Mastiff 7 Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 This may be an odd question but one of the clubs I'm thinking of joining has what seems to me quite stringent restrictions on what can be fired at the range. Max caliber = 0.455 Max velocity = 2000 ft/sec max energy = 1496 ft/lb Is the max velocity / energy going to seriously limit caliber or can ammunition be bought to comply for any given caliber? Yes you are right, I haven't got a clue! Cheers, Mick. 1 Quote Link to post
clint 45 Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 Most calibre can be run slower with lighter head shape & less charge. Alway look in recommed book, too low is as dangerous ,as also too high loads !! For egample 22 centre fire with 7gr of charge, is possible , also 762 with 11gr is also possible on indoor range. You must refer to download data. I use 311 calibre from 70gr to 210gr 50 yard to 600metre target, using diffrent burn powder. Start low, & get data here. http://www.reloadersnest.com/index.asp Quote Link to post
Mesarya 2 Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 mickjbriggs I am member of a rifle club, it is outdoor 100yrd max and same strictions apply for my club. High velocity rounds not permitted. Can only use high velocity rounds in my case MOD range at Bisley. You might find similar rules apply most clubs. Quote Link to post

Thanks Gents, Forgive me if I'm being dumb but I'm still not sure of the answer, can low velocity rounds be purchased for all calibres? Mick. Quote Link to post
clint 45 Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 Most factory ammo from shop not suitable, you must reload you own ammo. regards Quote Link to post
