[QUOTE="Doom2, post: 2825449, member: 108323"] There are no degree programs in Ballistics. A ballistician is someone who works in the field of ballistics. External Ballistics is studied in physics, aeronautical engineering, and mechanical engineering. Internal Ballistics is more in the realm of Chemist and Chemical Engineers. Bryan Litz is an aeronautical engineer. Jeff Siewert who was on Hornady's Podcast recently has a degree in physics if I remember correctly. Not sure about Don Miller. The Miller equation is conservative by design and is an empirical formula based on some basic physics. The intent of the equation is to provide the rifle twist rate needed to provide bullet stability not the stability of the bullet. If you are interested this is a link to his paper: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.jbmballistics.com/ballistics/bibliography/articles/miller_stability_1.pdf[/URL] [/QUOTE]
