Factory loadings. Number of manufacturers producing complete cartridges - e.g. Norma, RWS, Hornady, Winchester, Federal, Remington, Sellier & Bellot, Prvi Partizan. May be none for obsolete and wildcat cartridges. H/R: Handgun (H) or rifle (R) - dominant usage of the cartridge (although several dual-purpose cartridges exist)
Example of a ballistic table for a given 7.62×51mm NATO load. Bullet drop and wind drift are shown both in mrad and MOA.. A ballistic table or ballistic chart, also known as the data of previous engagements (DOPE) chart, is a reference data chart used in long-range shooting to predict the trajectory of a projectile and compensate for physical effects of gravity and wind drift, in order to ...
The cartridge makes use of 6 mm (.243 in) bullets, which are known for their high ballistic coefficients due to the high sectional density with less drag and better energy retention at extended ranges. With the release in 2020, Hornady also launched three factory loads with 103, 105 and 108 gr (6.7, 6.8 and 7.0 g) bullet weights and advertised ...
In ballistics, the ballistic coefficient (BC, C b) of a body is a measure of its ability to overcome air resistance in flight. [1] It is inversely proportional to the negative acceleration: a high number indicates a low negative acceleration—the drag on the body is small in proportion to its mass.
The 6.5mm Creedmoor (6.5×48mm), [6] designated 6.5 Creedmoor by SAAMI, 6,5 Creedmoor by the C.I.P. [4] is a centerfire rifle cartridge introduced by Hornady in 2007. [7]It was developed by Hornady senior ballistics scientist Dave Emary in partnership with Dennis DeMille, the vice-president of product development at Creedmoor Sports, hence the name.
Values courtesy of the Hornady Ballistic Calculator [14] For the purposes of this comparison barrel a barrel length of 24 in (610 mm) is used. The .458 Lott is able to attain over 2,300-foot-per-second (700 m/s) with a 500-grain (32 g) jacketed bullet at safe pressure levels from a 23–24-inch (580–610 mm) barrel.
The actual cartridge has a .543-inch diameter (13.8 mm) base, with a rebated rim.The rim diameter of the .50 AE is the same as the .44 Remington Magnum cartridge. A Mark XIX Desert Eagle in .50 AE can be converted to .44 with nothing more than a barrel and magazine change.
The .378 Weatherby Magnum was designed by Roy Weatherby in 1953. [3] [4] Although inspired by the .416 Rigby, it is an original belted magnum design with no parent case. [5]The cartridge features a high powder capacity relative to its bore size, and can hold upwards of 7.13 g (120 gr) of powder.
