RE: Round Ball Velocity/Energy Data
Good link, with good info. Thanks for sharing.
But, KE calculations favor higher speed, lighter weight bullets, while momentum calculations favor lower speed heavier weight bullets. KE may not be the best way to describe the effectiveness of a round ball. Undoubtably a conical is much more effective at distance than a PRB, but does that meanthe PRBcannot be effective within it's limitations? Is the ball getting a short shrift in KE calculations? Is there a better way to describe it's effectiveness?
