Applied Ballistics Second Edition Bryan Litz

[TonyR]

I just got my copy of the Second Edition of Bryan's book. He has added data sheets on many bullets of interest and the rest of the book is full of useful information about exterior ballistics. He has organized the material in a logical sequence and I look forward to reading through it. I have found the First Edition to be extremely useful and the second appears to be even more so.

Any of you fellas who have the second edition like to help a brother out? I have the first edition which I have read at least twice it's so good. I found on the applied ballistic llc website that Bryan added the 6.5 mm 140 gr Accubond data to the second edition. I use this bullet for hunting. Would someone please share the details of the bullet for me?

Thanks in advance!

Ross

? is the second edition a continuation of the 1st ed. or is it the 1st ed. with added info.

Some of both. Lots of info about individual bullets that were not included in the First Edition and most of the other sections appear to be either new or substantially rewritten. Bryan spends a lot of time answering questions on this Forum and on the Long Range Forum, and he seems to have incorporated info that answers questions people have asked since the First Edition was published. It really seems to be more like a different book.
