Best Ballistician

[Flatlandliver]

Who is the best on AO. You cant nominate yourself, yes you.
I have seen tons of great stuff from lots of guys but who is the go to resource here.

[rottie]

Cat is one of ,if not the best

[Kurt505]

Cat
Elkhunter11
Bulletman
Chuck
Jordan Smith
Skytop b
Dick284

To name a few, there are quite a few more who know their stuff but are a little less vocal. if this was like fantasy football, I think I'd have the start of an Allstar team.

[catnthehat]

I'm a bit dated, I haven't really kept up with the times on a lot of the new stuff as EH11 has .
One fella that should be mentioned is 209X50
We don't always see eye to eye on all things in the ballistics World, but his expertise is irrefutable!

Chuck
Skytop b
Dick284
Xringassasin
Leftycanuck

Usually when these guys have something to say its best to be quiet and listen.

[catnthehat]

The very best on here as far as I am concerned can not only explain s situation about ballistics but is capable of building and extremely accurate rifle that looks good as well .
He has likely forgotten more about firearms ballistics than most here have ever learned and he did it old school well.
His name is Bill Leeper.
He knows what works and what is not worth talking about

For me, I really pay attention attention when Bill Leeper and David Henry weigh in, though that is not that often.

For the regulars, I have a great deal of respect for lots of people including Cat, Leo, Elk, 260 Rem, LeftyCanuck, Bobby B, Kurt 505, Chuck, Bulletman, Skytop B, Duceman, Gitrdun and many, many others offer lots of lived experience. Lots to learn from lots of people.

Now if we could only get Chuck to smile in his pictures

LMAO

[elkhunter11]

I may not always agree with some of them, but I have a great deal of respect for many people on this forum. Leeper and David Henry are true craftsmen. I have known the Cat for many years, and I have met Leo, and 260rem, all of whom I respect. There are several others whose input I value, including Left Canuck, and Chuck as well, even if he never smiles.

Homesteader is my Ballistics Advisor. No animal has walked away from the ammo that he has developed for me.

I found two where I appear down right jovial. It appears I haven't smiled in a hero shot since 1986.

209x50

Thats why I thought it would be nice to see what the peer group came up with. Pretty consistant praise for a few. Nice to have that kind of knowledge and experience available here, I am sure it doesnt come without an investment of a great deal of time and money. Glad they are willing to share it.

I'll go with this, as well as elkhunter himself. I don't load, no time with 5 kids and a business, but I have learned a great deal from all of the above. Special mention on Cat, because whenever I have messaged him looking for advice, info and his knowledge, he shares without hesitation. A really fine gentleman, and a credit to the forum (though not the only one for sure....)
