[QUOTE="rscott5028, post: 448122, member: 24624"] Also, I beleive most of the external ballistics programs ask for the name/type/weight of the bullet. But, other than the environmental conditions the trajectory curve comes down to velocity and BC. ..where BC comes down to the shape of the bullet. Also, Newton figured out that 2 objects of radically different weight fall at the same 9.80 meters per second squared. Regardless of how far or fast two bullets travel, if they are fired at the same time with the muzzles parallel to the ground, the bulltes will hit the ground at the same time. Therefore, weight doesn't do anything for/to trajectory except as to change the shape of the projectile and the shape has everything to do with BC and trajectory. Again, that's just my understanding as layman. thanks Richard [/QUOTE]
