Ballistics questions
Posted on 7/23/13 at 1:36 pm

Anyone have any good book/website recommendations that get into the details of ballistics and reloading?
I'm not talking the actual process of reloading, but more along the lines of performance of the round, how to adjust it, how to check pressures and so on.
Basically I want to learn the exact physics behind a bullet and how each factor translates to accuracy if that makes sense.

I have one in my library on rifle ballistics
Will take a photo when I get home after banging my hot younger gf
ETA, aforementioned gf is at home cooking salmon. I am not currently banging.
Just clarifying that I will post a pic after I get home and after banging her.

It's actually funny that I really do have a 20 minute video called "how bullets work." It doesn't describe internal pressures and headspace and such but I go on quite a long tangent about bullets...
It was in my earlier days when I thought people liked watching long NutNfancy-type videos. But since then I have gone for more focused, shorter ones.
But you can still watch that video if you want because I have some good info...
(EDIT: or TL;DW. Whatever you wish)

Many reloading books out there as well as reloading forums with load data.
Your best bet for superior accuracy is to test a few different bullets, powder types, powder charges, seating depth for one rifle. Each rifle, each caliber, each difference in the load will change accuracy/groupings and ultimately you will need to fine tune a load for your rifle.
Get a good chrony, a good spotting scope, and plan to shoot many different loads through your rifle to find the best combination of bullet, primer, powder type, powder charge, and bullet seating depth.
It will be very time consuming but also very rewarding and fun.

I figured hands on would be the best way. Ill probably start off with the Hornaday stuff for now, then start reloading down the road
