Ballistic performance

Ballistic data for up to five different weight bullets can be specified; it may be provided in either SI or Imperial units, but this choice must be consistent for all five sets. The x in the field name should be replaced with 1–5 as displayed in the template format shown above (e.g. bw1, bw2, btype1, btype2, vel1, vel2, en1, en2, etc.):

  • bwx – optional – the weight of the bullet for given data, expressed in grams or grains; only include the number, and not the units of measurement.

    • enx – required if bw field is specified – energy of the bullet at the muzzle, expressed in J or ft·lbf; only include the number, and not the units of measurement, and omit any commas.
  • test_barrel_length – optional – the length of the barrel used when generating the ballistics data.
  • balsrc – optional – the source from which the ballistics data was obtained.
