Ballistic Performance of Rifle Bullets 3rd Edition

It's got good info but there are a lot of bullets not listed. It's understandable because companies change /add/ discontinue bullets almost monthly - it seems.One would think - that with all the data that has been acquired and assimilated over the last 70 to 100 years, and the basic principles and mathematics of ballistic performance well developed and understood under the myriad of variables that occur, a good ballistics expert or team of experts with a strong software backround could create a software application that would fully describe ALL the factors of a bullet simply by plug and chug.Ie, describe the bullet in question from physical dimensions, (maybe from a drawing) then the SOFTWARE would provide the bullets g1bc and G7bc, drag coefficient, G7 form factors, the graphic g7BC over supersonic, transonic and sub sonic velocities, spin axis/ stability, pitch and yaw, Its miller stability and atmospheric effects, velocity corrections, coriolis effects... both vertical and horizontal, , and there variances in combination with environmental factors.Not a simple task but the software can be proven and eventually hardened with all the actual data already found through the myriad of testing already completed .

Great detail.

You will not regret owning this book. Not only can you use it for yourself, but I find that at long-range shooting events, other people are grateful that you have the book handy to look up their ballistic information as well. Worth every penny.

Reloading is all about the data - especially for folks who demand precision. For some, it's a crap in/crap out endeavor that results in frustration and wasted time/money. Additionally, don't rely on bullet ballistic coefficient data provided by manufacturers. Litz put in the time using solid methodology to compile real-world data that will absolutely help you achieve performance-based goals.Add this and Applied Ballistic for Long Rangr Shooting to your reloading library.

Good reference book for reloaders of precision rifles.

Brian really knows his ****. He has the resources and time spent testing to prove what he preaches. Learned so much and am now making much more informed decisions when doing load work ups or when selecting bullets to try on the range for a particular rifle.

Delivery was on time and the book is great Applied Ballistics is a great book

One can easily compile the information on the bullets they use, as opposed to spending money for this book to tell one what they should already know about the bullets one uses.
