acting on the left right movement of the bullet in flight). If measured wind speed is 15 MPH one needs to multiply by 0.707 in order to calculate the adjustment needed. If the user were to use a calculator instead of the device of the present invention, ...
