Modern Advancements in Long Range Shooting Vol. 2
Product ID: 58804267
Volume 2 of Modern Advancements in Long Range Shooting contains all new content on the research being done by Applied Ballistics. Author Bryan Litz along with contributing authors Nick Vitalbo and Cal Zant use the scientific method and careful testing to answer the important questions faced by long range shooters. In particular, this volume explores the subject of bullet dispersion including group convergence. Advanced hand-loading subjects are covered such as: bullet pointing and trimming, powder measurement, flash hole deburring, neck tension and fill ratio. Each topic is explored with extensive live fire, and the resulting information helps to guide hand loaders in a deliberate path to success. Nick Vitalbo's material on laser rangefinder performance is a landmark piece of work in the industry, and Cal Zant's chapter on composite wrapped barrels presents detailed test results on how these barrels perform compared to conventional options. The current bullet library of measured G1 and G7 ballistic coefficients is included as an appendix. This library currently has data on 533 bullets in common use by long range shooters. If you're a long range shooter who strives to understand the science of your craft, this latest installment of the Modern Advancement series is a must read! Review: If You Want to Know What Factors Affect Accuracy - This book not only teaches a lot about all the facets of a rifle and the load development for accuracy at long range, it is an excellent reference book. If Bryan Litz does not know the answer to a particular problem, he uses scientific method and applies it to real world testing on the range. Love it! Review: Wonderful Primer for Shooting Enthusiasts - A well written, well presented and concise guide to clarifying some major myths surrounding ballistics that so many of us novices have understood to be gospel. More than that, it served to clarify my understanding of certain variables in the reloading process and the degree to which those variables may benefit me and my long range pursuits. I highly recommend this volume, and volume 1, to any shooters or reloaders that are seeking to improve their understanding of the shooting sports.

For the layman
The author does an excellent job of taking a complex topic and distilling it down to something the average person can wrap their head around and apply to their craft. He does a good job of distinguishing myth from truth. A great read and a wealth of pragmatic and useful information.

must read if you care about shooting
It’s the bedrock of precision shooting discipline. Wish I’d have read the book years ago - would have save a lot of money.

What a treasure!
When you have read 35 pages of 350+ page book and already got your money's worth: $44.95 what more can I say. On my amazon wish list for quite some time but only when I got a $50 gift card for Father's Day did I pull the "one click" trigger and send that gift card down range. Not many books are worth the money but this book really delivers because Bryan Litz is extremely smart and very curious by nature. If you are a shooter, the chapter on angular group convergence is going to answer all those questions you have been scratching your head about. 5 Very Big Stars.

Long range shooting information
I liked the info as presented using statistical deviations. As always, you need to mirror this testing process for your own application. I don't get to shoot hundreds of rounds so it is good to have info to develop a good plan when you can find the time to shoot.
