<strong>Comparison</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>different</strong> <strong>calibers</strong><br />
In long-range shooting, down range velocity is one <strong>of</strong> those things which sorts out<br />
true long range ammunition out from the rest.<br />
Velocity [m/s]<br />
Greater down range<br />
velocity means also<br />
better penetration and<br />
less sensitivity for<br />

<strong>Comparison</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>different</strong> <strong>calibers</strong><br />
Effectiveness <strong>of</strong> sniper rifle system is based on ammunition,<br />
its downrange ballistics and downrange penetration.<br />
Straight bullet path<br />
means longer effective<br />
range and reduced<br />
influence <strong>of</strong> errors with<br />
range estimation<br />
