[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 803328, member: 25383"] I've always heard that a bullet accelerates for about 25 or 30 feet, then starts dropping off. I never bothered to prove or disprove this, but thinking about it from the physics end it should accelerate a little bit. How far I can't say. A good way to think about it is that if the bullet is still climbing (with the barrel level to the earth) then it has to still be gaining rpm's. Plus there is the resistence from the barrel's bore and rifeling with a build up of gas pressure. gotta think about that one as you maybe right. gary [/QUOTE]
