The camel will recover and I know you, and I know that you will really enjoy the book. I'm on my third time through it and it's better each time.

Re: Book Review - Applied Ballistics For Long Range Shooting By Gustavo F. Ruiz

I'd made this observation on another thread (New Book: "Applied Ballistics for Long Range Shooting") but will repeat it here: It seems that G7 is a better model for VLD/boat-tail bullets because there is less variation in BC at different velocities. However, after using both G1 and G7 BCs into two different ballistic programs (JBM and Ballistic on my iPod Touch), I see about 2-3" variation at 1000 yards for my typical .308 Win load. So maybe it doesn't matter so much. What really has mattered for me has been Litz' more accurate BCs. For example, the Nosler 165gr. 30-cal. Accubond was tested by him @ a G7 BC of .228 (G1 BC of .454) where Nosler publishes a G1 BC of .475 (G7 BC .238). That's a difference of 10" @ 1000 yards.

Re: Book Review - Applied Ballistics For Long Range Shooting By Gustavo F. Ruiz

If you are interested in knowing what is really going on in long range shooting then you must buy this book. I have been in the firearms business for over 30 years until I retired. This is by far the clearest discussion on this subject. This is written for the average person without a strong math background and the author has done a awesome job of dealing with complex subjects. I have read and studied most of the major works on the subject of external ballistics and the math is far beyond what most of us deal with on a day to day basis. This book has the math in the back of the book if you want to use it. However the book is extremely understandable to the average reader. The authors work on G7 behavior on modern bullets is a major step forward in our sport. Buy the book!
