Full description and what we offer
The Ballistic Assistant serves handloaders, commercial ammunition loaders, and ballistics enthusiasts with detailed technical content, load data, and equipment reviews. This isn't a retail store—it's an educational platform built by people who spend time at the bench and understand the nuances of ammunition development.
The site maintains extensive technical resources including:
Unlike generic ballistics calculators, The Ballistic Assistant actually tests equipment. Recent projects include:
Testing the Derraco Engineering Ugly SRT case trimmer—affordable, effective, and consistent results for batch brass preparation like 7.62×39mm.
They also document firearm builds and modifications with technical detail—like a VZ-58 trigger job that required understanding sear geometry, engagement length, and hammer design to achieve predictable breaking.
The site tracks regulatory developments, product releases, and industry news:
They evaluate ballistic software like Barnes/Sierra's new Doppler radar-based calculator (which adjusts drag curves across the entire flight path rather than relying on single G1/G7 coefficients) and compare against industry standards like Ballistic AE.
The site has grown significantly in 2025 through reader sharing and recommendations. They actively engage with reader questions and feedback, using subscriber input to shape content direction. Subscribe to their email list to get notified when new technical articles are posted.
