Down Range Data by William T. Falin Jr.

Down Range Data by William T. Falin Jr.. A facinating study of shooting black powder cartridge rifles to extreme long ranges. This book includes ballistic tables for 2000+ yards using lead bullets and black powder velocities. Ballistic tables created from actual test firing of 40, 45 and 50 caliber Sharps rifles. Ballistcs were derived from actual live fire testing not from computer programs which are not accurate for the transonic velocities these type of firearms operate in. Chapters on History, bullets, twist rates, instructions for using vernier sights and smokeless versus black powder. 8 1/2"x11" soft bound 40+ b&w photos.
