The LW15 is basicly a .50 Beowulf , from what I've read in the defense review it is made out of the same case , a .50 AE case blank or what ever you call it , only it is .100 longer than the wulf , both with rebated rim . LW has changed case length 3 times to the now 1.750 . AMMUNITION SPECIFICATIONS .499 LWR CARTRIDGE DESIGNATION : .499 LWR (12.5MM X 44) CASE LENGTH : 1.750 INCHES OVERALL LENGTH : 2.268 INCHES +/- 0.005” BALLISTIC COEFFICIENT : 298 PROJECTILE WEIGHT : 300 GRAINS PROJECTILE LENGTH : .962“ BULLET PULL : 150 LBS PRIMER : CCI M34 MIL-SPEC PROPELLANT : PROPRIETARY D-063 LOAD DENSITY : 90% PROPELLANT BURN TEMPERATURE : 3,800°F RANGE PERFORMANCE: MUZZLE VELOCITY AND ENERGY 0 YARDS : 2,182 FPS/3,145 FT/LBS 100 YARDS : 1,986 FPS/2,410 FT/LBS 150 YARDS : 1,734 FPS/2,035 FT/LBS 200 YARDS : 1,650 FPS/1,875 FT/LBS TRAJECTORY @ 200 YARDS 50 YARD ZERO : 7.2” (3.5 MINUTE) DROP 100 YARD ZERO : 4.1” (2 MINUTE) DROP BULLET FLIGHT TIME 0 – 200 YARDS : 0.22101 SECONDS www.defensereview.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=240 www.defensereview.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=354 ( Edited to say ) I do wonder if they may have made the case a straight wall instead of a slight taper like the wulf because they have a set of carbide dies for the LW , and I don't believe anyone makes carbied dies for taper wall , or am I misinformed , Can anyone shed some light on this ? |
