Gav 1,708 Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 You can also work out your ft/lbs with the grain and velocity, I did have a site bookmarked with a good calculator on it but it seems to have dissapeared .. Quote Link to post
stillair1 16 Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 fps x fps x weight(GN) / 450240 ie 600x600x14.3 divided by 450240 =11.43ftlb. Quote Link to post
