[QUOTE="groper, post: 417110, member: 12550"] 1. im fine with another thread, until then it stays here. 2. when its windy, my bullets get pushed. When it rains, my *** gets wet. I dont understand what your saying here? The wind imparts a vector on your flying bullet same as wind imparts a vector on my aircraft when i travel from one airfield to the next. gravity imparts a vector on it in the same way also. There are 3 parts to these vectors... direction, force, and time. When i say time, this is the amount of time the force is applied. so in the case of windage the time the bullet spends in horizontally moving air not including any time of its journey spent in still air. With gravity, its the entire time of flight obviously. 3. What is time lag? ill take a guess and say that perhaps you are referring to INERTIA? In that, it takes more force to accelerate a heavier bullet than a lighter one, everything else being equal. Thus a heavier bullet drifts less in the wind. i totally agree with this, but heres the thing.... what happens when you have 2 bullets with the same WEIGHT, but one has a much higher BC than the other? Which one drifts more or less and why? Obviously, it has to do with the form of the bullet not just its mass. I still dont see your point with regard to time lag??? [/QUOTE]
