what ft lb

[colin lad]

one for the expert's

after reading post on fox cartridge's i was wondering these cartridge's with AAA or ssg what weight are the individual shot and what sort of ft lb would one have,

if a ssg weighs something like a 40gr lr round and they are leaving the shotgun at 1200 fps ish then it must be like shooting a dozen or so lr rounds at once,

and then would they ricochet like an lr

just curious

Try hull cartridge website... they have a graph with energy for the pellets for all their cartridges.

just had a look it says the sg are 8.4mm but cant fine individual weight for shot

am i looking in the wrong place

I don't think there is weight for each shot, but look at the graph and hover mouse over the plotted points (I think from memory) and it gives energy at different distances. Add up how many pellets per cartridge for total muzzle energy. Probably about 2000 ft lb from memory.

thanks was trying to work chart out just tried that and my answer is there at 80 yards each pellet has 35 ft lb ish

interesting

In theory, it don't always work out so neat and even in practice. Academic really coz the pattern at 80 yards will make a vitals shot a matter of fluke

Purely for fun, at the muzzle (1200ft/sec) and at 80 yards (ft/lbs):

 

SSG is 93.3 and 31.1 ft/lbs and

 

AAA is 40 and 10.4.

 

And yes, they'll ricochet.

yeah was more thinking down the lines of ricocheting than shooting quarry at distances i know what you mean about fluky vital shot though
