.223 ft/lbs at 100 yards.. how to calculate?

<< < (5/9) > >>

Burnsy87:
Fair enough.  I just would prefer 70gr.

SS_N_NE:
Since the Ft/Lb @ 100 yards is generally a hunting requirement in NE. I am going to ask...how does the DNR decide?

For instance...you are hunting with your AR....stopped by DNR...you show them the box your ammo came from...how do they deside you have the proper ammo to make the foot/pounds?

Burnsy87:
^ Yeah that's a good question

tstuart34:
I would say you wouldn't get picked up for this unless your have a mall cop dnr guy or they are stacking charges on you.....

If they wanted to question your loads they would have to do the same method as we are disscusing. Set a crono have you shoot through it and calculate it out. There are way to many variables just base things off of calculations of boxed ammo. Barrel material, rifling, and coatings all make a difference in velocity.

That is basically what I was referring to with my questions. The DNR sets a regulation, but doesn't specify the method of verification. Most likely you could be charged and would have the burden of proof in your defense.  A classic case of too much law.
