Daren - just for the heck of it, I refined the numbers by working backwards. I do NOT expect the bullets to expand and would only take precise right behind the ear shots to hit the CNS. Im zeroed at 50 yards and at 100 yards my high velocity ammo ( 1250-1300 f. Unfortunately, I haven’t had the chance to test terminal performance on a pig with the ammo yet. Running a 50 yard zero I could easily bang the 8″ plate in low center by holding to the top of the plate. Grouping was around 1″ at 50 yards with an Aimpoint T1 and around 2″ at 100″ yards. I chronoed both loads and they stayed subsonic with two different suppressors on them and cycled fine in this rig. I ended up getting some of the 208g AMAX and 220g Sierra and have fired them in this build. You can tell a lot from someone by their actions. He also has bent over backwards helping people out with load data and general advice. His advice on handloading has always been spot on and in line with my findings on several cartridges. While I had not personally used any of his ammo I have been paying attention to what he posts and how he interacts with people on the Texashuntingforum. I was familiar with the work done by Chad at DallasReloads and gave him a ring. I ran a 11″ Wilson Combat 1/8 twist barrel and needed some good ammo to test the platform with. This is the reason why planes traveling faster than the speed of sound create sonic booms.I did a recent project building up a 300 Blackout pistol. They cannot go faster than the speed of sound. So if you put a speaker at the front of the 1,000 mph train, the sound waves will not depart the train at 1,700 mph. The waves propogate through the air at that fixed speed, and they can go no faster. If you turn on the stereo in your living room, sound waves "shoot out" of the speaker at the speed of sound - something like 700 mph. What's true for bullets, however, is not true of some other things that you might "shoot" from the front of the train. Relative to the ground, the bullet will not be moving at all, and it will drop straight to the ground. If you shoot the bullet off the back of the train, the bullet will still be moving away from you and the gun at 1,000 mph, but now the speed of the train will subtract from the speed of the bullet. So if the bullet hits something on the ground, it will hit it going 2,000 mph. Hornady® Subsonic Ammunition designed for accuracy and performance below the speed of sound now comes in both rifle and handgun loads. But, relative to the ground, the bullet will travel at 2,000 mph, the speed of the bullet plus the speed of the train. ![]() If you go to the front of a train that is moving at 1,000 mph and shoot the gun forward, the bullet will move away from you and the train at 1,000 mph, just as it would if the train were stopped. So what does this mean for our gun? If the gun shoots bullets at 1,000 mph, then the bullet will always move away from the gun at 1,000 mph. So the ball behaves exactly as it would if you were standing on the ground and not moving. Since you and the ball are already moving at the same speed as the train, the only forces acting on the ball are your hand and gravity. If you throw a ball straight up in the air, it will come straight back down whether the train is sitting still or going 1,000 mph. You would have no way of knowing how fast you are going (or if you were moving at all). Imagine you are on a perfectly smooth speeding train, moving at a uniform speed (not accelerating or turning), in a car with no windows. We could rephrase this a little and say that a body in motion tends to stay in motion and a body at rest tends to stay at rest unless acted on by an external force. "Every body persists in its state of rest or of uniform motion in a straight line unless it is compelled to change that state by forces impressed on it." ![]()
