(Sometimes when I fool around, I just change numbers like burn length or chamber pressure to get the right output velocity, rather than hunting them down. That might break something somewhere else, of course.)
Thank you, I'll take a look again and see if I can decipher it now.


Regarding the ammo's comparative power, I chose types that had no more than +50% of the energy of a .30-06 (the WinMag). The Bushmaster is comparable to the .30-06 and the Raptor is about +20%.
