    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. .22 long rifle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.22_Long_Rifle

    A powder with a slower burning rate is used to make the most use of the length of a rifle barrel. Most .22 long rifle powders increase velocity up to about 19 in (480 mm) of the barrel. The powder used in the Stinger increases velocity up to the longest .22 barrel length tested by the NRA, 26 in (660 mm). [24]

  4. 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 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.22_Cheetah

    The .22 CHeetah (both C and H are upper-case, [1] referring to Carmichel / Huntington [2]) is a .22 wildcat cartridge developed in the 1970s or 1980s by Jim Carmichel and Fred Huntington. [ 3 ] The .22 CHeetah is essentially a Remington .308 BR (empty .308 Winchester cases [ 4 ] [ 5 ] ), modified to fit the .22 caliber . [ 6 ]

  6. Muzzle velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muzzle_velocity

    So, the muzzle velocity of a 2-inch (51 mm) barrel is less than that of a 4-inch (100 mm) barrel, which is less than that of a 6-inch (150 mm) barrel. Large naval guns will have high length-to-diameter ratios, ranging between 38:1 to 50:1. This length ratio maximizes the projectile velocity.

  7. .22 caliber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.22_caliber

    .22 caliber, or 5.6 mm, refers to a common firearms bore diameter of 0.22 inch (5.6 mm) in both rimfire and centerfire cartridges. Cartridges in this caliber include the very widely used .22 Long Rifle and .223 Remington/5.56×45mm NATO. .22 inch is also a popular air gun pellet caliber, second only to the ubiquitous .177 caliber.

  8. 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 ...

  9. .22 Savage Hi-Power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.22_Savage_Hi-Power

    400 pound Tiger taken by Reverend H. R. Caldwell using a Savage Model 99 chambered for .22 Savage Hi-Power. The .22 Savage Hi-Power's relatively high velocity for the time and "shocking" power led to an initial surge of popularity, and was attributed with almost magical killing powers even on large and dangerous soft-skinned game such as tigers.
