Dear All - as I have been a reloader of them pesky cartridgey things for very many years, as well as shooting proper weapons, I thought that I would share a very useful site with you. With an increasing interest in quite what happens AFTER the boom and cloud of smoke, many of you are now quite rightly expressing some concern as to whether or not your ball or bullet has the necessary oooomph to do the biz on the target in a humane manner. This little site will help you to decide if you are shooting the right gun with the right charge...

Just enter the weight of the shot and the velocity, and click - and the muzzle energy is right there for you to see.
I posted a similar site a couple of weeks ago, about the ballistics of a round ball, and the silence was deafening, many, I could tell, were agog with indifference. Maybe this will open your eyes a bit, and if it doesn't, well, it's not my fault.
Best wishes
