Special Notes:
1) This is an extremely sensitive caliber, please adhere closely to indicated loads and COL guidelines.
2) Allways begin loading at the MINIMUM "START" load and increase with 0.1grain increments
3) We strongly recommend using only FLATBASE bullets (especially in the Handgun)
4) When SP primers are to be used, a slightly lower performance can be expected
5) Add 10% to the above published velocities for the 10" barrel of the FN P90 PDW weapon
6) Excessive muzzle blast and flash is normal with this caliber

Displaying ammo collection. How to do it?

Posted by marlinman93:

Displaying ammo collection. How to do it?: "It's best to lay them out on a piece of colored hard board, or heavy cardboard. Find a large picture frame first, that will hold the number of cartridges you want to display. When you lay them all out, take a Sharpie, or fine tip pen, and put a dot on either side of each case. This will give you a mark to drill a small hole for a retaining wire. After drilling a hole for each cartridge, get some small copper wire, and push it through the holes, securing the cartridge to the board by twisting the wire together on the back.
Rainbow or circular patterns look better than straight rows. If you need more room, a small half circle inside of a larger half circle will get them all in. Try to type up labels to glue on beside each cartridge, to identify the caliber. This is similar to what the ammo makers did with their bullet boards in the past. If you want to get really creative, you could get a picture of a big game anaimal, and have it blown up as a background for your display board.
Good luck!"

"FN used and continue to use with Fiocchi a powder from Western Powders- label of 'RAMSHOT' for all of their factory loads. They use only two of the RAMSHOT line, these are Zip and True Blue.

SS190- 6.0 grains- Zip(plain tip) 6.5 grains-True Blue(black tipped)
SS191- 6.0 grains- Zip(plain tip) 6.5 grains-True Blue(black tipped)
SS192- 6.5 grains- True Blue
SS193- 2.0 grains- Zip
SS195- 7.0 grains- True Blue
SS196- 4.0 grains- True Blue
SS197- 5.5 grains- True Blue

And you ask...how and why Western Powders....

FN used/uses a Powder Manufacture called PB Clermont site:
http://www.pb-clermont.be/ which is a subsidery of Eurenco groupe SNPE from Belgium. This parent company also controls EURENCO Bofors- which is Alliant Powder in the USA, EURENCO Vihtavuori- which is Vihta Vuori distrbuted via Kaltron-Pettibone in the USA and EURENCO France- which is PB Clermont. PB Clermont distributes their powder via Western Powders and.......thus RAMSHOT."

Dear David:

Thank you for your question.
The problem you are addressing is an old one and it looks deceivingly
simple. We need to start mentioning Newton's Second Law. In the following
link there is a nice explanation about this subject:
ballistic trajectories

This page reads in part: 'In this lesson we will experiment with
computing and visualizing ballistic trajectories. A ballistic trajectory
is the path followed by an object which, after it is given some initial
velocity, travels only under the influence of gravity. For the purposes of
this lesson we will ignore the effects of air resistance.'

Well, ignoring air resistance, or, more generally, the medium resistance,
is a huge simplification. Nevertheless, we will go along for the moment.

The Ballistic Trajectory Problem
One of the first problems studied in an introductory physics class is the
ballistic trajectory problem. Let's assume that we are standing in a flat
field and that we throw a ball so that it starts out moving at some
velocity V > 0 and at some angle theta radians with the ground. At any
given time t, the ball's horizontal distance is given by

Vt cos (theta)

and its vertical height is given by

Vt sin(theta) - (1/2)gt^2

where g is the earth's gravitational constant, or 9.8 meters/sec/sec. This
assumes that the ball's initial ho"

THE SEARCH FOR HIGH VELOCITY

THE SEARCH FOR HIGH VELOCITY
THE SEARCH FOR HIGH VELOCITY
© Anthony G Williams
This is an amended version of an article which originally appeared in Guns Review International in instalments between May and September 1996
Since the introduction of smokeless ammunition powders and the high muzzle velocities which they made possible, there has been a constant search for improved ballistic performance for both civilian and military purposes. However, these searches have had different objectives which have led to different outcomes.
