Bullet velocity and terminal performance
This video explains how bullets work and gives some shooting tips for your next target session. We look at ammunition components and how they affect terminal performance and velocity.
Why velocity and design matter
- Velocity: speed affects trajectory and how much energy a bullet carries downrange.
- Bullet design: construction decides how a bullet expands, penetrates or holds together.
- Match the load to the job: use hunting bullets for game and target bullets for the range.
