	Was suggesting that for the mods. Think they are the only ones who have that privilege.

	Thanks for all the work and different charts based on caliber. One question I have is the "bullet length." Is that in inches or calibers? As I recall, the original Greenhill formula used length in calibers, but many later programs use inches. Thanks, George

	The basic greenhill formula uses a constant of "150" in the equation. It might be good enough to calculate twist needed for say 200yds or a bit farther. But it will not work for long range. For example, I KNOW that a 1.55" long bullet will NOT be stabile out to more than a few hundred yards from a 16 twist barrel. In fact, we have seen that a 1.37" long lyman snover bullet may do well at 600yds, decently at 800, fair at 900, but will not be stabile at 1k out of a 16 twist barrel. One needs to plug in a constant of "125" or so to do the calculations for getting an idea of twist needed for long range stability at BPCR velocities. beltfed/arnie

	Am I wrong in thinking the bullet weight is relative?

	Best Regards, John

	Quote: I would be willing to share the Excel file calculator if someone could tell me how to share on the forum. LRF, if you posted the Excel lines of code in a post, then folks could open their Excel program, copy the code lines and do their calculations. Unfortunately, Excel files re not allowed to be posted (Unless a Moderator adds "xls" file extensions ) to the Attachment provision. Currently only these file extensions are allowed ... Quote: Allowed file types: txt doc docx psd pdf bmp jpe jpg jpeg gif png swf zip rar tar You could also zip the Excel file and then add the zip file as an attachement in your post

	Beltfed, You wrote: "For example, I KNOW that a 1.55" long bullet will NOT be stabile" What caliber?

	Beltfed, Guessing that you were talking 40 cal. here are the calculations for a constant of 150 and then 125. Twist BL 40 cal 11 @150 @125 12 1.734 13 1.601 14 1.784 1.486 15 1.665 1.387 16 1.561 1.301 17 1.469 1.224 18 1.387 1.156 19 1.314 20 1.248 21 1.189 22 1.135

	The multiplier 150 for fps slower than 2800 is used for smokeless reloads The multiplier 125 for fps slower than 2800 is used for black powder reload Source: Old Scout, 25 years as a gunsmith and gun crank personified ... now deceased

	Here is a velocity adjusted formula that matches my 32-40 experience ( (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links)). JPEG is table for 32.

	Attempt at supplying a zip file where you can download. Cross your fingers. If it works I could provide another that plots the graphs.
