Like. And a slug is what? Let me help you there..... 32.17404 lb, wow, gravity again.... How do you think it is derived. Whenever science...- MDriskill reacted to Scotchmo's post in the thread N/A Muzzle energy varies with pellet weight, WHY? with Love. Best that you make the distinction between lb weight and lbm. A slug is 32.17405 lbm. There are 7000 grains in a lbm. 7000 x...
- MDriskill reacted to Deerstalker's post in the thread N/A Muzzle energy varies with pellet weight, WHY? with Love. Copolit A slug is a unit of mass primarily used in the U.S. customary system. It's derived from the imperial unit of force, the...
- MDriskill reacted to Mycapt65's post in the thread N/A Muzzle energy varies with pellet weight, WHY? with Love. No problem Mike. You know I love you. The R1s disparity is somewhat extreme but not far from common losses when increasing weight and or...
- MDriskill replied to the thread HW/Weihrauch Plug Screw Availability.Back in the day, Weihrauch furnished simple flush-fitting blued grub screws for HW 55's, or other rifles sold sans breech-mounted...
- MDriskill replied to the thread N/A Muzzle energy varies with pellet weight, WHY?.Thanks Ron - very interesting as always! I should have offered the caveat that I mostly shoot lower-powered old-timey springers and...
- MDriskill reacted to Mycapt65's post in the thread N/A Muzzle energy varies with pellet weight, WHY? with Like. While theoretically that's true, a heavy pellet's BC seldom makes up for the lower muzzle energy in the distances springers are shot. My...
- MDriskill replied to the thread HW/Weihrauch Pellet Weight for Beeman R7.I've had the same experience - the AA Falcon is consistently excellent while its JSB sister design can vary. It's become a fave for my...
- MDriskill reacted to Mycapt65's post in the thread HW/Weihrauch Pellet Weight for Beeman R7 with Like. You can't use pellet weight comparisons between two different calibers. Because of the physics of the larger bore's cross section, a 22...
- MDriskill reacted to Mycapt65's post in the thread HW/Weihrauch Pellet Weight for Beeman R7 with Like. Truer words have never been said. Without a chronograph you're completely blind to what's going on inside the rifle. A chronograph is...
- MDriskill reacted to Mycapt65's post in the thread HW/Weihrauch Pellet Weight for Beeman R7 with Like. I think you mean 7.33. Those and the sister pellet, JSB RS 7.33s usually work great in most R7/Hw30 guns. The accuracy with the JSB...
- MDriskill replied to the thread N/A Muzzle energy varies with pellet weight, WHY?.I can't add to the excellent notes above - and this is a detour from the OP's question - but I would note that heavier pellets tend to...
- MDriskill reacted to dgeesaman's post in the thread N/A Muzzle energy varies with pellet weight, WHY? with Like. A Pumpmaster produces the same pressure behind the pellet until the pellet is gone. Heavier pellets just take longer. A spring piston...
- MDriskill reacted to dgeesaman's post in the thread N/A Muzzle energy varies with pellet weight, WHY? with Like. The physics of compressible flow is anything but freshman level. It’s probably not unlike flow through rocket nozzles.. I haven’t read...
- MDriskill reacted to bustachip's post in the thread N/A Muzzle energy varies with pellet weight, WHY? with Like. I always thought the constant was 450240.
