Bullet will not speed up after it leaves the barrel. Bullets with a higher ballistic coefficient will not slow down as quickly which is why match ammo may be faster then non match ammo, even though they started off slower, at long distances.
The bullet is travelling slower while in the barrel than when it leaves the muzzle , due to friction . Therefore , the bullet increases in velocity upon exit . But once it leaves the muzzle , drag begins to slow the bullet from the nanosecond it leaves the muzzle . The only projectile I've ever heard of that increases in velocity upon exiting the muzzle is the failed Gyrojet cartrige .
As somebody that reloads ammunition for long range precision shooting I can confidently say that whoever made this video has absolutely no clue what they are talking about.
Wonder where he got his information. He gave more misinformation than accurate. The .224 Valerie is a Fed. Caliber by the way and was designed for long range target shooting 1000 + yds, but would be an excellent caliber for small to med size varmints. Two of the most defining factors in calculating ballistic coefficient within specified calibers is sectional density and bullet ogive or curvature shape. Please see other means on all the info in this video as most is incorrect. While there's many great and accurate information channels on this and other shooting and ballistic properties on You Tube I recommend checking Gun blue 490 channel. He has informative videos covering all aspects of shooting and has forgot more on this than most know.
"The match grade rounds speed up" no, that's incorrect, they merely retain kintetic energy at distance moreso than a lighter bullet, thus maintaining supersonic velocities for a longer period of time. Also, match grade ammo IS mass produced, it just has stricter quality assurance. There are a lot of things wrong in this video.
Technically a round will slightly speed up after leaving the barrel until the atmospheric pressure behind the round equalises with the surrounding atmosphere. In practise, this happens within milliseconds of leaving the barrel. That said, I haven't watched the video yet to see just inaccurate it is.
Holding your breath can decrease accuracy. It's best to shoot at your natural respiratory pause at the end of your exhale. The pause is usually 2-3 seconds long and can be extended but must not exceed 8-10 seconds.
Small detail to mention because the distance that a shot has to be taken for it to take effect. What I'm talking about is the coriolis effect which in layman's term means if the shot is far enough you will need to start to account for the rotation of the earth as a factor in the accuracy of your shot. This distance is at about the half a mile(.8 kilometers/1000 yards) to start taking effect.
The coriolis effect takes effect immediately after being fired, but is negligible at close range, or when firing to the East or West. It has the most significant effect when fired towards the Equator along a North/South vector.
The most important thing I have found in making accurate ammunition is ensuring every bullet is as close to the same as possible! Match grade projectiles should the exact same weight and dimensions, the powder load should be the same as well. Exactly the same kind of powder and the same amount of it. Even the brass casing holding everything together has to be as close to the same. Making everything is the exact same everytime will ensure your bullets behave the same way in flight every time so you can accurately calculate windage, drop, humidity and even the rotation of the earth depending on the range you are shooting at.
I ve heard of accurate ammo , inherently accurate calibers and I won't argue that. I agree, keeping everything consistent to minimize variations in mv and external ballistics is vital but is necessary to conform loads to the rifle or more correctly the chamber, throat and barrel being fired from. I mostly think of ammunition as precise and consistent and the rifle accurate. It helps to rest, aim and shoot correctly and often. Knowing what it takes is easy. Combining all three as one is how you get the following. There's a video posted by Erik Cortina , pro shooter showing a 5 shoot 1.3 inch group at 1000 yds. That is an amazingly small group but the first 4 were .3 inch. He pulled if that's what ya wanna call it the 5 th 1 inch. Lol. Even more incredible is how consistent his velocities are and standard deviation he has attained. You bet I m jealous and a student.
Precision over long distances has to the the Coriolis effect - aka the earths rotation around it's own axis - into account. Small things tend to mater when precision maters.
Likely their rifles would have been compensated for it upon arrival in the area. After transport rifles r generally sighted in because of transport jostling usually but it would also get this effect accounted for. Also at 1k yards it doesnt really matter 3 inches on a human sized target. Most shooters dont really consider for this effect or have a cheat sheet they used for the area when the arrived likely before they arrived at combat zone.

