[QUOTE="Juergen, post: 2171985, member: 118398"] I am sailing and I know that it is quite easy to read the wind at sea. At sea the wind is quite consistent. And I have a Kestrel wind meter. But in the nature the orography is so different that it is sometimes impossible to estimate the wind 200 yards away. I think my biggest problem will be to stabilize lead free bullets. I made some calculations with cutting edge bullets. Some of them are 1.5 inch long and they need a twist rate of 1 : 7" to stabilize. What do you think about 1 : 7" ? And the barrel length: 24 inch or 26 inch ? Some people say 26 inch is not so precise as 24 inch, more vibrations. I am not sure if I should believe this. The diameter will be 0,75 inch. They call it "semi-weight". [/QUOTE]
