Ballistic Coefficient Calculator
Ballistic coefficient describes how well a projectile holds its speed against air resistance, and you can measure it yourself with two chronograph readings taken a known distance apart. Enter the near and far velocities and the gap between them and this solves for the BC, which you can then carry into the trajectory and wind tools.
