Understanding trajectory and bullet design to make accurate hits at any range. 

If you've ever wondered what goes into making that little trajectory chart printed on the back of your ammo box, custom ammo maker and ballistics expert Phil Massaro can help. In The Ballistics Handbook, Massaro breaks down how environmental conditions, trajectory, ballistic coefficient, bullet shape/construction, and barrel length all affect accuracy. The more you understand about these variables, the more confidence you will gain, and that will result in making first-round hits.

• The newest high-performance cartridges
• Ballistic apps and customer scope turrets
• The latest trajectory and wind drift chartsModern developments in bullet technology have significantly enahanced performance for hunters, competitors and long-range shooters. The Ballistics Handbook will help you get all the accuracy that you and your rifle are capable of.
