This video, featuring ballistician Bryan Litz, explains the critical concept of the transonic range in long-range shooting. Litz details how bullet performance and predictability change significantly as velocity drops below approximately 1340 feet per second, requiring advanced ballistic knowledge for sustained accuracy. He recommends his 'Applied Ballistics' book series for those seeking to master these complex effects.

This video, featuring ballistician Bryan Litz, explains the Coriolis effect as a second-order ballistic phenomenon impacting long-range shots on a rotating Earth. It highlights that the effect's significance increases with bullet flight time and is influenced by latitude and azimuth. While subtle for most calibers under 1000 yards, it becomes crucial for extended-range precision shots in low-wind conditions, requiring careful calculation for maximum hit probability. The video emphasizes that other factors like wind often dominate uncertainty at typical ranges.

This video focuses on the REVIC PMR428 Smart Rifle Scope and demonstrates how to calibrate its internal compass. The compass is highlighted as a key feature that enables the scope to calculate and compensate for Coriolis effect in ballistics calculations. The content is presented by Aaron Davidson and is a production of Gunwerks, encouraging viewers to subscribe for more long-range shooting content, tips, and ballistics information.

This video details a one-mile shot attempt with a Desert Tech SRS Covert rifle chambered in .338 Lapua Magnum. It highlights the challenges of extreme long-range shooting, including the need for precise ammunition, scope adjustments, and accounting for external ballistics like spin drift and the Coriolis effect. The quick-change barrel system and bullpup design of the SRS are also showcased.

The Revic PMR428 Smart Rifle Scope, developed over five and a half years, offers advanced features for long-range shooting. It integrates a ballistics calculator, weather station, and multiple environmental sensors to provide real-time corrections for wind, spin drift, Coriolis effect, and aerodynamic jump. The scope allows for both virtual BDC and traditional turret dialing, with a convenient tool-less re-zero function. It maintains standard scope functionality even if the battery fails and connects via Bluetooth for easy ballistic profile management.

This episode of "Long Range Pursuit" follows Mike Davidson on a mule deer hunt in Kansas, where he uses a muzzleloader. The hunt continues with his brother Aaron taking down a large mule deer in Alberta. The video also features new staff member Jeremy Winters demonstrating the impact of the Coriolis effect on long-range shooting. The Gunwerks YouTube channel is promoted for its content on long shots, tough shots, shooting tips, DIY, and ballistics.

This guide details the process of calibrating a ballistic solution, a critical technique for achieving accuracy at long range. Bryan Litz, a recognized expert, explains how to 'true' solvers using muzzle velocity and Drag Scale Factor (DSF) based on observed impacts. Accurate input data, including precise range and environmental factors, is emphasized to avoid baking in errors. Once calibrated, the system adapts to new conditions, ensuring first-shot accuracy.

This episode of Long Range Pursuit features Mike and Aaron Davidson hunting two large bears, with shots taken at a combined distance of 1400 yards. The video highlights the impact of the Coriolis Effect on long-range shooting accuracy in its "Long Range Ballistics" segment. Additionally, a "DIY tip" demonstrates how to develop a personal ballistic profile. The episode encourages viewers to subscribe to the Gunwerks YouTube channel for more long shots, challenging shots, shooting advice, DIY projects, and ballistics content.

Instruction from Bryan Litz, a recognized expert in ballistics, highlights the critical factors for long-range accuracy. Range estimation and wind compensation are paramount, with tools like laser rangefinders and Kestrel meters being essential. Advanced shooters should also account for secondary effects like spin drift and the Coriolis effect.

This video demonstrates the significant impact of the Coriolis effect on long-range bullet drop, particularly at 1000 yards. Experiments show directional POI shifts of up to 11 inches (over 1 MOA) when shooting East vs. West due to Earth's rotation. The data suggests collecting ballistic data North or South to mitigate this vertical error.

This is the second part of a video series focusing on the Gseven Ballistic Calculator. The content emphasizes calculating advanced ballistic factors such as spin drift and the Coriolis effect for precise long-range shooting. It also details how to use trajectory validation to determine a firearm's true muzzle velocity, crucial for accurate ballistics.

This video demonstrates a challenging 1-mile shot using a Gunwerks LR1000 rifle in 6.5x284. It highlights the critical importance of accounting for external ballistics, including the Coriolis effect and wind, for extreme long-range accuracy. The demonstration showcases the use of advanced ballistic software and precise scope adjustments to achieve a successful hit on a 20-inch steel target.
