Pellet Velocity Calculator:

Enter the values of Muzzle Energy ME_(ft-lbs) & Pellet Weight PW_(grains) to determine the value of Pellet Velocity PV_(ft/sec).

Pellet Velocity Formula:

The Pellet Velocity PV_(ft/sec) in feet per second is equal to the SQRT of the Muzzle Energy ME_(ft-lbs) in feet to lbs into multiply the value of 450240 and is Divided by the Pellet Weight PW_(grains) in grains.

The Formula of Pellet Velocity can be writtern as,

PV_(ft/sec) = SQRT ( ME_(ft-lbs) * 450240 / PW_(grains) )

Here,

PV_(ft/sec) = Pellet Velocity in feet per second

ME_(ft-lbs) = Muzzle Energy in feet to lbs

PW_(grains) = Pellet Weight in grains

Pellet Velocity Calculation:

1)Calculate the Pellet Velocity and given for Muzzle Energy = 45ft-lbs , Pellet Weight = 6grains.

Answer

PV = √ ( ME * 450240 / PW )

PV = √ ( 45 * 450240 / 6 )

PV = 1837.60ft/s.

2)Calculate the Pellet Weight and given for Muzzle Energy = 45ft-lbs , Pellet Velocity = 1837.60ft/s.

Answer

PV = √ ( ME * 450240 / PW )

1837.60 = √ ( 45 * 450240 / PW )

PW = 6grains.
