Improved Rifle Ballistics Table

By Chuck Hawks
This ballistics table includes only the most common calibers. For an expanded
version of this table showing a great many more calibers and loads including
British, European, wildcat, proprietary and obsolescent American calibers, see
the "Expanded and Improved Rifle Ballistics Table" on the Tables, Charts and
Lists Page.
There are dozens of loads for any given bullet weight in any cartridge that will produce
different velocity and energy figures. And different rifles seldom produce identical
performance, even with the same load. So the figures in any ballistics table should be
taken as approximate. Never-the-less, the table below gives a reasonably accurate
comparison of the basic ballistics of a great many rifle cartridges.
The velocity and energy figures in this table are taken from various sources including
the Federal, Hornady, Norma, Remington, Sako, Weatherby and Winchester print and
online ammunition guides, the Shooter's Bible, the "Remington Shoot!" program, and
online ballistics calculators.

General abbreviations used below are: E (energy), V (velocity), Wb (weight

of bullet), yds (yards), n/a (not available).
Abbreviations of bullet types are: AT (AccuTip), BT (Ballistic Tip), BTHP (boat-tail
hollow point), BX (Barnes-X spitzer HP), EVO (LEVERevolution), FP (flat point), HP
(hollow point), LFP (lead flat point), NP (Nosler Patition), PL (Power-Lokt), PP+ (Power
Point Plus), PSP (pointed soft point), RN (round nose), SP (spire point), Sp (soft point),
SBT (spitzer boat-tail), SPBT (spire point boat-tail), Ssp (semi-spitzer), SST (Super
Shock Tip), TSX (Barnes Triple Shock-X), VMX (V-Max).
Note: In the table Bullet Weight is given in grains, Velocity (V) is given in feet per
second (fps) and Energy (E) is given in foot pounds (ft. lb.).
