Modern Advancements in Long Range Shooting is a book series by Bryan Litz which documents the ongoing R&D taking place in the Applied Ballistics laboratory.

Many topics are covered in this first Volume, including the effects of twist rate on muzzle velocity, BC (supersonic and transonic), precision, even spin rate decay for various rifling profiles is tested experimentally. Other sections detail the evolution of modern rifle, bullet, and optic design.

Results from extensive chronograph testing are presented which show the strengths and weaknesses of available commercial chronographs.

High tech instrumentation such as laser rangefinders and wind measurement devices are explained in detail by contributing author Nick Vitalbo.

The series is heavily based in experimental ballistics, and takes a sort of 'mythbusters' approach to many of the questions and problems faced by modern long range shooters. In today’s world of marketing hype and movie magic, Applied Ballistics continues to explore long range shooting using the scientific method, and publishes the results in a non-biased way that's easily understood by the layman.

Future volumes are planned to cover the ongoing testing and evaluation activities of Applied Ballistics.

Ten Commandments

Set up your reloading bench where it (and stored components) will not be exposed to heat, sparks or flame.
Establish a comfortable loading procedure and don't vary it.
Keep your reloading bench, equipment and area clean and uncluttered. Label components and reloads for safe, easy identification. Never use powder from an unlabelled tin.
Understand what you are doing and why it must be done in a specific way.
Follow loading recommendations exactly. Don't substitute components for those listed in metallic data without reducing the load and working back up.
Never substitute smokeless powder for black powder or Pyrodex because smokeless powder is much more powerful than black powder. Never mix two powders together.
Wear safety glasses.
Stay alert when reloading. Don't reload when distracted, disoriented or tired.
Don't smoke, drink alcohol or take drugs while reloading or while in your reloading area.
Keep everything out of reach of small children.
