54 Caliber Velocity Test

[sonny from st. louis]

I went to the range today and fired a 10 shot velocity test with my 54 caliber cap lock rifle. I am pleased with the results and especially with a very low standard deviation (S.D.) of 9 ft/sec. I am very confident with the average instrumental velocity @ 16 feet and muzzle velocity. My next step is to calculate a bullet trace using the Oehler Ballistic Explorer program. I going to use the Gs drag function for a spherical projectile.
