BEEMAN, what is the process for forming the brass?

True. I just didn't make the time and wasn't prepared for how expensive it is to live here. Only in Belgium for another 7 or 8 weeks (been here about 2 years), then back to the States--just in time for deer season. The family and I made several trips to the UK, must say it was refreshing to...

Welcome! I think you'll enjoy this forum. Lots of good info to be found. I always enjoy my trips to the UK, it would be cool to hunt there some day. Also, I appreciate your service to your country.

Yeah, in hind sight that's the obvious. It was a break open single shot--would have been so easy to look down the barrel. To tell you how times have changed, a few days later I took the gun to school and my shop teacher (who was a part time gunsmith) removed the damaged end of the barrel and...

If I understand history correctly, the BC was developed as a way to address the fact that the drag force is different on every type of projectile. So to simplify things and not have to make measurements of drag deceleation for every type of projectile, the BC was proposed as a method to scale...

LTLR, I found the following statement in an article on exterior ballistics: Wind has a range of effects, the first being the effect of making the bullet deviate to the side. From a scientific perspective, the "wind pushing on the side of the bullet" is not what causes wind drift. What causes...
