Just a couple decades+ of asking about this kind of stuff to industry people and experts at sniper's hide (when I was more into long range shooting), and personal email communications.
I'm a civil engineer and some of it is basic physics or math, or available everywhere for research but the devil is in the details and it is better to ask people that do it for a living.
Since internet became available I've had great luck contacting very knowledgeable industry people, leaders in their field. I've discussed tech stuff (a hobby for me) with great 1911 gunsmiths or rifle makers, scope or ammo manufacturers, ballistic software designers, etc. It is amazing how well technical people respond to educated and interesting questions.
I just wrote yesterday to Nightforce telling them about the problems with the tech detailed data portrayed in their web site. Sometimes you get a reply with some thanks and make a new friend, sometimes not...
