2441 feet per second when fired from the British SMLE rifle. Velocity will vary when fired from rifles with a longer or shorter barrel.
No.
When fired from a .303 rifle, it can travel ABOUT 2.5 miles.
The .303 Enfield rifle can fire a bullet about 2 to 2.5 miles- but is not accurate beyond about 600 meters.
The .45 caliber bullet is not used in a sniper rifle.
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.
303 was the .303 inch diameter bullet that was fired by the Short Magazine Lee Enfield- or SMLE. Standard rifle of the British military from 1907 to the1960s, and still in limited use today.
No. The L1A1 Self Loading rifle in in caliber 7.62 x51 mm (7.62 NATO) fires a rimless cartridge with a .308 bullet. The .303 Enfield cartridge is a different shape, has a rim, and fires a .311 bullet. If you compare the two cartridges, totally different in shape.
Bren gun, Lewis gun, SMLE rifle
The typical rifle bullet was .303 inch caliber. The same round was used in most of the light machine guns.
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.
22LR high velocity - MV= 1260 fps 17 HMR MV= 2550 fps A lot faster, huh?
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.
