[QUOTE="Bob Wright, post: 2584174, member: 104363"] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.longrangehunting.com/members/rockymtnmt.7999/[/URL] For bullet shape we use ogive "arcs", tangent secant and hybrid, in Bergers world of bullet shapes, as well as other bullets I presume. Parabola shapes are not related to bullet shapes although they look quite similar. Parabolic "groove" in the Hammer, only Steve can answer how the math worked out there. Realistically, these 3 shapes are not related such as "parabolic drag" which seems to be a misdirection in terminology. Below are examples of ogive and parabola shapes. Also where "parabolic trajectory on a chart" is influenced by drag and gravity I didn't hit the whiskey but I stayed at a Holiday Inn once. [/QUOTE]
