Help,
I am a "doophus" mathematically. I will be going to Whttington the end of August and testing a new barrel for my wildcat rifle in .308 with the 212 grain Hornady ELDX bullet. Although I saw my last patient 17 years ago and am retired, I needed two people to help me pass my undergrad math equivilency and it took three times to get that accomplished.
I can get none of the ballistics calculators to work properly because I must be entering incorrect data.
is there someone out there who would be willing to help me in this matter?
Here are my specs: The wildcat I designed had 84.4 grains of water capacity. (approximately 308 Norma magnum) It is necked down from .366 to .308
The bullet I shall be testing is the Hornady .308 212 ELDX G7 is .337
Barrel length is 28 inches- velocity should be 2,900 -3,000 fps.
scope height 1.5
wind speed at 90 degrees 1mph, as per Brian Lizst
trajectory zero 200 yards
trajectory increments 100 yard intervals to 1,200 yards
I have wasted enough time on this , in my near total ignorance.
Much thanks to anyone who can provide me with the beginning data
