A rifle is fired and you are able to measure both the muzzle velocity of the bullet as well as the recoil velocity of rifle how do you explain the fact that the forward velocity of the bullet is great?

The forward velocity of the bullet is greater than the recoil velocity of the rifle because of Newton's third law of motion, which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When the bullet is fired forward with high velocity, the rifle experiences a recoil in the opposite direction but with lower velocity due to the mass difference between the bullet and the rifle.

How many mph does a 303 rifle bullet go?

I'm assuming you're talking about the .303 Savage (there's also a .303 British). It varies by a number of factors, with one of the foremost being barrel length. Generally speaking, you can expect a velocity of around 2,090 ft/s (bullet velocities are usually expressed in ft/s rather than mph), but the actual results could vary greatly, again dependent on a number of factors.

Who many Fps for a 233 caliber bullet?

Bullets alone have no velocity. The .223 CARTRIDGE, when fired from an M16 rifle, will drive its bullet at about 3,200 fps. However, velocity depends on the makeup of the cartridge (powder charge, bullet weight) , and which firearm it is fired from.
