Caliber Chart

[BigBear]

Is there a chart somewhere showing order of calibers from weak to strong?

My googlefu is off and I can't come up with anything.

Thanks.

Every once in a while, a chart like you are talking about is published in the back of a gun magazine. Look at the mags in the store enough times and you'll come across one. They are listed by caliber though.

Reloading manuals typically list calibers from smallest diameter to largest diameter of bullet; and then within the same bullet diameter bullet, from smallest case volume to largest case volume. That's probably the best way to categorize weakest to strongest that I can think of.

It is possible for a caliber with a smaller diameter bullet and lighter bullet to have a higher Ke output due to case capacity. For Example 7mm Rem Ultra Mag has a much flatter trajectory and higher Ke output than a .308 Winchester even though the 308 is spitting out a bigger and heavier bullet.

If you go to one specific manufacturer's website, even though it is only the data for the one brand, it will still give you a feel for how the different calibers relate to each other, in general.
