Rifle Cartridge Comparison
Common rifle cartridges, from the largest .50BMG to the smallest .22LR

Table of selected handgun, submachine gun, rifle and machine gun cartridges by common name. Data values are the highest found for the cartridge, and might not occur in the same load (e.g. the highest muzzle energy might not be in the same load as the highest muzzle velocity, since the bullet weights can differ between loads).

Legend

  • Factory loadings. Number of manufacturers currently producing complete cartridges - e.g. Norma, RWS, Hornady, Winchester, Federal, Remington, Sellier&Bellot, Prvi Partizan. May be none for obsolete and wildcat cartridges.
  • H/R: Handgun or Rifle - dominant usage of the cartridge (although several dual-purpose cartridges exist)
  • Size: Metric size - may not be official
  • MV: Muzzle velocity, in feet-per-second
  • ME: Muzzle energy, in foot-pounds
  • P: Momentum, in pound-foot per second.[1] A guide to the recoil from the cartridge, and an indicator of bullet penetration potential. The .30-06 Springfield (at 2.064 lb-ft/s) is considered the upper limit for tolerable recoil for inexperienced rifle shooters.[2]
  • Chg: Propellant charge, in grains
  • Dia: Bullet diameter, in inches
  • BC: Ballistic Coefficient, G1 model
