   I put some numbers through GRT for entertainment: 6.5x55 SE with 129gr Interlocks, 20" vs 29" barrel. Max Loads (same charge, barrel length doesn't change the load) 20" 29" 2206H...

   You have three main ways of dealing with shooting at angles: 1. Inputting the angle into a ballistic solver. The most accurate. 2. Rifleman's Rule: line of sight (LOS) distance x Cosine (angle) =...

   ES isn't that useful. It only shows your best and worst shot. SD is better for prediction as it shows how your velocity is spread. The down side is you will need more shots to get a valid SD. For...
