Is a lower ballistic coefficient better?
A bullet with a high BC will travel farther than one with a low BC since it will keep its speed better, resist the wind better, and “shoot flatter” (see external ballistics). When hunting with a rifle, a higher BC is good for several reasons. A higher BC results in a flatter flight.
What is applied ballistics calculator?
The Applied Ballistics Online Calculator is an advanced calculator that is for shooters that have read Bryan’s books and are looking for something with more depth than a standard ballistics calculator. It utilizes more advanced data than a standard calculator and can provide you with more accurate results.
How far can a .308 shoot?
