LoadBase 2.0 Ballistics--Users' Discussions

[Eaglet]

Gents,

I got my Patagonia Ballistics LoadBase 2.0 Program Running!

I have been using it for an hour or so and what I've seen so far I really like!

Since we are all in the learning process, this would be a place to ask

questions and hopefully we will all help each other!

Thanks to Huntinfool for his help. Well done job! There is still a "Group

Buy" list for those that did not get a chance to participate.

Very good idea Eaglet I'm sure some of your are light years ahead of me when it comes to using any software!

Thanks to all of you for joining in on this group buy and making it a sucess!

Eaglet,

I'll be curious to see the results you'll get. I thought about joining the group buy but decided to wait as I currently have too many ballistic programs and all but one goes unused. I also have Dr. Pejsa program which is what your program is based off of. The new Patagonia Ballistics LoadBase 2.0 has a bunch more features

My only recommendation when getting your retard coefficient (Dr Pejsa term) or drag coefficient is to measure the distances very accurately. Don’t use a laser range finder as they aren’t accurate enough for what you want to do. I use a surveyor wheel I purchased at Home Depot for about $50.00. I tested it at the new high school football field which just laid the new artificial turf. My wheel rolled the 100 yards in 100 yards and 6” consistently.

Also, it’s very easy to shoot through a chronograph at 100, 200 and even 300 yards. The more data and especially accurate data you have the more accurate your results will be. Like most things in life garbage in will be garbage out so try to be as accurate as you can.

Once your up and running and you’ve got a good feel for the program let me know. I’d like to shoot you some data to run through it to see how accurately it matches my actual shooting data.

Best of luck and enjoy the new program

Jeff In TX,

I appreciate your comments. I'll try to get those dimensions as close as I can.

I'm very happy with this program so far, I think that the data base alone is worth the "group buy" price. And it will do so much much more...!

Though I'm still in the process to learn the program, please go ahead and e-mail or PM your info, I'll plug it in LoadBase and it will even create a report in html so I can mail the results in a format that look very nice.

Please, send it to me.

Thanks again!

Eaglet,
Do you have Vista as an operating system by any chance?
Mine is still not up yet.
