In 1884, the US Ordnance Department increased the bullet weight of the 45–70 to 45–70–500, or a 45 caliber bullet, 70 grains of black powder, and a 500 grain bullet. [3] The new 45-70-500 loading was recorded with a muzzle velocity of 1315.7 feet, and generated 1525 ft lbs of energy at 100 yds, and 562.3 ft lbs of energy at 1,000 yards ...
Muzzle energy is dependent upon the factors previously listed, and velocity is highly variable depending upon the length of the barrel a projectile is fired from. [2] Also the muzzle energy is only an upper limit for how much energy is transmitted to the target, and the effects of a ballistic trauma depend on several other factors as well.
In this case, the terminal velocity increases to about 320 km/h (200 mph or 90 m/s), [citation needed] which is almost the terminal velocity of the peregrine falcon diving down on its prey. [4] The same terminal velocity is reached for a typical .30-06 bullet dropping downwards—when it is returning to earth having been fired upwards, or ...
Both articles contradict each other. The 500 S&W Magnums claims 3.5 kJ, the 45-70 shot through a 14-inch-Contender claims 2.7kJ. Yet the 45-70 is referred to as arguably the most potent caliber offered in the Contender frame, while it is also available in .500 S&W Magnum . This might be, because the 45-70 article is older than the one about 500 ...
However, the .500 Bushwhacker cartridge can generate 3,004.6 ft/s (916 m/s) with a 230-grain bullet from a 14-inch (356 mm) revolver. [ 6 ] The .460 cartridge achieves high velocities by combining light-for-caliber bullets, a large case capacity, and the high chamber pressures (65,000 psi maximum) typical of magnum rifle cartridges.
