Don't let my extreme leftist veiws fool you . I do know a thing or two about shooting. I grew up in a very conservative and redneck area growing up.

Coulda fooled me.
.224 WBY mag...
This rifle shoots a small bullet behind a large amount of propellent. .224 caliber or for us normal shooting folk, is commonly known as twenty two cal. The .224 WBY mag is a absolute barrel burner. Super fast.... AT THE MUZZLE.
Lets use for example a very common .224 cal bullet. 50 grain hornady Vmax bullets which have a G1 ballistic coefficient of .242. Lets go with a slightly hot load which produces a MUZZLE velocity of 3750FPS. Which is stupid fast. Ok.
We know how fast we are at the muzzle.
At 100 yards we are at 3294 FPS.
At 300 yards we are at 2511 FPS.
At 500 yards we are at 1851 FPS. Not fast enough to reliably set off tannerite.
At 900 yards we have dropped below subsonic speed. We are now at 1026 FPS. Bullet wobble is introduced.
At our argued point of being able to shoot and blow up targets at 2000 yards, we are now at the velocity of
559 FPS. Barely above what is allowed for non regulated air rifles.
So no, we are not detonating tannerite at 2000+ yards. Also, we basically have no hope in hell of hitting that target since we dropped subsonic over 1000 yards ago.
Shall I pick apart the other examples you have presented?
