QTU Lapua Edition is a sophisticated exterior ballistic Basically, as starting values you will need only software that can utilize extremely accurate Doppler type and muzzle . Software will calculate e.g. radar measurements of bullet . These bullet drop, velocity and energy as a function of distance continuous air drag coefficients make it possible to and the flying time. You can calculate also wind drift calculate the of your bullet much more and the program has many features useful for adjusting accurately than using the simplified one-number B.C. your scope. All fine features of the software can be Now Lapua is first to offer this radar-data and these found in the manual downloadable from Lapua website advanced ballistic calculations for civilian long-range (downloads section). shooters. Software is available free from www.lapua. com website under “Lapua ballistic site”. Quick Target Unlimited® Lapua Edition Typically used simple ballistic coefficients (common B.C. G1 or rarely used B.C. G7) describe only ballistic performance of the bullet compared to a standard bullet G1 or G7. Ballistic Coefficient is essentially a measure of drag force compared to G1 or G7 standard . The higher the B.C. value, the less drag and better ballistic performance. The B.C. changes during a projectile‘s flight and stated B.C.’s are always averages for particular velocity ranges. Knowing how a B.C. was established is almost as important as knowing the stated B.C. value itself. For the precise establishment of bullet trajectory, Doppler radar-measurements are required. The normal shooter however, has no access to such expensive professional measurement devices. Doppler radars are used by governments, professional ballisticians, defense forces and a few ammunition manufacturers to obtain exact real world data on the flight behavior of of interest. The useful result for shooter is bullet Drag Coefficient (CD).

CD factor describes the aerodynamic drag at particular point of trajectory. CD table shows this factor as a function of velocity (Mach number). Special software is required (e.g. Quick Target Unlimited) to utilize this data to ballistic table.

CD factor does not include the material mass on contrary to B.C. but this is included by software. Calculating from CD table the wind drift can be estimated more accurately. During the Doppler radar measurements the complete location information versus time is recorded. Therefore this method consideres bullet drop during flight and enables the feedback coupling of calculated data and reality. Lapua is offering today this most scientific and accurate data for serious long range Target Shooting. .338 Lapua GB528 Scenar 19.44g (300gr) Drag Coefficient Trajectory versus Line of Sight (Cd) (cm) 0,360 2000,000
