Hi, that's strange.
I've checked the program on five different computers, with no problem.
Maybe it's a system file missing?
Got any error msg?
What operative system are you using?
I have only Win2000/XP to test the program on.

PS. Have updated the installer with all systemfiles needed.
Hope this helps.

Best Regards
Lars-K

1 grain does not equal 648 grams
1 gram does not equal 154321 grains
1 pound does not equal 45359237 grams
1 gram does not equal 2204625 pounds
1 cm does not equal 394 inches
1 ounce does not equal 437500 grains
1 grain does not equal 2286 ounces
1 ounce does not equal 2957353 ml

Need I go on?

A Sierra 52 grain HPBT bullet at 3700 FPS does not require a 375611.7:1 twist rate, and it definately spins faster than 2.7 RPM.


A Sierra 55 grain SBT bullet at 3700 FPS does not require a 366350.0:1 twist rate, and it definately spins faster than 2.7 RPM.

A Sierra 85 grain HPBT bullet at 3400 FPS does not require a 344718.7:1 twist rate, and it definately spins faster than 2.7 RPM.

And there is NO direct correlation between CUP and PSI.

Hi, I figured out the problems.
It's the keyboard layout concerning the "comma-Dot" problem.
This must cause the problems since I got total different values on my PC.
If I try grains in my program I got.:
1 grain = 0.0648 grams.
I'm going to look into the code...
Maybe I will make a US version.
*******************************
I think I solved the problem.
Try to download this program and see if it's working.
This is only for the users that don't get any decimals in the program.
Download.: DecimalTester

Seems like there are some decimal points missing in those figures....... Like for instance, 1 grain = 0.064860843.... of a gram.....

That's why I want you to try the new file I have provided.
Download and check if the decimal problem is OK.

Hi, I have fixed the decimal problem in my software for US computers.
Just click on the update button and upgrade to version 2.8.0
Regarding the Cup/PSI correlation my algo is mainly taken from recent published data.
More data about correlating PSI and CUP can be found in a document by Denton Bramwell
Link to the dockument is here.: Correlating PSI and CUP
quote:
What is Correlation?
If you’re on one of the reloading bulletin boards, and say that PSI (modern use) and CUP
are correlated, you’d best be wearing your asbestos underwear. There are a lot of people
that “know†that the two systems aren’t correlated, and will tell you so in no uncertain
terms. Math and physics aren’t on their side, as we shall see. I suspect that their
“knowledge†comes from old information, published to straighten out the problems that
came from incorrectly calling CUP PSI.

Lars; I just downloaded it and the update. It works fine for me. I just need to use the comma instead of the decimal point. An interesting program. Thanks...Jim

Having written some simple software, I appreciate you effort--thanks.

However, there is an error in the temp comversion. When computing degrees C from degrees F, you are short 32 degrees. Hope that helps.

Thanks Geo.
I have checked the temp conversion and I can't find
any errors.
****
100°Celsius = 212°Farenheit
212°Farenheit = 100°Celsius
****
38°Celsius = 100°Farenheit
100°Farenheit = 38°Celsius
****
Do you get any other values?
If you do, it must be the "comma" issue.
It's driving Me crazy!

Well, I tried the thing tonight and got these values:

F98,6=C37 (Correct)
F98.6=C5.30 (Not Correct)

Guess that it is the comma issue. Sorry to trouble you. If I had known it was simply a comma problem, I could have used a comma!

Anyway, thanks again for the software.

Here are a couple of other glitches that I noticed. They are likely typos as the word "length" is misspelled.

Barrel Calc Page 1x
Barrel Twist Page all instances

Easy to overlook, easy to correct next time around, too.
