"7.65 cartidge 3300 fps

A 308 with a 168gr bullet has a max v of ~2650 ft/sec. 3300 ft/sec for a 190gr bullet would be from a 30-378 cartridge. Here's something a little closer to what he was shooting. The wind deflection., v and accel are given in some tables that follow on the thread. They show where the 35ft horizontal deflectn and 56ft ht mentioned in #s98 and 99 come from.

"#s 98 and 99

Should be 107 and 109 above.

I think where most of the mis information is coming from is what the actual distance was, and what the actual windage was. 40mph is very real in the desert of Iraq.

The bullet drop is the same for all guns as it is a function of gravity. Energy can neither created or destroyed.

I don't have my bullet book here at work so just guessed at the fps.
