40MM saluting Cannon using the (B650) rounds, what is the maximum range of fire?
601881
tough question. I was able to find this about a 40MM cannon....\n\n\nCalibre: 40 mm\nMass of round: 0.900 kg\nMass of the system: 522 kg (without ammunition)\nMaximum range: 7160 m against aerial targets\nMuzzle velocity: 881 m/s\nRate of fire: 120 round/min\n\nThe Bofors 40 mm gun is a famous anti-aircraft autocannon designed by the Swedish firm of Bofors. It was one of the most popular medium-weight anti-aircraft systems during World War II, used by most of the western Allies as well as various other forces. It is often referred to simply as the Bofors gun.\n\nI know this isint the cannon you are talking about but its a start.

The area would depend on the size of the warhead on the missle.  If the missle's blast radius is 500 yards then you would keep 1000 yards clear in all directions.  And so on for stronger or weaker warheads.

Bound's hubby here:\n\nYour VSS should be a very accurate rifle. I have read a number of articles over the years about how high powered rifles could be shot with cast loads to shave the shooting costs. It was not until I started casting my own handgun bullets (especially for magnum rounds) and bullets for my BPCR loads, that I fully understood the dynamics of cast bullet shooting. \n\nWhen I shoot my 700 Varmint for 1000 yard matches, my 175 gr. Sierra MatchKing trucks along at about 2550 fps. Your cast bullet should move along no faster than about 1100 fps if the bullet is not hard cast and not wearing a gas check. If the bullet is hard cast and wearing a gas check, you might be able to push the velocity to about 1600 fps. Do not even expect the cast bullet to be on paper with the same sight settings as your jacketed loads ... just isn't going to happen! Expect your cast loads to be good for about 50 ft of accuracy (to 50 ft in distance, not 50 ft. groups!). \n\nOne thing I would do is to check your bore ... if it looks like the barrel turned to silver, and there is not noticeable rifling, you have filled the rifling with lead and need to remove it! This would be because the bullets were not hard cast, and were too soft! A very long and tedious task! If this is the case, you have saved no money with your practice rounds!\n\nFor the rare occassions when I get to practice with my Varmint/Target rifle, I load up surplus 147 grain FMJBT bullets. As you know, the bullet is the largest expense in reloads. You can get the 147s real cheap (make sure they have lead cores, not steel cores).

The .308 Norma Mag. is not currently loaded by the big U.S. ammo companies, but it is available from Norma. Norma factory loads for the .308 Magnum drive a 200 grain Vulkan bullet to a muzzle velocity (MV) of 2903 fps and muzzle energy (ME) of 3744 ft. lbs. At 200 yards the velocity is 2361 fps and the kinetic energy is 2476 ft. lbs.\n\nNaturally, the .308 Norma is at its best with the slower burning powders. Reloaders can essentially equal the Norma factory load, and have access to many more bullet weights. Loading data can be found in most of the major reloading manuals.\n\nAccording to the 26th edition of the Hodgdon Data Manual the .308 Mag. can drive a 150 grain bullet to a MV of 3090 fps with 79.0 grains of H1000 powder, and 3279 fps with 83.0 grains of H1000. A 165 grain bullet can be driven to MV of 2939 fps by 75.0 grains of H1000 powder, and 3123 fps by 79.0 grains of H1000. A 180 grain bullet can achieve a MV of 2769 fps in front of 72.0 grains of H1000 powder, and 2940 fps in front of 76.0 grains of the same powder. Hodgdon reports a pressure of 51,900 cup for the latter load. Velocities for all of the above loads were measured in a 26" barrel.\n\nThe sixth edition of the Hornady Handbook shows that their potent 220 grain InterLock bullet can be driven at a MV of 2300 fps by 60.5 grains of RL-25 powder, and to a MV of 2800 fps by a maximum charge of 75.1 grains of RL-25. The latter is 100 fps faster than the top velocity attainable with this bullet in the .300 Rem SAUM, .300 WSM, or .300 Win. Magnum. These Hornady loads used Norma brass, WLRM primers, and were tested in a rifle with a 24" barrel.\n\nThe reloader will find that the .308 Norma will handle bullets heavier than 180 grains every bit as well as (or better than) the .300 Win. Magnum, and considerably better than the new short .300 WSM and .300 Rem. SAUM cartridges. Due to its combination of standard length, a longer neck than most of its competitors, and excellent Norma brass, the .308 Norma Magnum may be the all-around best .300 Magnum cartridge for the dedicated reloader.

