17 tuna can. its a shortened 50BMG necked down to .177. bullets are hand turned SS. lead bullets atomized at the muzzle. I actualy used one on a hunt once. I shot a 75 pound doe at 1900 meters. I missed her but the bullet caused a rip in the space time continuem and slund her back in time 2 hours and 15 min. i was standing at the exact spot looking for hair when she reappeared and butt stroked her in the head. | |||

Rifle bullets all are the same speed 0 MPH or 0 FPS.. Bullets have no speed at all unless loaded in a cartridge and propelled by high pressure gas, created by burning gun powder in a confined space...  _____________________________________________________ A 9mm may expand to a larger diameter, but a 45 ain't going to shrink Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened. - Winston Churchill | |||

The same kind of thing happened to me when I was testing a .308" MAGLEV rifle at the range. Someone reversed the polarity on the extension cord I was using and well.......you can guess what happened next!  | |||

I would say the mono-metal bullets with driving bands. They are lighter in weight than cup and core bullets of similar length and the relief grooves cut in the bullets reduce the friction in the barrel. I just ordered some 36 grain Barnes 22 cal bullets and I'm going to see how they do in a 26", three groove, 10" twist 22.250 barrel that I had built.

Picture of jwp475 Posted 12 December 2007 01:56 Hide Post Rifle bullets all are the same speed 0 MPH or 0 FPS.. Bullets have no speed at all unless loaded in a cartridge and propelled by high pressure gas, created by burning gun powder in a confined space... The above statement is incorrect !. I have a weapon that propels .22 Cal projectiles at 1500 FPS that burns NOTHING !. The neighbors yard below their retaining wall is Ground Zero for Squirrels . When I fire the secret weapon they die and fly rolling and tumbling too squirrel heaven !. The neighbors wife got all excited when I popped one of those suckers with the .338 Win mag one afternoon . Their from back east strange lot . I suspect tree hugger's least that's my guess !. He sounded on me about killing ground squirrels his ground squirrels no less !.So I asked him to keep them over on his side of the fence . A few weeks later the local news did an article about rabis and the plague with 9 ground squirrels being caught in different areas of our county and they tested positive !. He said blast away only could I use something not quite so loud ; Sure I replied ,I try to be a good neighbor . Oh yea they undermined his drive way retaining wall which broke when the propane truck came to deliver !. That mess cost them about $ 8K to have fixed along with the propane truck and NOT being able to drive too his house for two weeks !.

Please post your results, Frank. Some folks on this side of Tejon are looking for answers.  rogerOld age is a high price to pay for maturity!!! Some never pay and some pay and never reap the reward. Wisdom comes with age! Sometimes age comes alone.. | |||

Frank, I think you will be disappointed with the results of those in that fast of a twist.. I tried some out in a faster twist 22.250 with a one in 7 twist... they vaporized with that fast of a twist... the one in 10 may be better but according to my call to Barnes and their tech guy, a faater twist 22.250 won't work with them, they are too fragile for high velocity and fast twist... I also have some 30 grain Berger HPs in 22 caliber.. they are the length of a 50 grain TNT, and they will take the faster twist... I'd suggest giving those a try if you are looking for a fast velocity bullet.... I still have some left out of my initial boz of 100 left, maybe I should give those a try myself... of course after I figure out what will give me the most velocity, then everyone will want to know how tight of groups they give also... for that answer, some one has to send me more bullets, or else I have to wait until my local sportsman's whorehouse gets in some more... They did well out of the old 223...for both velocity and accuracy... Life Member: The American Vast Right Wing Conspiracy Jan 20, 2009..

Am i just imagining it or is there a 59 grain bullet produced by someone for the .308 with about 4,000fps? If it exists and isn't just a figment of my imagination has anyone any experience of it? | |||

If I remember correctly, they were/are called Accelerators. They are able to do this by using a sabot and 22 caliber bullet. **************** NRA Life Benefactor Member | |||

Dr. Lou is correct. Remington still makes the Accelerator which is a 50 gr. (? maybe 55 gr) bullet that is mounted in a sabot that is then loaded in 30-30, 308 Win & 30-06. It's been a long time since I looked at the ballistics but it seems to me like the 30-06 was running that sabot out at around 4200 FPS at the muzzle. Of course the sabot spins off quickly to release the bullet. The only problem that I had with the set up is that the point of aim changed a bunch - like 18" at 100 yards. I shot one deer with it and the entry hole was approximately 5" across; the bullet created a cavity that only went in about 3"; the bullet acted about like a 22-250 or 220 Swift - it disintegrated and there was nothing to recover. It killed the deer but I am doubtful that it would have gotten through a shoulder to the vitals. They really pack a major punch and would be fine for coyotes, fox, etc. There is also an aftermarket source for the sabot. To my knowledge, the only caliber for the sabot is 30. | |||

Well guys, Those Rem Accelerators were listed as 4000 fps max, in the 30/06... hitting 4450 to 4500 fps with a 40 grain Bullet in the 22.250 and 220 Swift is not a hard accomplishment.. ( 34.5 grains of RL 7, will do it in a 22.250) if you don't mind having the life of the brass being about 2 or 3 shots.. you can hit 4750 with the 22.250 and a 40 grain bullet...and it actually is pretty darn accurate..

There is that metric 5,6x57 mm cartridge which should allow for even greater velocities. There is a barrle for the Blaser K95 single shot for sale somewhere in Austria. Problem is, what would I shoot with such a cartridge? Blow up feral cats or crows, maybe? | |||

I cracked 4000fps with a 46gr aluminium, hollow base, drive band, spitser in a 30-06. I used it a couple of times to mess around with guys who had chronographs set up. It was a hoot to make them believe the chrono is not reading reliably. | |||

we tested rbcd and if you rub the molly coat off their 223 round you find a balistic tip hiding under it not magic metal bullets. VERITAS ODIUM PARIT | |||
