External Ballistics for Rifle Shooting
暫譯: 步槍射擊的外彈道學

External Ballistics for Rifle Shooting is a comprehensive work covering everything from the basics of external ballistics to advanced concepts. The book deals with phenomena such as ballistic coefficients, ballistic computers, gravity, wind drift, Coriolis effect, Eötvös effect, shooting at angles, humidity, muzzle velocity, gyroscopic drift, gyroscopic stability, shooting at moving targets and much more in a language that is easy to understand for the average person. Although dealing with advanced concepts and ranges that primarily concern competition long-range shooters, many aspects and chapters are useful also for hunting purposes.

In addition to purely external ballistic explanations, the book contains sections on the history of rifle bullets, rifle bullet types, how to manage wind reading and wind drift, as well as recommendations about how to achieve precise hand loaded ammunition.

The book is structured so that external ballistic theory can be understood without diving directly into mathematical formulas. The formulae are included at the end of chapters for anyone interested in the math.

This book is ideal for the beginning rifle shooter, as well as the experienced shooter interested in advanced exterior ballistics.
