By weight, expressed in grains and by diameter expressed in thousandths of an inch (called caliber, ie .223) or in millimeters (5.56)
A chronograph is typically used to measure the speed of a bullet. This device calculates the bullet's velocity by timing how long it takes to pass through two sensors placed a known distance apart. The speed is then calculated based on this elapsed time.
The most obvious different is the 10mm bullet is smaller in diameter than the .45. A 10mm bullet is .40 of an inch and the .45 is .45 of an inch. Other differences, depending on exactly which cartridge you are referring to, are muzzle energy and velocity.
The force of the rifle on the bullet and the force of the bullet on the rifle are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction, according to Newton's third law of motion. However, the mass of the rifle is much larger than the mass of the bullet, so the acceleration of the rifle is much smaller compared to the acceleration of the bullet.
A .50 caliber bullet is measured by its diameter, which is half an inch (or approximately 12.7 millimeters). Measurement can be done using specialized calipers or micrometers. The caliber of a bullet refers to the diameter of the projectile it can fire.
Bullet speed is typically measured using a chronograph, which captures the time it takes for a bullet to travel a known distance. By measuring the time it takes for the bullet to pass through two sensors placed a specific distance apart, the velocity of the bullet can be calculated. Speed may be given in feet per second (fps) or meters per second (m/s).
There are a couple of different measurements. The weight of a bullet is normally expressed in grains. The diamater of the bullet is expressed in 10ths or 100th of an inch or in millimeters.
The bullet is 22/100ths of an inch in diameter.
7.62x39
The .22 caliber bullet is ABOUT .22 inches wide. A .32 bullet is about .32 inches wide. The bullet will also be heavier due to size.
Size of the bullet
It is .25 caliber.
There is no one answer- it depends on the rifle. They are generally less powerful than a full size battle rifle cartridge. The M16 rifle uses a 5.56mm bullet, the AK47 a 7.62mm bullet, etc.
Hodgdon load data shows a .452 bullet.
Yes, a bullet must be the same diameter as the barrel (unless it is a shotgun).
The term "762" refers to a 7.62mm bullet. This is a common size for European guns and the AK-47. The 54 refers to the length of the round or the powder, I forget. Not sure exactly what bullet this describes but that is the diameter size (caliber) of the bullet.
The size of a given bullet is determined by its diameter, and its weight. The size must match the size of the barrel it will be fired from, and heavier bullets will be longer. With cast lead bullets, after casting they are pushed through a machine called a die. This squeezes the bullet down to a precise diameter- this is called SIZING.
The diameter is 7.62 millimeters.
