That will vary depending on the weight of the bullet, length of barrel, etc. Most will run 2800-300 feet per second. However, there was one special .308, the Remington Accelerator, that fired a 55 gr .25 caliber bullet in a plastic sabot, that had speeds around 4,100 fps.
Yes, the bullet fired from a recoiling rifle typically has a greater velocity compared to the rifle itself.
About 3,400 yards.
The Savage .308 rifle can typically accommodate a range of bullet grains. It is important to check the specific firearm's manual or consult with a knowledgeable gunsmith to determine the optimal bullet weight for your rifle based on factors such as barrel twist rate and intended use. Generally, bullet weights between 150 and 180 grains are commonly used in a .308 rifle.
It fires a 7.62x51mm NATO bullet, which is similar to a .308 Winchester.
None... it is the same sized bullet (.308 diameter). You have to choose the selection of bullet when reloading 30-30 ammo for the type of bullet. A pointed bullet in a tubular magazine can present a problem when the rifle recoils. The ammo is not interchangable, you must shoot the ammo that the rifle was chambered for.
Yes, when a bullet is fired from a rifle, the bullet typically has greater momentum and kinetic energy compared to the rifle. This is due to the bullet's higher velocity and lower mass compared to the rifle.
The .45 caliber bullet is not used in a sniper rifle.
The force exerted on the bullet and the recoil force against the rifleman, are equal to each other (for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction). The bullet has a very small mass, and the rifle/rifleman possess a large mass, force is equal to one half mass times velocity squared, F=m/2*v^2. So velocity of the bullet is the square root of twice force divided by mass, small mass equals large velocity. Another way of looking at this problem is to invoke the law of the conservation of momentum: mass(bullet)*muzzle_velocity(bullet) = mass(rifle)*recoil_velocity(rifle). This is an approximation that neglects the momentum carried away the propellant (both spent and unburned) that exits the muzzle after the bullet.
The effective range of a .308 bullet depends on the specific load, rifle, and shooter skill, but generally ranges from 800 to 1000 yards for accurate shooting on a human-sized target. Beyond this distance, the bullet's energy and accuracy decrease significantly.
Yes- it is called a SABOT ( pronounced say-bow). It permits a .22 caliber bullet (not cartridge, BULLET) to be loaded into a .308 cartridge casing.
Before the shot, total momentum of the rifle/bullet system is zero. Momentum is conserved, so must total zero after the shot. Magnitude of momentum = m V (mass, speed); we'll take care of direction independently. Momentum of the rifle: m V = (3.8) x (2.4) = 9.12 kg-m/sec backwards. We need momentum of the bullet = 9.12 kg-m/sec forward m V = 9.12 ===> V = ( 9.12 / m ) = ( 9.12 / 0.013 ) = 701.54 m/s forward
The momentum of the bullet fired from a rifle is greater than the momentum of the rifle's recoil. This is because the bullet has a higher velocity and mass compared to the rifle, resulting in a greater momentum.
