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)
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 ...
Due to the continued popularity of the KT, Weatherby introduced the .338-378 Weatherby Magnum in 1998 to its line of commercial ammunition, using a full-length 2.908" case. [3] Although based on the .338-378 KT, the .338-378 Weatherby Magnum and the KT have different load data and chamber sizes and are not interchangeable. [5]
The .378 Weatherby generates considerable free recoil with full-power loads, for an average of 72 ft·lbf from a 9 lb rifle. This compares to 23 ft·lbf from a rifle chambered for .30-06 Springfield or 44 ft·lbf for the .375 H&H Magnum. However, the .458 Winchester Magnum generates 78 ft·lbf and the .458 Lott produces 86 ft·lbf of free ...
The .17 Hornady Mach 2, commonly known as the .17 HM2, is a rimfire cartridge introduced in 2004 by the ammunition manufacturer Hornady, following the successful launch in 2002 of the .17 HMR. The .17 HM2 is based on the .22 Long Rifle "Stinger" case, necked down to .17 caliber (4.5 mm) and using a bullet weighing less than half the weight of a ...
The Hornady Superformance Ammunition drives a Hornady 180 gr (12 g) Interbond or SST bullet at 3,040 ft/s (930 m/s) and the 150 gr (9.7 g) SST bullets at 3,310 ft/s (1,010 m/s). The.300 Ruger Compact Magnum's greater case capacity, and the "short fat" cartridge efficiency lead to increases in the neighborhood of 150 fps over the H&H cartridge ...
The 120 gr (7.8 g) Weatherby N257120PT ammunition should not be used in older .257 Weatherby rifles as the twist rate is too slow to adequately stabilize the bullet. The 117 gr (7.6 g) Weatherby H257117RN ammunition is manufactured for rifles with the slower twist rate.
Like the .308 Marlin Express, the .338 Marlin Express was designed to be a relatively flat shooting cartridge, taking advantage of the bullets Hornady designed for the rounds. Its trajectory is similar to the .30-06 Springfield. [4] Since the acquisition of Marlin by Ruger, [5] regular production of .338 Marlin Express ammunition by Hornady has ...
