I'm not even sure either anyone will read this, but I'm giving it a try anyway. I'm studying sniping for myself in some free time (I'm a total amature at this one now) and right now there's something I have to do for school, for math. I decided to write a little something about ballistics. I have this picture of a bullet's true path and I wonder if there's already some kind of formula for this graph? I'm guessing...but any kind of info will do.

Listen, technically the rifle with best MOA will shoot best at ANY distance, BUT in practise the m24 will have a very different trajectory than the m84 due to loading and bullet weight etc.

Thus leaving it more wonerable to mother nature at long distances, so my conclusion is that the m84 will beat the hell out of the m24 at 1000m and up. i have shot both rifles against eachother and the result was just that.

all is connected to the moa of the gun;but it is just mathematics in the field it is different.i propose the sniping officer of our regiment a check at 1000m.between a barrett and a m24 of course the m24 has a far better moa than a barrett.but at 1000m who will win?we'll see

I don't have the websight handy but check out Nosler, they have a ballistic calculator that you can enter different info into and it will give you most everything you can imagine to figure the theoretical path of a moving projectile..Hope that helps..

Thanks :)

Co incidentally I am too. You have to factor in muzzle velocity, air resistance, angle that it was shot at. Im sure that I've left out other facts but that should help you. try this site for an in depth explanation.
