Abstract:

A ballistic coefficient BC can be determined by using two chronographs a measured distance away from each other and shooting a bullet so the velocity is measured by the two devices. Ballistic modeling software requires accurate measurement of ballistic coefficients to accurately predict downrange trajectories wind drift, and retained energy.