My friend, in my opinion, you have one of the finest .44 magnum revolvers ever made. The 329PD was designed to be the strongest and lightest weight .44 mag. revolver on the planet. With a titanium cylinder and the scandium alloy frame, which by the way has a strength to weight advantage of 70% over steel, it is safe to shoot any weight or  type of round you want. But like any gun, if you give it a continuous diet of hot ammo, it will loosen up sooner or later.\nShooting a .44 mag. 320gr.HC bullet @ 1175fps, you must be doing some serious handgun hunting!\nSo, go ahead and fire away. Have fun and be safe!!!

Well a .22 can travel over a mile so make sure you have a god way to stop the bullet. I'd say for hunting you're not going to shoot at anything much over 150 yards so I'd say 200 yards with a very good backstop.\n\nn3

Bound's hubby here:\n\nFirst, welcome to the club! You will enjoy high power rifle shooting!\n\nMost rifle competitors are not opposed to varmint rifles, we know their limitations, and because of those liitations, most varmint rifles are not suited to high power rifle competition. To better understand this, you need to be aware of the games.\n\nNRA High Power Rifle -\nCourse of fire:\n200 yards standing - 10 or 20 shots, 1 minute per shot.\n200 yards rapid fire - standing to sitting -1 or 2 10 shot strings, 50 seconds per string\n300 yards rapid fire - standing to prone - 1 or 2 10 shot strings, 60 seconds per string\n600 yards prone - 20 shots, 1 minute per shot\nTypes of rifles: Service Rifle (M1, M14/M1A, M16/AR15) or Match Rifle (Bolt action rifles, semi-autos, or service rifles beyond criteria for service rifles [i.e.: the "Space Gun"])\nSpecial criteria for bolt guns ... the ability to rapid reload with a 5 shot stripper clip.\nSights: Micrometer adjustable metallic sights only.\n\nNRA Long Range Rifle -\nCourse of fire:\nPalma Match\n800 yards - slowfire prone - 15 shots in 15 minutes, \n900 yards - slowfire prone - 15 shots in 15 minutes, \n1000 yards - slowfire prone - 15 shots in 22 minutes. \n(Above course of fire fired with micrometer adjustable metallic sights only - with Match Rifle or Service Rifle)\n\n1000 yards - slowfire prone - 20 shots in 30 minutes\n(Above course of fire fired with Service Rifle [iron sights only] or Match Rifle [iron sights AND any sights (scopes permitted)]\n\nWhy "Varmint" rifles are typically not used! \n1. Most varmint rifles of current production do not have their receivers "cut" to accept stripper clips, necessary for rapid fire stages of matches.\n2. Varmint rifles (of the .22 genre ... .222 Rem, .222 Rem Mag, .223 Rem) have rifling twists of 1 revolution in 12", which is too slow of a twist rate to stabilize heavier bullets necessary for longer ranges (to 600 yards or beyond)\n3. Varmint rifles capable of being used for Long Range matches are really limited to the .308, which can reach out safely to 1000 yards, all other varmint cartridges can not safely be kept at supersonic velocities out to 1000 yards, which is necessary to stabilize the bullets at 1000 yards.\n\nRifles better suited to NRA High Power and Long Range competitions:\nService Rifles\na) M1 Garand - most competitors started with the Garand. It can be purchased for between $300 (no wood) to $550 from the Civilian Marksmanship Program (see CMP link, below). Depending on whether you do it yourself, or you send it out, the Garand can be made competitive for between $600 to $1500 above the cost of the rifle.\nb) M1A [civilian version of the M14] can be purchased match ready, out of the box, for about $2100 from Springfield Armory (see SA link, below)\nc) AR15 or its variants, can be purchased match ready, out of the box, for about $1000 from Bushmaster or Armalite (see link for Armalite [AR], below). NOTE: the AR can safely be used to 600 yards, if you have a barrel twist of 1 in 7" or 1 in 8". The AR with the same barrel could be pushed for 1000 yard shooting, but NOT safely!\n\nMatch Rifles:\na) The AR15 based "Space Gun" can be purchased or built for between $800 and $1500 ... requires metallic micrometer adjustable sights. Complete rifles and components can be purchased from NUMEROUS suppliers and dealers. The space gun in .223 is NOT a safe consideration for 1000 yard shooting!\nb) Varmint Rifles from Remington, Winchester, or other suppliers in .308 Winchester or larger .30 chamberings. Base rifles can be purchased for about $700. All would require, at a minimum, the following modifications and/or upgrades:\n1) High comb "marksman"-style stock\n2) Micrometer adjustable metallic sights and bases\n3) High quality target scope with long range base\n4) Target grade/quality trigger\n[All of the above modifications could run $1000 to $2000, plus cost of

