Hey I was wondering if anybody here knows of a good site or somethig to help me out on balistics. I have been working on it on my own but am not getting very far. If anybody here and help that would be great.

It is a big field, there are good introductions in most loading books. I like Serria's drop tables best of the books I have.

Yea I heard that to but I havnt looked into it very much but was planning on it. I was just going to see if anybody had anything else. Thank you for your help also!!

Heller, Welcome to the site, first off.

Like stated earlier, most reloading manuals have something in them about Ballistics. Hornady devote 1 of it's 2 volume set to nothing but ballistics. There a number of different computer programs available also.

If you are looking for free, online ballistics info, I use the following:

http://www.hornady.com/ballistics/
http://www.exteriorballistics.com/
http://www.eskimo.com/~jbm/calculations/calculations.html

HWD, btw Hornady's latest edition loading manual just refers to the web site for ballistics info.

Zerbe,

Here I was thinking I had the most up to date Hornady Book! I need to check on the date of my ''newest'' ones. It's a 2 volume set like my old ones.

Sorry if I misled anyone.

Zerbe, you were right as usual. My addition of the Hornady manual is the 6th. The 6th is a 2 vloume set that includes all kinds of charts for ballistics on handguns and rifles, at all kinds of ranges. I reckon paper is more expensive and more time consuming that the NET, huh?

Hello Sir,
You're an expert when it comes to drillings, and if i may, I would like to ask you a couple of questions.

i am looking at a couple of drillings and i am trying to understand the calibers of the riffles.
it seems like the 8mm mauser is a fine caliber and will take anything up to a boar.
8x57jr
however i cant seem to get much info on the 9.3x72
what is this type of caliber? what can it be used for?
i thought initially it was a bigger caliber for bigger game... but im not so sure and it seems that its 3x the cost of the mauser.

both drillings are about the same age/german and in good condition with 16g doubles over the top.

any information/advise you can send my way would be greatly appreciated.
thanks for your time.
cheers
james

FYI, the eskimo link for the JBM page hasn't worked in a while, here's the good url:

enjoy!

I use the JBM calculations for my 1000 yard shooting, they seem to be pretty close to real world results.

Thanks Pat for the updated link.
