So..... bored out of my mind this weekend, I looked at 73 of the most popular caliber offerings out there. Well, at least according to the mighty Chucky Hawks. Looking at everything from the 204 Ruger to the 460 Weatherby Magnum
Range of bullet weights from 33 gr to 500
MV from 4,225 (204 Ruger) to 1330 (45-70)
Energy 7504 (460 WM) to 723 (22 Hornet)
And what would the average cartridge look like??
It would be going 2798.8 FPS and have a MV of 2,851.9 Ft/Lb with a bullet weighing 180.43 grains
Yep, you guessed it. A 30-06 with 180's
How that for some boring data?
