Ballistic performance discrepancy edit
The ballistic performance numbers in the Wikipedia article don't add up correctly, so either the bullet weight is incorrect, or the velocity is incorrect, or the ft/lb of energy is incorrect. For the 200 Vollmer FB, the Wikipedia article claims 2500 ft/s and 2565 ft/lb of energy. In realigy, a 200 grain bullet traveling at 2500 feet per second would have an energy of 2775 ft/lb, not 2565 ft/lb. Likewise, for the 220 Vollmer FB, the Wikipedia article claims 2400 ft/s and 2405 ft/lb of energy. In realigy, a 220 grain bullet traveling at 2400 feet per second would have an energy of 2813 ft/lb, not 2405 ft/lb, according to the formula energy in foot/lb = mass in grsins times velocity squared divided by 450,435.
