  2. Ballistics by the Inch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballistics_by_the_Inch

    The initial testing was done in 2008 and tested the velocity of 13 common handgun cartridges as it related to firearm barrel length. In 2009 an additional three calibers were tested and in 2010 and 2011 more calibers were added. Also in 2011 testing was carried out to study the "cylinder gap effect" on the velocity of ammunition shot from ...

  3. Power factor (shooting sports) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_factor_(shooting_sports)

    In both the open and standard rifle divisions, minor power factor is dominating due to less recoil, and 5.56×45mm/ .223 Rem is a common caliber. Ammunition loaded to major power factor such as 7.62×51 mm / .308 Win has a bigger recoil impulse, and is regarded as having an advantage on stages with targets at long range.

  4. .223 Remington - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.223_Remington

    The .223 Remington (designated 223 Remington by SAAMI [4] and 223 Rem. by the C.I.P. [5], pronounced "two-twenty three") is a rimless, bottlenecked, centerfire intermediate cartridge. It was developed in 1957 by Remington Arms and Fairchild Industries for the U.S. Continental Army Command of the United States Army as part of a project to create ...

  5. Kinematic similarity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinematic_similarity

    In fluid mechanics, kinematic similarity is described as “the velocity at any point in the model flow is proportional by a constant scale factor to the velocity at the same point in the prototype flow, while it is maintaining the flow’s streamline shape.” [1] Kinematic Similarity is one of the three essential conditions (Geometric Similarity, Dynamic Similarity and Kinematic Similarity ...

    The second reference drag curve is adjusted to equal the Siacci/Mayevski retardation rate function at a projectile velocity of 2600 fps (792.5 m/s) using a .30-06 Springfield Cartridge, Ball, Caliber .30 M2 152 grains (9.8 g) rifle spitzer bullet with a slope or deceleration constant factor of 0.5 in the supersonic flight regime. In other ...

  7. Speeds and feeds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speeds_and_feeds

    Cutting speed may be defined as the rate at the workpiece surface, irrespective of the machining operation used. A cutting speed for mild steel of 100 ft/min is the same whether it is the speed of the cutter passing over the workpiece, such as in a turning operation, or the speed of the cutter moving past a workpiece, such as in a milling operation.

  8. Velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velocity

    In terms of a displacement-time (x vs. t) graph, the instantaneous velocity (or, simply, velocity) can be thought of as the slope of the tangent line to the curve at any point, and the average velocity as the slope of the secant line between two points with t coordinates equal to the boundaries of the time period for the average velocity.

  9. .223 Winchester Super Short Magnum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.223_Winchester_Super...

    The .223 WSSM was introduced in 2003 by the Browning Arms Company, Winchester Ammunition, and Winchester Repeating Arms Company. The .223 designation is a reference to the popular .223 Remington. It is currently the fastest production .22 caliber round in the world with muzzle velocities as high as 4,600 feet per second (1,402 meters per second).
