    The bore cross section areas "Q" used in the calculations were taken from the appropriate C.I.P. data sheets. The intermediate cartridges .30 Carbine , 7.92×33mm Kurz , 7.62×39mm , 7.62×45mm , 5.45×39mm , .223 Remington / 5.56×45mm NATO and 5.8×42mm stand out as having relatively low sub 8 O ratio's .
