[QUOTE="groper, post: 374502, member: 12550"] well my thoughts go somthing like this... recently, all the shared military/sporting ranges in QLD were effectively restricted to 5.56mm until the new range inspector went thru every range and inspected them all and was happy enough to lift the restriction provided the range satisfied the requirements. Thing is, my local range, (and most others) now have the following limits in place; 1. the muzzle velocity of any permitted firearm on the range must be no greater than 1000m/s (3280fps) and; 2. The muzzle energy must not exceed 7000 Joules which is calulated by - 0.5 X (velocity squared in m/s X projectile weight in kg) To put this in perspective, my 300SMK load in my 338 edge = 7200 J. if i back off the powder charge by 1 grain or 2, it will be permissible. The thought that occured to me is that they are systematically indirectly reducing the means with which we can justify our genuine reasons to own our firearms... sux to own guns in australia....
