[QUOTE="BryanLitz, post: 1139319, member: 7848"] ejg, The effects of riflings on BC has been tested and published in 'Modern Advancements in Long Range Shooting - Volume 1': [url]https://store.appliedballisticsllc.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=0004[/url] Basically, there's little difference in BC for the different riflings until the bullet slows to around transonic speed. After that things get complicated and riflings can matter. The book elaborates a great deal more with modeling and live fire experiments. Thanks to everyone for the suggestions, there's a lot of great ideas for experiments. I'm starting to get the same feeling; that external ballistics and our ability to calculate accurate trajectories is pretty well locked down and there are now other bigger fish to fry! I'll continue publishing and training in my field, but it may be time to start looking into other realms as well. Looking forward to continuing in this field and staying on track with input from the community. -Bryan [/QUOTE]
