Perhaps.
Im a no-funner who has no experience with ballistics, so something that I could use as a reference to rule out trollposts would be nice.
Still gonna download and add it to the collection thou

>>33285532
some of those prices, particularly 5.56x45 look off

>>33285782
I just took the cheapest prices from luckygunner for bulk ammo because they calculate per round.

>>33285771
Ill update it when someone thinks of a /k/lassy title.

No need for a classy title.
A simple "info and prices are takien from X (see link here:https://) from march 2017".
I think that would be the cherry on top.

>>33285532
Try and make it more consistent between whether joules and ft/lbs is in parentheses.

Also, those .38 Special loads are extremely poor representatives of the cartridge. Not a single one of them is a +P load, one of them is for a 158 grain lead round nose that fell out of favor over 50 years ago and is barely used today, and one of them is a 200 grain lead round nose that I've never even heard of anyone actually using.

>>33285887
Pick one from here you feel is more accurate.

AK-47s confirmed more powerful than AR-15s?

Wtf no .30-06?

>>33286163
I can add it, but I need 2 other of the most popular rifle rounds to balance it out.

>.223? and _______
>no .50 BMG

>>33286163
It was originally supposed to be handguns only but fuck it.

How about:
>.30 carbine
>5.56
>7.62
>.308
>.30-06
>.30-30

Are these the most common rifles people would realistically own?

I guess Ill do a .22 row too even though its kinda retarded...

Should I use these rounds plus the .22s? Speak now or forever rest in piss!

What about 12 gauge and stuff?

>>33286106
>Pick one from here you feel is more accurate.

I would use these 5 as representative examples of .38 Special:

>Hornady 38 Special FTX 110 grain 249 ft/lbs 1010 fps

>Blazer Brass FMJ FN 125 grain 208 ft/lbs 865 fps

>Magtech 38 Special SJHP 158 grain 230 ft/lbs 807 fps

>Winchester 38 Special +P T-Series 130 grain 247 ft/lbs 945 fps

>Buffalo Bore 38 Special +P LSWCHP 158 grain 474 ft/lbs 1162 fps

They are, respectively, a low-recoil non +P carry ammo, standard plinking ammo of decent quality, a non +P hollow point, full strength +P carry ammo, and the strongest .38 Special load available. It's a good spread.

It gets too complex.

>>33286416
Thx Ill try to work that in. What do you think about this list for the most practical/everyday rifle rounds? >>33286310

>>33286310
300 blackout too

>>33286465
>.30 carbine

I don't think I've seen any modern examples of guns chambered in this caliber. .45-70 or .300 Win Mag are better choices for inclusion, as they're among the most powerful commonly used/available rifle rounds.

>>33286507

I know this has gotten popular as of late, but is it at the level of a mainstream cartridge yet? I was under the impression that it's only really seen on ARs, and assembled ones at that.

>>33286507
>>33286576
Isnt 300 blackout a meme round?

>>33286576
Thanks im gonna use these. Working on it now.

5.56
7.62
.30-30
.308
.30-06
.300 win mag

>>33286163
I know! And no 6.5x55 or .260 Remington either?!

You know what would be really great? To see NIJ and GOST armor ratings compared and put on a single chart for ease of cross reference.

>>33285532
Where do you find 10mm for .34?
That's cheap even for FBI loads, full power is .50 to 1.00

>>33290228
Shop around
