What is the optimal trajectory of a bullet to get the farthest range?

It depends on many ballistic and environmental factors such as size, weight, shape of the projectile. also environmental factors such as ballistic density, air temp, location of where you are in relation to the poles or equator. Also the type of material the projectile and rifiling such as how many twists and the angle of twist. there is also powder temperature, powder density and propellant type that will also affect the muzzle velocity, also how many rounds that were fired as more rounds equal greater wear and less speed... wind speed and direction also factors into the ballistics.

Above is technically correct- short answer is MOST bullets reach their maximum range when fired with the line of the bore raised to 41-45 degrees above the horizontal.

What do you mean by accurate range of firearm?
The actual term is "effective range". That is the range where a trained shooter can consistently hit the target. For example- a 9mm pistol has an effective range of about 50 meters. However, it can shoot a bullet about 960 meters. But at that range, you will not consistently hit anything- except the earth.
Can a bullet travel as fast as 200 miles per hour?
Yes, actually most bullets do. Bullets can range from a handgun at 253 M.P.H (average) to the fastest and biggest bullet i know, the .50 cal BMG at 1901 M.P.H or 2800 ft a second
Will a 45 grain hollow point 22-250 bullet traveling at approximately 4000 feet per second penetrate a kevlar vest and what is the maximum range in which it can be fired from?
It depends on how thick the Kevlar vest is.
What is the range of a 9 mm revolver?
9mm ammunition from handguns can travel 2500 meters. At that distance the bullet will not have much energy left. Fatal hits at distances over 100 meters are uncommon (mostly due to difficulty in hitting anything at that distance).
How is a blast radius calculated?
See the book The Effects of Nuclear Weapons for equations. My copy came with a circular slide rule that calculates that for optimal altitude airburst and surface burst over a yield range of 1 KTon to 10 MTon. It also calculates many other effects.
What is the difference between tolerance range and optimal range?
tolerance range is the abiotic conditions. Optimal range is the preferred range of a species
What is the range of a 30 cal 170 gram - also what is the trajectory?
I think you mean 180 grain, but the trajectory would depend too much on the speed of the bullet to give you any answers. There are too many 30 caliber rounds out there to provide you with an idea. If you can name me a specific round of ammunition, I would answer.
What is the farthest distance a bullet can go when being shot from a gun?
Depends on which bullet, and which gun. The .50 cal Browning M-2 Machine gun has an EFFECTIVE range of 2000 yards. The maximum range (how far it can shoot when elevated to a 45 degree angle) is several MILES. Most other firearms have a range much less than that.
What is optimal range?
yes
Which description best explains the patterns of temperature effects shown?
each enzyme has it own optimal temperature range.
What is the maximum effective range of a 45 caliber bullet?
The maximum effective range of a .45 caliber bullet is approximately 120 meters.
Which factor changes a firearm's range?
The velocity, weight and shape of the bullet, and the density of air through which the bullet moves changes a firearm's range.
What is the pH and what is its optimal range in living matter?
actually it is a fruit.
What is the optimal storage temperature range for the RSDL?
40F to 86F
What are the release dates for The Range Rider - 1951 The Fatal Bullet - 2.3?
The Range Rider - 1951 The Fatal Bullet - 2.3 was released on: USA: 1951
What mountain range is located the farthest east Russia?
the bugers
What is the farthest accurate range for a 223 caliber rifle?
