Ballistic Coefficient
Ballistic coefficient is a measurement of how efficiently a bullet defeats air resistance as it pushes through our atmosphere. A high ballistic coefficient is good, it means the projectile has low-drag and will travel quickly for longer distances than a projectile with a low ballistic coefficient. When thinking about ballistic coefficient, the main factors are a projectile’s mass, diameter, and drag coefficient.