@@kylealexander7024 I am 90% sure the effect works differently depending on what cardinal direction you fire towards. This is not something you can "compensate" for, as the effect is not static.
Match ammo DOES NOT gain speed after leaving the muzzle, it simply doesn't lose velocity as fast due to it's increased mass and boattail design. A military hollow point is not designed to expand. The hollow point is a byproduct of the manufacturing process. Having the bullet weight to the rear DOES NOT make less likely to tumble. It actually increases the likelihood. Don't know who your advisor was on this video was, but they or you apparently don't have a clue about exterior ballistic performance.
I have many times found an informational channel that I liked, they cover things I don't know much about and I like to learn. Then they cover something I know quite a lot about and place everything I have ever heard from them into question. As a veteran Infantryman I learned a bit about some weapon systems. I shot more in my youth than in the military and now in my later years I know far more about these weapon systems. My main hobby is ammunition development, I make, shoot, test then change variables in my loadings. This is what I learn about and do regularly. I say this to assure you that I am certain that you got virtually everything in this video wrong. Irresponsibly, recklessly wrong. Even basic physics that require zero knowledge of fire arms are laughably wrong. Then again you have gotten almost all gun topics so wrong that now I watch your show occasionally for a good laugh and see no further value in it.
I like how they completely omit one of the most important aspects of bullet weight and propellant loading, matching the rifles barrel harmonics. When you fire a rifle the shock of firing causes the barrel to 'walk' in its bedding(barrel supports). By keeping meticulous record of loads, weights, environmentals, and accuracy (where you aim vs where the round lands), you can build up a statistical pattern of where the next bullet will land based on the current state of the weapon. This is how they can thread rounds through the same hole at 1200yds.
Lol, match grade ammo doesn't speed up after it leaves the barrel. Match grade ammo just had better ballistic coefficients so will perform differently.
Everything great on this video like always, but a small tip. You cannot say that the bullets fall faster because of their weight, Gravity pull down all objects at the same speed no matter their weight or size. What is really true is that a bullet could fall later or earlier depending on his aerodynamics 😊
I could not bear to watch any more when I heard "The primer is the main ignition method in the BULLET...." Please stop calling cartridges "bullets", like calling civilian semi-automatic firearms "assault weapons".
Sort of like the AR video it looks like you guys did some googling, but this really needs a bit more research Especially with the advent of 408, 6.5, and 338 a lot of what your saying isn't exactly accurate. You're about 75% the way there.
I agree. There was some stuff that they got. But you could tell actual experience and first person knowledge was lacking still. Seems like they checked some reloading forums and stuff. Hahaha.
The expansion of the bullet only allows the projectile to dump more of it's energy more quickly. The act of expansion itself isn't more devastating than the power of the round, it just makes the power of the round be delivered more efficiently.
When I was in the ROTC (Navy) rifle team we used air rifles that required match-grade pellets (or BB's) in order to maintain accurate groupings. We also used match grade .22 rounds that were custom polished/balanced in a local machine shop to within 0.0003 grams. Powder was matched the same way down to a single grain.
Lol. The bullet drifts and drops and you adjust for windage and elevation aiming to compensate. I m book man. I know the terms , comparisons and capabilities. Everything but how to do it. 😁
Having reloaded for almost 40-years, and working up a number of 'custom loads', I can easily say that this video is generally 'pre-school' information, and there are whole LIBRARIES of research information on the 'real facts', much of which contradicts the others...but there are 'basics', most of which aren't covered here...such as the requirement for hyper-velocity (over 4,000-fps), FMJ Boattails (never have seen a 2,000 m or longer range 'hollow point'), and projectile weights OVER 162-grains, for 'entry level' 1,000 m + shots. Other key components are down-angle shot calculations, Coriolis Effect, varying effects of wind vs range, etc. (LOT of math in making ultra-distance shots). While you may get 'lucky' with an 800-m engagement using a 7.62 x 51 round...you are almost 'out of range' by 900-1000-m with that caliber. Thus, enters the 'big rounds' (.50-BMG, .338 Lapua, etc.)...high accuracy at long range equals BIG DOLLARS, too! From 'custom barrels' to slugging the barrel for size, custom forming bullets to meet your barrel's true dimensions, etc. Again, this is a VERY 'intro level' video...and there are a LOT of 'general errors' in it, to start with.
1:41 All rounds (bullets) regardless of weight fall to the ground at the same rate when fired horizontally. In fact, they will hit the ground at the same moment a ball dropped from the same height next to the gun will, given that it's dropped the moment the bullet leaves the barrel.
Hollow points for long range shooting aren't expansive. The tips are slightly hollow to create a uniformity in the tip shape between cartridges in order to improve accuracy. This is different than the way a traditional expanding bullet is designed.
A lot of problems with this. I'll just choose one. Open tip match bullets and hollow point bullets are different things. Snipers (and precisions shooters in general) tend to use the former, not the latter. Both have an open tip. Hollow points have that open tip as a part of their design to expand on impact. The video was right about that. However....precision shooters rarely ever use hollow points. The video is confusing that with them using open tip match bullets. Open tip match bullets have an open tip simply as the result of a more consistent precision jacketing process that goes from back to front (which is why the open tip happens, that's where the jacket is coming together). The advantage is the more precision jacketing process making a more uniform bullet, not the open tip itself. And that open tip is NOT designed for expansion upon impact. In fact most precision open tip bullets are specifically sold with a warning that they do not expand, in case hunters (which are often required to use expanding ammo) buy them on accident thinking they're expanding hollow point bullets.
1:52 Velocity has absolutely no effect on bullet drop. As soon as the bullet leaves the barrel it starts dropping to the ground at 9.8ms2 due to gravity, as stated. However, horizontal speed of an object doesn't change that constant. The only difference velocity makes is how far the bullet travels before it hits the ground.
The faster the bullet, the less time it spends in the air before hitting the target. This means gravity is acting on the bullet for a shorter amount of time. Drop = 1/2 * 32.2 ft/sec^2 * time^2 It's not a linear relationship, the bullet drop is proportional to the square of the travel time.
@@cthulhu626 I have seen several humans dead or dying in multiple ways. Please remove the "*grabs ice pick" from your sentence please. It will make living slightly more bearable thank you.
