Hornady Index of Terminal Standards (H.I.T.S.) Calculator

[edh]

Here's a fun tool to help decide what bullet to load, what gun to take, or maybe which new caliber to add to your collection. The data Hornady presents is based on impact velocity at 100 yards. Have Fun!

Cute. Looks like it places a little too much emphasis on Sectional Density.
Enter a set of facts, change the bullet diameter, then see what happens.

Pretty neat!

That is cool. It says my 6.8 spc G2 Contender load is for small game only though. That makes me nervous. :shock:

I agree with you. The calculator is worthless in my opinion.

Even the advice on the bullets listed below on that page is wrong. It lists the application by muzzle velocity and not striking velocity.
