Barrel length can significantly impact bullet velocity in firearms. Bullet velocity is primarily influenced by two factors: barrel length and the burn rate of the gunpowder. Here’s how it works. Burn Rate of Gunpowder Gunpowder generates the high-pressure gas that propels a bullet down the barrel of a firearm, and its burn rate determines how […]

The ballistic coefficient (BC) is a critical parameter for ammunition, especially in long-range shooting. It’s a measure of how well a projectile can maintain its velocity and trajectory stability as it travels through the air. A higher ballistic coefficient means a bullet will perform better in terms of range, accuracy, and resistance to external factors […]

Ammo headstamps are the markings on the base of a cartridge case or shell casing. These markings provide valuable information about the ammunition, including its caliber, manufacturer, and sometimes even the year of production. Understanding headstamps is important for shooters, collectors, and anyone who wants to identify the type of ammunition they’re dealing with. Here’s […]