The TLDR of it all is this. Snipers use Match Grade and sometimes even hand loaded ammunition. They want consistency in performance for more predictability, reducing the inherent mechanical errors. In more detail... (As there are some issues with the info in the video) Match Grade ammo is made in smaller quantities on dedicated lines so that more strict manufacturing tolerances can be maintained. Handloading is a more personalized version of this, where small batches are made for a specific rifle only, using hand operated tooling. A well made hand load, developed through testing of several tweaked loadings to find the best performing one in a given rifle, typically is the most accurate option. The goal is consistency. You want each round/cartridge to perform as close as possible the every other round. The more consistent the variables, the less inherent deviation is built into the system from a mechanical standpoint. Even the best rifle and ammo combo will exhibit deviation in projectile impact point downrange, even when held motionless in a test rig. Grains as a unit of measure are still commonly used in ammunition, though SI units (metric) is common in countries that use that system as standard for all things. A grain is a measure of weight and is typically used to describe both the weight of the projectile (bullet) and the propellant (powder) charge within the case. They are not the same, but are linked, as to maintain safe operating pressures. Increased bullet weight typically means less propellant, to prevent a spike in pressure that can damage or dangerously destroy a firearm. It's down to inertia, as a heavier bullet accelerates slower and allows pressures to build behind it. All acceleration of the bullet happens inside the barrel, after that it is working with only what it had when it left the barrel, it is unpowered, and that is part of the definition of a ballistic body, which is why calculating bullet flight is called ballistics. Heavier bullets leave the same barrel at a slower speed than lower weight bullets do. (If the pressures in the barrel are roughly the same) Heavier bullets typically have increased ballistic coefficients, which means that the increased aerodynamic performance aids the bullet performance even if it is slower. The bullet slows down less from drag, and it is pushed off course less from the wind. The lower drag is why a high BC bullet is going faster at some distance down range than a bullet that has lower BC even if it started off faster from the barrel. Hollow point bullets used in precision ammo typically isn't designed with the increased lethality as a goal. The accuracy enhancing features are the goal, and a controlled expansion for increased lethality has design features that are typically harder to maintain with the same consistency. They may look similar, but two identical weight HP bullets, one for hunting and the other accuracy will have much different internal design characteristics. That said, precision focused HP bullets tend to be more fragile, so they often break apart more easily in a target, and that does often improve their lethality over bullets that do not, like FMJ. Though typically not as much as bullets designed to expand in a controlled manner.
Snipers also have to take into account the direction of their shot. At longer ranges the earth's spin comes into play. It is called the coriolis effect.
It REALLY does help that Black Powder isn't used anymore. Being surrounded by a massive cloud of smoke every time you fire really isn't good for keeping your position hidden!
Making a primer more sensitive does nothing to effect it's ignition characteristics. A gun with a light hammer or striker hit would only have reliability of actually firing improved by a thinner back primer.
Barrel twist/ riflings will have a huge effect on the projectile to match that with what ammo runs best plus barrel length. I've shot ammo that's super accurate in one gun but is inches or feet off in another of the same caliber.
The USMC has a section devoted to serving Marine Scout Snipers. They manufacture/assemble match grade rifles and ammunition. The ammunition is custom tuned to an individual rifle and the ammo is boxed up and marked for that specific rifle. A very intricate process that insures maximum effective accuracy of the system.
@r2 308 is TRASH!!!!!! It's so outdated that it's not even funny. I rather shoot a 6.8 SPC rather then a 308. Now 338 LM does shoot very flat, but unless you reload you are going to be spending tons of money on factory 338 LM. I reload 6.5 creedmor and can hit 1300 easy with about a 1.5 MOA at that.
"match grade" in this video is a bit misleading. All match grade means is they are as consistent as physically possible in all aspects as a manufacturer can possibly make at a time. That's all it is, the rest is tailoring a round to a specific firearm. Also, there are no service rifle rounds that aren't "boat tailed" period. it's been a thing since just after WW2
Hollow points aren't used on the battlefield by the military; FMJs are used to comply with the Geneva Conventions. They are quite common in civilian and law enforcement rounds.
You have know clue what you're talking about, and now the whole world knows. You could have avoided embarrassing yourself by taking a couple minutes to check your ”facts."
Given the never ending assault on the 2nd Amendment gun people like myself develop an intense hatred of the dissemination of incorrect, misleading, or too broadly generalized information as they pertain to firearms and this one hits all three of them. External ballistics , particularly at extreme distance, is a very complicated matter with so many variables you are not going to get any appreciable comprehension from a 10 minute youtube video, Especially if the person giving such infomation do not themselves have significantly better than lay knowledge of the matter. Stop making these gun ones.
From a strictly physics standpoint I know why you’d cringe hearing that. However, heavier for caliber bullets do fly longer so it is correct. Though the weight of the bullet isn’t the reason. Old timers used to just say “use a heavier bullet to shoot longer ranges”. They didn’t realize that all other things being equal (caliber, material, construction, ogive, boat tail,) the heavier bullet will have better ballistic coefficient and will fly further. This is actually because it’s longer. Quite a bit of the info in this video seems to have been gleaned from forums where people used terms known to shooters but not by those who don’t. I’m a long range precision shooter and make a lot of my own ammo.
Another thing that wasn't mentioned... perhaps counted as drift is taking account for the Coriolis effect, which has an impact over these multi km distances and shooting in with a component of north or south..
No, bullets specifically designed to expand are banned by the Hague Convention. Bullets, like the Sierra Match Kings, are designed and marketed to be precision projectiles, and the hollow point increases their bc. The fact that the smk’s violently expand on impact is a “happy accident”.
Snipers also have to worry about the Coriolis effect, air pressure changes at varying distances along the flight path, humidity..... they're insane. Real world snipers are ridiculously good.
The propellant also has a huge effect on the speed of the bullet - and even the shape of the grains in that propellant. Imagine all those shapes you see on the pasta shelves. They've all been tried as a cross-section for the grains of propellant. More surface area = bigger bang. Practice rounds have large grains, which don't explode as powerfully, which means the bullets don't go through the walls as easily.
You can have the top of the line engineered round. The most expensive engineered rifle. The most expensive rifle scope in the market but non of these matter if the shooter doesn't know how to gather data and when to squeeze the trigger.