Bound's hubby here: \n\nFirst, remember the PA law that requires the use of manually operated firearms... no semi-autos. This leaves you with two styles of handgun, revolvers and single shot pistols. Keep in mind your typical shot will be at about 40-50 yards, you will need to be able to hit a 6 inch target consistently at your maximum distance. \n\nIn revolver .357 Mag is the absolute minumum to use. A .41 or .44 Mag or a .45 Long Colt would be better. \n\nIn single shot pistols (the Thompson Center Contender) any rifle cartridge barrel could do, but I would suggest the .30-30 barrel. You will get close to the same performance as a .30-30 rifle in a handgun. \n\nGood luck.

Let a tanker answer this one. An MLRS is great if you want to rain death on someone from 50 miles out, but it also has a minimum range, and is actually not heavily armored enough to survive most knock down, drag-out fights an Abrams is likely to find itself in. In an up close and personal situation, the MLRS is basically useless. The Abrams on the other hand, can kill just about anything from point blank range out to over two miles. Even if the enemy gets close enough to render the main gun ineffective, a tank still has three machine guns to blow their asses away. At close range, any tank is better than any artillery piece. Period.

i use CB caps for what you are doing.  it's a regular long rifle case with just primer and a smaller bullet.  CCI makes them, and i bought a brick from cabelas.  it shoots a 20 grain bullet at about 900 fps, no noise either.  i can hear the hammer fall.

The AK-47 fires the M43 7.62x39mm round.  It has a muzzle velocity of 710 m/s, and muzzle energy of 2,010 joules.\n\nThe AR-15 family of assault rifles as used by the USA fires the M855 5.56x45mm round.  It has a muzzle velocity of 930 m/s and muzzle energy of 1,700 joules.\n\nThe M43 round has more energy and retains that energy (power) out to further ranges.  The M885 round is more accurate.  Bullet design comes into play as the M43 round tends to produce very clean wounds, whereas the high velocity M885 round tends to tumble and fragment when hitting a target, producing larger wound cavities.

Check with your local state fish and game department. In many states its illegal to take  big game using a rimfire cartridge.\n\nThe avg velocity of a .22 rimfire cartridge is 900-1200 feet per second. Not much in foot pounds of muzzle energy (which is what you would use to determine it effective use). \n\nAny cartridge is lethal.\n\nRegister to enroll in a Hunter Education class and learn more about  the right equipment, the ethical taking of game and the benefits hunting has on animal populations.

My preferance between the two would be the .308.  There's a great deal of ammunition for this caliber in a wide range of bullet types and weights to suit any need you might ever have.  Since it is a standard NATO chambering (7.62mm), there is a great deal of cheap, high quality ammunition to practice with avalible. It is a very accurate cartridge and is capable of taking almost any large game in North America.  You can even hunt smaller game if you like by selecting a lower bullet weight loading. You can't go wrong with a .308 anyway you look at it!

Depends on the bullet and its grain.The average velocity of a 12 pdr projectile was around 900 fps with a range of \n1800 yards. ...  Field Howitzer shell

maximum effective range at a point target is 550 meters.  at an area target is 800 meters.  Maximum range is around 3500 meters (meaning you can hit something that far out, but it's a big crapshoot).
