Description
This manual is used to compare the performance and design characteristics of over 200 popular rounds of ammunition based on maximum muzzle velocity and is in the 5th edition. The manual is easy to read and use and is designed to educate the reader in the field of practical ballistics. The manual gives an introduction to the following :
1.) The background, notes, assumptions and formulas used when calculating the ballistic characteristics of ammunition.
2.) Individual tables of ammunition characteristics for over 200 calibers or rounds of ammunition.
3.) A Chart of Gun Powder burn rates.
4.) An Overview of Explosives.
5.) Several Emergency and Survival Preparedness Guides
The Following Characteristics are explained and listed in the manual for ease of comparison between rounds (for example - comparing the Optimum Take-down Weight of
a .223 vs. 7.62 x 39 mm):