I've never heard it being called "drift and drop" I always knew it as windage and elevation
That's what I was taught.
Lol. The bullet drifts and drops and you adjust for windage and elevation aiming to compensate.

Having reloaded for almost 40-years, and working up a number of 'custom loads', I can easily say that this video is generally 'pre-school' information, and there are whole LIBRARIES of research information on the 'real facts', much of which contradicts the others...but there are 'basics', most of which aren't covered here...such as the requirement for hyper-velocity (over 4,000-fps), FMJ Boattails (never have seen a 2,000 m or longer range 'hollow point'), and projectile weights OVER 162-grains, for 'entry level' 1,000 m + shots. Other key components are down-angle shot calculations, Coriolis Effect, varying effects of wind vs range, etc. (LOT of math in making ultra-distance shots). While you may get 'lucky' with an 800-m engagement using a 7.62 x 51 round...you are almost 'out of range' by 900-1000-m with that caliber. Thus, enters the 'big rounds' (.50-BMG, .338 Lapua, etc.)...high accuracy at long range equals BIG DOLLARS, too! From 'custom barrels' to slugging the barrel for size, custom forming bullets to meet your barrel's true dimensions, etc.
Again, this is a VERY 'intro level' video...and there are a LOT of 'general errors' in it, to start with.
I've seen 175gr boat tail match ammo for 7.62 NATO, and even heavier 300 Win mag.

