In ballistics, the ballistic coefficient (BC, C b) of a body is a measure of its ability to overcome air resistance in flight. [1] It is inversely proportional to the negative acceleration: a high number …

2018年4月5日 · Don't be confused the next time you hear "ballistic coefficient" tossed around by long-range shooters. We'll cover why it's one of the most important numbers if you want to …

In ballistics, the ballistic coefficient (BC) of a bullet is a measure of its ability to overcome air resistance in flight. A high BC means it will slow down less. It will have more of its speed left …

2023年10月29日 · What Is the Ballistic Coefficient? The ballistic coefficient (BC) is the ability of an object to overcome air resistance in flight. Imagine it like this: you are trying to shoot a bottle …

Ballistic Coefficient (BC) is basically a measure of how streamlined a bullet is; that is, how well it cuts through the air. Mathematically, it is the ratio of a bullet's sectional density to its …

2024年8月12日 · Ballistic coefficient measures a bullet's ability to withstand air resistance in flight. Air resistance reduces the bullet's velocity, increasing bullet drop, and it unpredictably …

BC is a numeric designation for a projectile’s ability to resist air drag. The better it does this, the faster it flies down range, the less it drops, the less it drifts in the wind and the more energy it …

The article describes where the ballistic coefficient came from, how it relates to aerodynamic drag (retardation force) on a bullet, and how it is used to calculate bullet trajectories.

2023年12月20日 · Basics of Projectile Ballistic Coefficient. Stripped bare, BC is a comparative measure of how well a bullet pierces air, or fights the drag set up by its own velocity. For …

Ballistic coefficients of most sporting and target bullets have values less than 1.0, and generally BC values increase as caliber increases. A bullet can have a BC higher than 1.0. For example, …
