Cartridge power — The cartridge power, whether magnum or just a larger amount of propellant will force the bullet out faster, and increase the muzzle velocity. High powered cartridges vastly increase the range the bullet will travel.
Barrel length — A longer barrel length, even with the same cartridge will produce a greater range for a bullet. When the propellant fires the bullet, the longer barrel gives the expansion of force behind the bullet a greater amount of time before dissipating. Once a bullet leaves a weapon he explosive kick is no longer there and immediately begins its journey towards deceleration.
To put it simply, a 22 pistol fired flat with 22 short ammunition, will not put the bullet downrange as far as a rifle firing 22 wmr aimed into the sky at a degree arc. Almost all the 22 pistols will be designed for the 22 short round, but many will take the 22LR round as well. So the actual question should be, how far does a 22 short or 22LR style ammunition travel?
With a pistol and short barrel loaded with 22 short, the bullet will probably travel around to m before hitting the ground. However, if you put a high velocity cartridge in their of the 22LR style then significant increases from even a handgun can be achieved. I suspect that is with a changed firing arc. All this is to say that that the bullet will travel quite a bit past where you are aiming. The accurate range for a pistol shot is less than 50m so we are talking about serious distance anomaly.
When you combine a slightly more powerful cartridge with the extended rifle barrel to aid muzzle velocity you will see the effect of a longer range. If you look at a typical 22LR ballistics chart like the one below, you can get an idea os how accurate the 22LR is in a rifle and pretty much gauge the distance that the bullet may travel. Additionally, this fits with the data I pulled from this bar graph. What it shows is that is you had a power cartridge in the 22LR caliber you have mostly flat trajectories till about yards m or so, when the round drops a few inches.
At yards m the round has dropped a meter. Maybe it is just because there are more of these firearms and weapons than any other caliber in the country. Regardless of reason why, it is a known fact that they are responsible for many human and animal deaths each year. A standard 22 round will penetrate a one half inch pine board at least yards which according to military standards, is enough energy to surpass the minimum requirement of around 50 ft lbs of energy necessary to create a mortal wound in a human.
The trajectory of bullet drop after yards is dramatic. Add to this the effect any wind might have on trajectory, as well as many other environmental factors and the challenge of hitting a decent sized target past becomes really tough. Most 22 ammo will show around an inch group size at 50 yards.
Factor this in and magnify it as distance increases and you might wonder how anyone can hit at long range. Not sure where you got the idea that a longer barrel increases accuracy — or that a longer barrel increases the spin of the bullet. A longer barrel, up to a point, will increase velocity, and increasing the barrel length beyond that point will begin to decrease the velocity as friction forces predominate over residual barrel pressure.
But that has to do with the shooter — not any inherent function of the internal ballistics related to barrel length. Obviously, as velocity increases, for a given rifling twist, the revolutions per second of the bullet will increase, imparting stability to a radially symmetrical bullet — but once a bullet is stabilized sufficiently over its external ballistic path through to the target, increasing the rate of spin can actually decrease accuracy by imparting forces not coaxial with the barrel or line of flight axis.
Spin decays at a much slower rate than velocity, so unless — in the case of. Hope this contributes to the post, and clarifies some of the physics and ballistics. Hi Michael — Definitely. When we have the Velocitors in-stock, we ship to Texas.