All rounds (bullets) regardless of weight fall to the ground at the same rate when fired horizontally. In fact, they will hit the ground at the same moment a ball dropped from the same height next to the gun will, given that it's dropped the moment the bullet leaves the barrel.

Just a note to the use of hollow point, they have been forbidden seance 1899, the use of them is categorized as a war crime
Hollow points for long range shooting aren't expansive. The tips are slightly hollow to create a uniformity in the tip shape between cartridges in order to improve accuracy. This is different than the way a traditional expanding bullet is designed.

Same
You should do a video on different types of ammunition, such as armor piercing, tracer, etc...
A lot of problems with this. I'll just choose one.
Open tip match bullets and hollow point bullets are different things. Snipers (and precisions shooters in general) tend to use the former, not the latter.
Both have an open tip. Hollow points have that open tip as a part of their design to expand on impact. The video was right about that. However....precision shooters rarely ever use hollow points. The video is confusing that with them using open tip match bullets.
Open tip match bullets have an open tip simply as the result of a more consistent precision jacketing process that goes from back to front (which is why the open tip happens, that's where the jacket is coming together). The advantage is the more precision jacketing process making a more uniform bullet, not the open tip itself. And that open tip is NOT designed for expansion upon impact. In fact most precision open tip bullets are specifically sold with a warning that they do not expand, in case hunters (which are often required to use expanding ammo) buy them on accident thinking they're expanding hollow point bullets.

