[QUOTE="edge, post: 125211, member: 5030"] [ QUOTE ] KirbyYou did not read my post wrong. I base my statement on Physics alone. When a bullet leaves a barrel it drifts at the velocity of the air that it is taveling in. Reguardless of weight, or shape. The distance it drifts is equal to time time velocity (D= T x Vw). The affect that BC has on Drift is olny in how it affects time of flight. If you know of any other lateral forces that act on the bullet during it's flight ( excluding the rotation of the earth, to small to be considred in this case) please explain them to Sir Isaac Newton and me. Anidotal evidence doesn't change the laws of Physics. When you shoot your rifles you only know the velocty of the wind atthe rifle. Who knows what the vlocity is at 100yd or 500yd. It might even change direction along the bullets path. DR B [/ QUOTE ] DR B, If what you say is correct, then those big three masted sailing ships of the past could have gotten by with a single mast and one small sail! Any sailor will tell you that the shape and the angle of attack of the sail to the wind will determine how efficient the ship will be! The sails and their angle are very similar to the shape of the bullet, IMO.....I have a page in to Sir Isaac, but he is not answering [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] edge. [/QUOTE]
