How fast is a 22 cal bullet?

The answer is dependant on the load and round.

What is the main difference between centerfire and rimfire ammunition?

It is a difference in the placement of the priming compound. This compound is sensitive to physical impact, and, being struck by the firing pin, explodes to ignite the gunpowder in the cartridge case. In the rimfire cartridge, the case, made of soft brass, has a folded rim. Primer compound placed inside that folded rim is exploded when the rim is pinched between the firing pin and the mouth of the chamber. Centerfire ammunition has the primer in a pocket at the rear center of the cartridge case. That case has harder brass, and is capable of handling higher pressures than rimfire ammunition. Centerfire ammunition can be reloaded after firing by replacing the primer, powder and bullet. Rimfire ammo is not generally reloadable.

Why are bullets made of lead?

Lead is commonly used in bullets because it is dense, which helps the bullet maintain momentum and penetrate targets effectively. Lead is also malleable, allowing it to deform upon impact, increasing the chances of causing damage to the target. Additionally, lead is relatively inexpensive and easy to work with, making it a practical choice for bullet manufacturing.

Can the Winchester 100 cal 308 use 7.62 ammo?

I wouldn't chance it, the difference between .223 Rem and 5.56 NATO is 20,000 psi of chamber pressure. With the 100 being a collector piece, I wouldn't take the risk of blowing the chamber or any other catastrophic failure. The NATO rounds have considerably more chamber pressure than the SAAMI rounds.

Please check for data from the powder manufacturer, the bullet manufacturer, or reloading manuals. Asking for load data from an anonymous open source such as WikiAnswers could be extremely dangerous, since anyone may answer a question here. I COULD be 12 years old, and Mom does not know I am using the computer.

Please see the link at the bottom of the page. Your powder is sold in the US as Hodgdon H4895. Have not seen loads for a 26 grain bullet.
