ballistic calculator question

[negolien]

Morning All,

So I will be using the Zeiss calculator for my RZ1000 reticule but I have a question. Could someone explain the V1 and V2 portions of the calculator including the distances not sure what that is? [IMG][/IMG]

Does the manual give an explanation?

Manual

Does the manual give an explanation?

HAHA come on now you really think I was smart enough to read the manual?

It's probably calculating the bullet's ballistic coefficient based on the change in velocity at two distances, i.e. Shooting through a chrono at 10' and another at 100' or whatever distances you want. Based on the drop in velocity at know distances the BC can be calculated empirically.

^^^ Velocity1 and Velocity2. FPS at those distances.

Ah gotcha thanks
