Ballistics for Air Guns
Why are the Ingalls Tables and Ballistic Coefficient important in understanding the trajectory of airgun pellets?
The Ballistic Coefficient (BC) is a basic number which is used to
compare the ballistic efficiency of an airgun pellet as it travels through
the air with that of a standard (defined) projectile. The Ingalls Tables
are a well accepted data set which was compiled from a series of tests
of the ballistic performance of the standard projectile (BC = 1.0). That
data is based on the time and distance required for the standard
projectile to drop from one velocity level to another. Variables are the
Ballistic Coefficient, a Range, and Velocity at the limits of that
range. With an unknown projectile, knowing any three of these variables
will allow determination of the other by use of the Ingalls Tables and
associated formulas. The Ingalls Tables are also used to determine the
Time of Flight (seconds) for the pellet to drop from one velocity to
another. The tables included in the Advanced Airgun Ballistics book have been modified for
airgunners. Once the Ballistic Coefficient of an air gun pellet is known, it is possible to
generate a wide variety of ballistic data for air guns. For example, knowing the BC
and velocity at one distance, it becomes possible to estimate the
velocity and time of flight at any other range. This information can
further be used to calculate a other data including pellet drop, pellet path
(trajectory), and wind drift. Using the BC, it is not necessary to
develop ballistic data for each specific pellet. When fired at the same
velocity, two pellets with the same ballistic coefficient will follow
the same trajectory even though their weight, shape and/or caliber may
be different.
