[QUOTE="rcoody, post: 1298507, member: 91090"] A PhD in physics might be a good start The basic calculations are pretty easy. It is when you throw in aerodynamic drag calculations for your bullet when it really starts to get interesting. Then density altitude, wind drift, decreasing velocity, etc All the ballistic calculators really are just mathematical models and not individual calculations. That is why each needs to be tweaked for your specific rifle, bullet, velocity, environment Extremely complicated [/QUOTE]
