Lapua Ballistics offers you the opportunity to compare data for three different cartridges or bullets in the ballistic calculator.
You can use comparison data for your cartridges or bullets, for example to compare trajectories or impact velocity and / or impact energy in different hunting situations. You can also use the cartridge/projectile comparison to determine the best Point-blank Range (PBR) and to estimate stability. In addition, you can share the picture and information via email or other possible communication applications on your phone.
You can easily compare data in the Ballistics app for the following ballistics calculation features:
– Elevation
– Windage
– Velocity
– Energy
– Point-blank Range
– Trajectory
– Velocity / distance
– Energy / distance
– Stability estimation
All these features are accessible in the lower views of the Calculator mode in the Ballistics app. In the comparison created, you can clearly see the differences between the 3 bullets / cartridges you have chosen in the same graphic.
Step 1. Go to cartridge settings and set eg. muzzle velocity (Sight-In V0 value) and other basic values for your cartridge/bullet of choice. (Tap image to expand.)
Steps 2 and 3. Open the Calculator and swipe to the third lower view and tap to expand. Choose the cartridges / bullets you want to compare. (Tap image to expand.)
Step 4. Swipe right in the expanded view to quickly and easily view the comparison data separated by different colors. (Tap image to expand.)
| You can also pick just one cartridge / bullet and compare different muzzle velocities, weather conditions and twist rates for that cartridge by copying it in the Manage Rifle/ Cartridge Data menu and changing the desired settings for the copied items.Next time, we’ll look at how to export trajectory tables to excel! |
