The gun powder does not detonate, it burns.
There are any number of things NOT found in a centerfire rifle cartridge. However, what WILL be found is a centerfire primer, a cartridge case, powder and bullet.
That would PROBABLY be the first rifle to use a smokeless powder cartridge- the French 8mm Lebel.
The caliber of the cartridge, type of powder, and intended use. Some are noise makers, some have to cycle the action of a weapon, and some launch rifle grenades.
No. The 1903 Springfield was initially chambered in the 30-03 cartridge, later modified to the 30-06 cartridge. The latter cartridge is still manufactured and very popular. Virtually all firearms after 1895 shoot smokeless powder.
Black Powder. When the brass cartridge was developed, it also used Black Powder. But the metal used to make the rifle barrels became stronger so they could take more pressure. An improved powder was developed that burned hotter and was smokeless; thus it was called Smokless Powder.
Depends on the cartridge, Early cartridges used black powder, Modern cartridges use smokeless powder, based on nitrocellulose and nitroglycerin. There are hundreds of different smokeless powders that have different recipes, grain shapes, and burning rates.
Components include a cartridge case, a primer, powder and projectile- a bullet or shot.
All firearms need: A projectile such as a bullet, gun powder to propel the bullet out of the barrel of the gun, and a cartridge to hold them together. Gun powder only explodes and the force from the explosion propels the bullet out of the barrel, basically. The cartridge is disposed of thereafter. A bullet will not move unless the gunpowder behind it explodes. This is the basic operation of a firearm/rifle.
The proper term is CARTRIDGE- bullet is the part of a cartridge that is fired from the barrel. There is no one answer to your question- it will depend of which .50 CAL cartridge- and then it depends on the loading of that particular cartridge (different bullet weights will have different powders/ amounts)
The bolt action was created as a repeating rifle capable of firing a powerful cartridge.
The correct term is cartridge- which is the cartridge case, primer, powder, and bullet. A sniper rifle is simply an accurate, long range rifle that is used by a sniper. It may look exactly like my long range hunting rifle- since most military sniper rifles BEGAN as a civilian hunting weapon.
