Fox Industries 1.68" Ball - Weight
« on: June 20, 2010, 11:53:11 AM »
I have calculated the weight based on density (0.2835 and volume) and get 0.7041 pounds or 4928.7 grains.

Does anyone have a measured weight for conformation?

Thank you

I had to walk out to the shop to weight the ball, and saw some 577/450 cases that need sized, and couple of tools put aways, before I weighed the ball.  On the way back in pulled some weeds in the garden, before I could get to the house.

First thank you for the Info.  Yes it is "Calibrate the new program module to estimate the Ballistic Coefficient".  I will provide estimated BC later today for Golf Balls, Fox Industry Balls, Tennis Balls, and pop-cans (8 and 12 once).

The BC estimation routine was with 0.5 % on data I collected and alos for data collected at the Washington Arsenal in 1844.  I guess the air has not changed alot.

Again Thanks
