Where can I find details of muzzle energy in ft/lbs or equivalent for different cartridges and bullet grain? So that I can easily compare the ‘power’ of different combinations of casing and bullet.
I know for example that a .454 Casull 260 gr has 1871 ft. lbs at the muzzle (7.5" barrel), whereas a .480 Ruger 325 gr has 1315 ft. lbs (a lot less, given a greater weight), but I want someting else to compare it to!
Am I right in thinking that the longer a barrel the higher muzzle velocity tends to be?
Does this get to a point where it starts to decrease, would say a 36" barrel slow the bullet or not?
