  2. Table of handgun and rifle cartridges - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_of_handgun_and_rifle...

    A guide to the recoil from the cartridge, and an indicator of bullet penetration potential. The .30-06 Springfield (at 2.064 lbf-s) is considered the upper limit for tolerable recoil for inexperienced rifle shooters. [2] Chg: Propellant charge, in grains; Dia: Bullet diameter, in inches; BC: Ballistic coefficient, G1 model; L: Case length (mm)

  3. .270 Winchester - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.270_Winchester

    The .270 Winchester cartridge is equipped with a 130-grain bullet traveling at approximately 3,060 feet per second (fps). When sighted in to intersect 3 inches above the line of sight at 100 yards (about 90 meters), it maintains a trajectory that rises no more than 3.5 inches and aligns with the line of sight around 270 yards.

  4. .270 Winchester Short Magnum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.270_Winchester_Short_Magnum

    This new .270 cartridge was the third commercial .270 ever produced, and the first one in 60 years. [1] The 270 WSM is an improvement over the older 270 Winchester providing higher velocity with bullets of the same weight, and thus a flatter trajectory and more energy. Velocities tend to be about 250 ft/s (76 m/s) faster, in a cartridge that is ...

  5. Ballistic table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballistic_table

    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 ...

  6. 6.8 Western - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6.8_Western

    With a 165-grain bullet, the 6.8 Western is capable of matching the muzzle velocity of a .270 Winchester loaded with a 150-grain bullet. The higher ballistic coefficient of the 6.8 Western results in a flatter trajectory at distances beyond 600 yards, which may be controversial for hunting purposes.

  7. Nosler cartridges - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nosler_cartridges

    When firing a 9.7 g (150 gr) AccuBond Long Range bullet from a rifle with a 660 mm (26 in) barrel, the .27 Nosler has an approximately 120 m/s (400 ft/s) advantage over the .270 Winchester, about a 90 m/s (300 ft/s) advantage over the .270 WSM, and about a 30–46 m/s (100–150 ft/s) velocity advantage over the .270 Weatherby. The primary use ...

  8. .270 Weatherby Magnum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.270_Weatherby_Magnum

    The .270 Weatherby Magnum was the first belted magnum based on the .300 H&H Magnum to be developed by Roy Weatherby in 1943. [2] The cartridge is short enough to function in standard-length long actions with a brass length of 2.549" or 64.74mm and an overall length of about 3.295".

  9. 7-30 Waters - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7-30_Waters

    A typical .30-30 factory load fires a 150-grain bullet at 2390 ft/s, while the current 7-30 factory load fires a 120-grain bullet at 2700 ft/s. Muzzle energy is just over 1900 ft-lbs for both of these loads, but the lighter weight 7 mm bullet has a higher velocity and flatter trajectory.
