Maximum Effective Range

grayfox Wrote:Not an expert in any of those platforms so this may be a bit too elementary, but instead of looking at a 1930's work (which doubtless was a great one for its day, and still might be useful), for today's fmj's usually flat based or slightly boat-tail, why not use available ballistics and look for a point where ke falls below some minimum...
Kinetic energy is not used to determine the maximum effective range. (Nor is Tex's RSP.)

P.S. I was unable to decipher most of what Tex posted, so if you did, my hat's off to you. Cool
