True, but it's a negligible amount for the purpose of my study. I'm hoping I can get each rd guess within 7 grains of an actual rd. Maybe more information about what I'm doing would be useful.
I often see people use weight as a reason on why one cartridge might be better than another. Very rarely does someone post any data about it (and when they do, it's very vague). Since I am unable to google a good source, I decided to make my own.
I decided to format the data in three ways: - Weight per magazine (1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10) - Weight per rd count (50, 100, 150, 200, 250, 500, 1000) - Rds per lbs (1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10)
I decided to use the following cartridges in 2 common bullet weights each: - 5.56 Nato (62, 77) - 6.8 SPC (110, 115) - 6.5 x 39 (108, 120) - 7.62 x 39 (123) (only 1 common) - .260 Rem (120, 130) - 7.62 Nato (168, 175)
I have written the excel spreadsheet already but I don't want to post the output until the input is more accurate.
I want to find before posting: 6.5 x 39 brass weight 7.62 x 39 brass weight Magazine weight: 5.56 nato (30 rd), 7.62x39 (30 rd), 7.62 Nato (20 rd) LR Primer Weight
The only mag that I can find the weight of is the Pmag 30rd. (0.3 lb.) Everything else I find is listed as relative to something else. (1.4 ounces heavier than standard, 40% lighter than standard, etc). I would like to use polymer mag weights in spreadsheet, but I am willing to do it in other materials. I don't expect 7.62 x 39 ever to come out in polymer, so that one can be whatever.
