or for those who can't / won't open an M$ Excel (tm) document:

I made these (not even vaugely complete) to roughly compare cartriges.
I found all the cross overs down in the pistol calibers very interesting. It really shows how much case space the heavier bullets take up and how much faster they cause pressures to rise.
I'm sure this will create endless speculation and arguments over bullet performance vs. available energy that have already been done to death so have fun ;)
