The details..

Ballistics Tables for Rifles and Handguns is a comprehensive guide to understanding the performance of different types of ammunition. The author, Bob Forker, has compiled extensive data on cartridge dimensions such as length, case head diameter, powder chamber size etc., which are crucial factors that affect bullet velocity and accuracy.

The book contains tables listing all this information along with pressure readings taken from transducers installed in proof barrels during testing. These measurements give readers an idea about how much energy each round generates when fired from a gun at its maximum chamber pressure.

In addition to technical details about cartridges themselves Ballistics Tables also covers topics like projectile commencement rifling angles (the angle between grooves), collar lengths (distance between base of bullet & start point), junction cone angles (angle formed by intersection of bore axis & ogive surface) . This makes it useful not only for shooters but also engineers who design firearms or ammunition components.

Overall Ballistic Tables is an essential reference work for anyone interested in guns or shooting sports. Its wealth of accurate data presented clearly will help both novice shooters looking to choose their first firearm as well as experienced hunters seeking optimal performance from their weapons.
