Lets discuss Rifle Accuracy
What are your rifle accuracy demands? (And yes we can split hairs all day concerning hunting, tactical use and bench rest.)
What is the furthest shot you might attempt hunting? What shooting positions are you most comfortable in? Is your rifle accurized? Do you hand load? Do you know how to measure the bullet ogive ? Do you know what the first focal plane refers to?
Most folks never heard of internal, external and terminal ballistics. A good definition
here:
1. Interior ballistics is the branch of the science that deals with the projectile while it is still in the gun.
2. Transitional ballistics is the branch of the science that deals with the motion of the projectile from the time it leaves the muzzle until the only forces acting upon it are due to exterior ballistics.
3. Exterior ballistics is the branch of the science that deals with the projectile after it clears the muzzle and throughout its time of flight.
4. Terminal ballistics is that branch of the science that deals with the impact, and force imparted on the target.
(Transitional ballistics IMO is external ballistics. )
How far down this rabbit hole do you want to go?
