This podcast episode delves into the complexities of long-range shooting, focusing on external ballistics, bullet design, and wind calling. Experts Brian Litz and Amel Preslick explain concepts like ballistic coefficient (BC), its measurement, and the differences between G1 and G7 standards. They also discuss VLD vs. tangent ogive designs and the nuances of wind reading, emphasizing the importance of understanding the science behind these factors for accurate long-range engagement.

This video from Gunwerks, featuring a subject matter expert, delves into the technical aspects of improving Ballistic Coefficient (BC) for long-range bullets. It explains how factors like sectional density, nose length, and boat tail design impact aerodynamic performance, offering specific percentages for potential BC increases. The instruction emphasizes optimizing bullet shape for stability and downrange velocity in specific barrel twist rates, crucial for serious long-range hunting applications.
