why,what i do now
everything, its all your fault
Maybe his new job makes him work?
Are the three of us the only ones here?
Has Doc been busy with his new job, or is he depressed about moving to the 'Cuse? He's been awful quiet.
I apologise. I'm terrible about asking questions in the middle of someone else's thread.
I am not saying that at all and in fact you are right to a point. Mostly I was just bustin your balls.Foot pounds of energy is directly proportional to the velocity of the bullet and the weight of the bullet. KE=V*M (kinetic energy= velocity of bullet multiplied by mass of the bullet) Increasing the speed of a bullet will increase the energy but will start to decrease the accuracy and at a certain point the bullet will actually start to fly out of it's rotational spin and begin to drastically lose speed and therefore lose energy.The key is to find matches of velocity and mass to maintain the most accurate bullet. Hand loaders are always messing with gun powder down to the grain trying to find the sweet match.But to say that bullet x going 2800 fps is going to hit harder than bullet y at 2500 fps is not necessarily true. You need to look at the mass (wieght) of the bullet. Rifle slugs expand so much energy because of their mass where as a 270 round expands so much energy because of the speed it is traveling...I hope this makes it more clear? I thought about becoming a physics teacher after leaving the military but instead became an electrical engineer. Maybe I missed my calling.
lol, we were talking about doc, you didnt hijack
