according to winchester ballistic tables
250grain load casull (0.142 BC bullet) will drop 50 inches at 250 yards
from a handgun barrel, when zeroed at 100 yards
I think it will do better from a rifle
barrel. However, at 60,000psi the recoil is equivalent of
.338 winchester magnum of a 10 pound rifle.
So it does appear that what I was looking for simply
does not exist (I also wanted to clarify that 'less than 10 inch drop' I was looking for
I meant to be from a rifle barrel (20 inch or above), not from handgun barrel)
Interesting, that some handgun cartriges/revolvers are easily supporting high-pressure rounds
(over or around 50,000 - 55,000 psi) however for some reason the bullets they use are always heavy and therefore
droping very fast.
I imagine that someone has experimented with 50,000 psi
handgun cartrige that has 150 grain bullet that is workeable for both handgun and a rifle (may be bolt action
to allow pointed bullets). May be the 10mm was meant at one time to be like that
.
thank you for all the responses and very intersting info/experiences
