9mm Major is a wildcat cartridge of the 9mm Luger specifically for competition pistols designed to handle very high pressure. It is used in practical shooting competitions like International Practical Shooting Confederation (IPSC) and United States Practical Shooting Association (USPSA) to achieve a "Major" power factor, which earns more points for hits in specific zones on paper targets ...
124 grain 9mm Luger Full Metal Jacketed Round Nose (FMJ RN) at a velocity of 1305 ft/s (398 m/s) 158 grain .357 Magnum Jacketed Soft Point (JSP) at a velocity of 1430 ft/s (436 m/s). This is roughly equivalent to the obsolete NIJ Level II ballistic protection level. [10] NIJ HG2 9mm Luger.44 Magnum: This armor would protect against:
This is a table of selected pistol/submachine gun and rifle/machine gun cartridges by common name. Data values are the highest found for the cartridge, and might not occur in the same load (e.g. the highest muzzle energy might not be in the same load as the highest muzzle velocity, since the bullet weights can differ between loads).
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 ...
Conversion from kilo grain feet per second to newton-seconds is trivial, since both the grain and foot is based on SI units. One troy grain is defined as 0.064 798 91 grams exactly [ 1 ] and one international foot is defined as 0.3048 meters , giving the exact conversion factor of 0.019 750 707 768 .
The .338 Xtreme cartridge (or .338 XT for short), is based on a necked down .505 Gibbs cartridge case with a sharper 35 degree shoulder angle. Introduced in 2008 by Xtreme Machining of Grassflat, Pa, [ 1 ] the cases, commercially produced by Bertram Bullets , have a length of 3.030" and a head diameter of 0.640".
The lightest published load data i can find is for Lehigh Defense 100gr "Xtreme Defense". The LD bullet is not available as finished ammunition, and I don't see anything other than blog and forum posts detailing velocities or energy using that bullet, so I don't know that it's relevant here.
