Ooops...should be 30 x 1/3% = 10% since each step down from new barrel MV was one third of a percent.peeved wrote:I'd imagine 30 x 0,3% [of the FT MV]= 9% ≈ 10% in keeping with the MV approximations.Yoozername wrote:I have no idea where he gets 10% though.
And if firing table MV is 750 m/s then
MV from a new barrel would be 1,03 x 750 m/s = 772,5 m/s ≈ 770 m/s and
MV from a worn-out barrel ca. 770 m/s / 1,10 = 700 m/s
Conversely if
MV from a new barrel was 790 m/s then
FT MV should be ca. 790 m/s / 1,03 = 767 m/s ≈ 770 m/s
MV from a worn-out barrel ca. 790 m/s / 1,10 = 718,2 m/s ≈ 720 m/s
Technically the calculations are still somewhat off since the first 10 steps down are just 3% instead of 3,33333333.... but adequate for approximation.
