As of lately my firearms interest has taken me more to the ammo factor and more specifically, the physics involved. Trouble is I'm not that savvy with all the lingo I've seen on some of the charts for bullet velocity and was wondering if anyone out there might know of a reference for us "dummies" ("bullet velocity for dummies")
More specifically, looking for the amount of damage a particular bullet would incur with a given charge, i.e. , 357 rem. mag, FMJ to penetrate such and such an object, i.e. , (sealed tin can, solid wood 1-1/2" door, car windshield, 3/16" sheet metal at 50, 100, 300 ft.)
I'll continue my 'net research while you guys have a few laughs on this one, and BTW, no, I'm not fixin' to create a new target range- just lookin' to tune up the ol' noodle a bit
P.S. to save some of the headache, FPS= feet per second, MPS= meters per second, 1 grain= 64.789 milligrams= 0.0022857oz
