Short Range Heavy Bullet

These shoots provide an excellent opportunity to use classic big-game rifles at Bisley with a muzzle energy greater than 7000J. For more information on these days and to join the SRHB WhatsApp group, please contact David Lacey at david.lacey@srhb.org.uk

A Short Range Heavy Bullet (SRHB) rifle is one that has the following characteristics:

maximum muzzle energy of 14,000J (10325ftbs)
maximum velocity of 800 m/s (2,625fps)
minimum bullet weight of 400 grains

We also welcome medium-bore cartridges such as the .416, .450, and .470, but there is a minimum calibre requirement of .35". Metric equivalents are, of course, also welcome!