The one guy who made the 3500 meter shot irl: haha snipe 10 miles go brrrr
1:52 Velocity has absolutely no effect on bullet drop. As soon as the bullet leaves the barrel it starts dropping to the ground at 9.8ms2 due to gravity, as stated. However, horizontal speed of an object doesn't change that constant. The only difference velocity makes is how far the bullet travels before it hits the ground.
The faster the bullet, the less time it spends in the air before hitting the target. This means gravity is acting on the bullet for a shorter amount of time. Drop = 1/2 * 32.2 ft/sec^2 * time^2
It's not a linear relationship, the bullet drop is proportional to the square of the travel time.

The TLDR of it all is this. Snipers use Match Grade and sometimes even hand loaded ammunition. They want consistency in performance for more predictability, reducing the inherent mechanical errors.
In more detail... (As there are some issues with the info in the video)
Match Grade ammo is made in smaller quantities on dedicated lines so that more strict manufacturing tolerances can be maintained. Handloading is a more personalized version of this, where small batches are made for a specific rifle only, using hand operated tooling. A well made hand load, developed through testing of several tweaked loadings to find the best performing one in a given rifle, typically is the most accurate option.
The goal is consistency. You want each round/cartridge to perform as close as possible the every other round. The more consistent the variables, the less inherent deviation is built into the system from a mechanical standpoint. Even the best rifle and ammo combo will exhibit deviation in projectile impact point downrange, even when held motionless in a test rig.
Grains as a unit of measure are still commonly used in ammunition, though SI units (metric) is common in countries that use that system as standard for all things.
A grain is a measure of weight and is typically used to describe both the weight of the projectile (bullet) and the propellant (powder) charge within the case. They are not the same, but are linked, as to maintain safe operating pressures. Increased bullet weight typically means less propellant, to prevent a spike in pressure that can damage or dangerously destroy a firearm. It's down to inertia, as a heavier bullet accelerates slower and allows pressures to build behind it. All acceleration of the bullet happens inside the barrel, after that it is working with only what it had when it left the barrel, it is unpowered, and that is part of the definition of a ballistic body, which is why calculating bullet flight is called ballistics.
Heavier bullets leave the same barrel at a slower speed than lower weight bullets do. (If the pressures in the barrel are roughly the same) Heavier bullets typically have increased ballistic coefficients, which means that the increased aerodynamic performance aids the bullet performance even if it is slower. The bullet slows down less from drag, and it is pushed off course less from the wind. The lower drag is why a high BC bullet is going faster at some distance down range than a bullet that has lower BC even if it started off faster from the barrel.
Hollow point bullets used in precision ammo typically isn't designed with the increased lethality as a goal. The accuracy enhancing features are the goal, and a controlled expansion for increased lethality has design features that are typically harder to maintain with the same consistency. They may look similar, but two identical weight HP bullets, one for hunting and the other accuracy will have much different internal design characteristics. That said, precision focused HP bullets tend to be more fragile, so they often break apart more easily in a target, and that does often improve their lethality over bullets that do not, like FMJ. Though typically not as much as bullets designed to expand in a controlled manner.
No you don’t need a Doctor, your mans already has X’s on his eyes 🙁🙁
There are even more factors than just gravity and wind... There is temperature, the coriolis effect and rain aswell
Snipers also have to take into account the direction of their shot. At longer ranges the earth's spin comes into play. It is called the coriolis effect.
It’s 3000m mate not going from one continent to another 🤦♂️
It REALLY does help that Black Powder isn't used anymore. Being surrounded by a massive cloud of smoke every time you fire really isn't good for keeping your position hidden!
Making a primer more sensitive does nothing to effect it's ignition characteristics. A gun with a light hammer or striker hit would only have reliability of actually firing improved by a thinner back primer.
Barrel twist/ riflings will have a huge effect on the projectile to match that with what ammo runs best plus barrel length. I've shot ammo that's super accurate in one gun but is inches or feet off in another of the same caliber.
this is the most inaccurate video ive ever seen
It's like they didn't actually do research besides read numbers on Wikipedia
Yup
They’ve made worse
The USMC has a section devoted to serving Marine Scout Snipers. They manufacture/assemble match grade rifles and ammunition. The ammunition is custom tuned to an individual rifle and the ammo is boxed up and marked for that specific rifle. A very intricate process that insures maximum effective accuracy of the system.
What do snipers feel ?
The recoil.

