RE: Question for Slip-Fit Conical Shooters
If you fired a .504 diameter slip-fit conical weighing 460 grains pushed by 80 grains of Triple7 FFg (RWS 1075+ cap) straight into the air from a 24" 1:24" twist barrel exactly in line with the force of gravity on it's upward path (no wind at all) from the town center in Wheeling, WV... how far away and in what direction from your position would the bucket have to be to catch the falling bullet. And that is only the first question.
