This video explains that while boat tail bullets often boast higher ballistic coefficients (BC) for marketing, flat base bullets are frequently more accurate for hunting and target shooting up to 300 yards due to better muzzle exit consistency. The speaker details the history of ballistics, the development of BC standards like G1 and G7, and argues that for most practical applications, the perceived advantages of boat tails are minimal compared to their sensitivity to bore imperfections. Flat base bullets are recommended for their superior accuracy and core retention in typical hunting scenarios.
Gunwerks' Long Range University (LRU) offers a three-level curriculum, with Level One designed for absolute beginners. The course covers essential topics like equipment selection, rangefinder use, bench shooting, rifle maintenance, and basic external ballistics. Students benefit from hands-on experience at their 4,000 sq ft Wyoming facility, which includes a 1,000-yard range and all necessary equipment provided.
This video demonstrates the final steps in configuring a factory Remington Sendero for extreme long-range shooting. It details how to input field data into G7 ballistics software to 'true' the rifle's performance, calculate precise muzzle velocity, and then use this validated data to create a custom, yardage-calibrated turret for the scope. The process is verified with successful hits at 649 and 1367 yards.
This video demonstrates configuring a factory rifle for long-range shooting by validating ballistic data. Mike Davidson uses G7 ballistics software with estimated bullet parameters and environmental data. He then verifies the rifle's zero at 200 yards and tests its performance at 500 and 950 yards, analyzing the impact to refine muzzle velocity and ballistic coefficient estimates for a custom turret.
This video demonstrates how to create a custom ballistic drop chart, or 'field card', using G7 Ballistics software. Key inputs include Ballistic Coefficient (BC), muzzle velocity, environmental data (altitude, temperature), and sighting data (scope height, zero range). The software allows customization of units and range increments, offering both 'Simple' and 'Complete' card options for different field scenarios. Range validation is crucial before hunting.
