Ballistic Coefficient Formula
Formula
BC = m / (C_d × A)
Where:
- • BC = ballistic coefficient (kg/m²)
- • m = projectile mass (kg)
- • C_d = drag coefficient
- • A = cross-sectional area (m²)
Higher BC = less drag, better range
Typical Values
- • Rifle bullet: 0.2-0.6
- • Handgun bullet: 0.1-0.3
- • Arrow: 0.01-0.05
- • Sphere: ~0.1-0.5
