Active, Jacketed and Cast Bullet List

When the bullet selection module is opened for viewing, the three bullet databases will be filtered to display only bullets with diameters that are within 0.010" of the bore-groove diameter of the selected firearm. This filter may be turned on or off with the Filter Checkbox located on each individual database page.

Each database may be searched using the Search Fields module. If a record is not found that matches the selections, the focus will be moved to the closest match.

When a record is selected, it must be moved to the Active Bullet database by clicking the "Move the selection to the Active Bullet Database" button and then entered into the Load Data by clicking the "Copy the selection to the load page" button.

If the correct bullet record is not found, a new, blank record may be opened in the Edit Bullet Page by clicking on the "Enter a New Record" button. The Vendor Name, Caliber Diameter, Bullet Type and Retardation Table may be entered into the record from the Drop Down lists that are activated by clicking the down-arrow at the right of each field window.

After the Key fields are entered, the remaining fields may be manually edited.
If the Ballistic Coefficient is not known and the Precision Ballistics and Trajectory software is available, a Ballistic Coefficient may be estimated or calculated in that software module. Or a Ballistic Coefficient may be estimated on-line at the Precision Ballistic Coefficient Estimator.Any bullet record that is added and edited in the Precision Ballistics software will also be available and visible in this database editor.

The records in the three databases may be sorted according to either the Vendor Name or Caliber Diameter.
A Bullet Vendor Name filter may also be activated allowing the records to be viewed according to the Manufacturers name.
