Hey.
I thought I'd go Overkill's path;
Does anybody have a .50 Imp.BMG "Dummie" to sell me??
(what momentum will that cartridge have??)

I don't have one, however you might also try the discussion boards on www.fcsa.org (Fifty Caliber Shooters Association). They could probably help you if nobody here could.

A .700 BMG IMPROVED has a momentum nuber of 77 N/S. with a 1925 grain bullet at 2050. With a 26" barrel.

But i tell you momentum is not any good energy number of rifle bullets. Is not the POWER.

A 2-bore will have a momentum number of 100 N/S. with a half pound bullet at 1300 f/s. And a .577 TYRANNOSAUR will have a momentum number of 41 N/S. (750 grain bullet at 2750 f/s) And if the velocity of a 750 grain bullet would be 3500 f/s then the momentum will be only 52 N/S. I take a last example so you see that momentum isnt any good energy number of rifle bullets. A 750 grain bullet going at 7000 f/s yeah at 7000 f/s then the momentum is 100 N/S. like the 2-bore.

And every one here in the world has to know that if a 750 grain bullet is going at even 3500 f/s will hit so MUCH HARDER than a 2-bore.

If you use "Foot pounds energy" or "Joule" these are more for real. A 2-bore will have a energy of 19600 joule. And a .577 TYRANNOSAUR 17146 joule. And a .700 IMPROVED will have 24200 joule. With the 1925 grain bullet.

That really makes me sleep better, Overkill!!

I'm all out of words. He he.
