The Oracle
If you have a 22 lr and a 16 in barrel shooting:
CCI Mini Mag and CCI Stinger, which one will hit the hardest (deliver more energy on target) at 50 yards?
CCI states the Mini Mags with a 40gr Round Nose run 1235 fps
The Stingers with a 32gr Hollow Point run 1640 fps.
And... If it's not to much trouble, is whatever you came up with linear across all distances: i.e. will the cartridge that is the fastest at 50 yards be the fastest at 70 yards? At 30? Or... Is there a distance at which the energy level flips like the Creedmoor catches up to and passes lighter, faster bullets at longer distances?
I'm trying to figure out (scientifically and mathematically) if the lighter and faster Stinger hits harder at 50 yards than the slower and heaver Mini Mag.
I'm using a 16 1/8 inch barrel in this hypothetical and assume CCI is using a longer test barrel so I expect my actual velocity and energy to be lower but the ballistics calculator should at least tell me which cartridge between the 2 hits the hardest at 50.
Thanks.
