#.300RUM
One Mile Per Second or 5,280 FPS
Geeks Gadgets and Guns, a gun-related podcast website, has published on their social media pages a photo from an ongoing LFD Research project depicting cartridges loaded with saboted bullets. Well, at first glance, I didn’t see anything extraordinary because these cartridges looked like Remington Accelerator replicas with different bullets. But when I read the caption of the picture I was amazed to learn that they actually loaded the saboted .224 caliber bullets into .300 RUM (.300 Remington Ultra Magnum) cases and managed to achieve muzzle velocities of “over one mile per second“. That’s over 5,280 fps or 1,609 m/s!