6.5 creedmore is my go to rifle round for long distance. I love my AR 6.5 creedmore.
@r2 308 is TRASH!!!!!! It's so outdated that it's not even funny. I rather shoot a 6.8 SPC rather then a 308.
Now 338 LM does shoot very flat, but unless you reload you are going to be spending tons of money on factory 338 LM. I reload 6.5 creedmor and can hit 1300 easy with about a 1.5 MOA at that.

Best video that you have posted
"match grade" in this video is a bit misleading. All match grade means is they are as consistent as physically possible in all aspects as a manufacturer can possibly make at a time. That's all it is, the rest is tailoring a round to a specific firearm. Also, there are no service rifle rounds that aren't "boat tailed" period. it's been a thing since just after WW2

The quiet kid: hmmm interesting.....
Hollow points aren't used on the battlefield by the military; FMJs are used to comply with the Geneva Conventions. They are quite common in civilian and law enforcement rounds.
I was going to ask why nobody was talking about how they said that snipers use hollow points. Can't really do that. International law and all lol

At very long range you even have to consider the coriolis effect, in addition to what you mentioned.
Given the never ending assault on the 2nd Amendment gun people like myself develop an intense hatred of the dissemination of incorrect, misleading, or too broadly generalized information as they pertain to firearms and this one hits all three of them. External ballistics , particularly at extreme distance, is a very complicated matter with so many variables you are not going to get any appreciable comprehension from a 10 minute youtube video, Especially if the person giving such infomation do not themselves have significantly better than lay knowledge of the matter. Stop making these gun ones.

Top shelf graphics! No expense must of been spared
1:50 my mans did you really just say the bullet’s weight is a factor in how long it takes gravity to bring it down?
From a strictly physics standpoint I know why you’d cringe hearing that. However, heavier for caliber bullets do fly longer so it is correct. Though the weight of the bullet isn’t the reason. Old timers used to just say “use a heavier bullet to shoot longer ranges”.
They didn’t realize that all other things being equal (caliber, material, construction, ogive, boat tail,) the heavier bullet will have better ballistic coefficient and will fly further. This is actually because it’s longer. Quite a bit of the info in this video seems to have been gleaned from forums where people used terms known to shooters but not by those who don’t.
I’m a long range precision shooter and make a lot of my own ammo.
@@Heywoodthepeckerwood I see, that makes sense, thanks
Another thing that wasn't mentioned... perhaps counted as drift is taking account for the Coriolis effect, which has an impact over these multi km distances and shooting in with a component of north or south..
This is why I always make sure to tip my hitman.. I love that guy
I was here when yall only had 2 mil subs. I'm happy to see you guys grow like this!
aren't hollow points banned by the geneva convention
Yes, they are. Because they cause too much unjust suffering
No, bullets specifically designed to expand are banned by the Hague Convention. Bullets, like the Sierra Match Kings, are designed and marketed to be precision projectiles, and the hollow point increases their bc. The fact that the smk’s violently expand on impact is a “happy accident”.
Snipers also have to worry about the Coriolis effect, air pressure changes at varying distances along the flight path, humidity..... they're insane. Real world snipers are ridiculously good.
Rounds can not accelerate after leaving the barrel.
If you shoot the bullet with a faster one the energy will definitely transfer over and speed up the bullet
The propellant also has a huge effect on the speed of the bullet - and even the shape of the grains in that propellant. Imagine all those shapes you see on the pasta shelves. They've all been tried as a cross-section for the grains of propellant. More surface area = bigger bang. Practice rounds have large grains, which don't explode as powerfully, which means the bullets don't go through the walls as easily.
Fact Snipers is campers.
