Ep. 034 - Bullet Drag & Ballistic Coefficient

On this episode, Seth is joined by Senior Ballistician, Jayden Quinlan. The first topic they cover is bullet drag and they take a brief look at the history of measuring it and then they look at the actual equation that defines bullet drag. They then dive into ballistic coefficient and the equation that measures it with some examples. Cd vs Mach curves are then discussed including what they look like and how they can give you better solutions when compared to a ballistic coefficient. This podcast is deep, dense, and a little longer than usual. It will help if you can watch this one, so check it out on our YouTube channel. We hope you enjoy.
