I realize my question isn't specifically about casting but I suspect the folks on this forum have the knowledge to point me in the right direction.
I am trying to locate a chart/table of handgun and rifle bullet weights as originally designed to shoot to the point of aim for a given weapon. An example might be for the S&W 44 magnum - what was the original bullet weight designed to shoot to the point of aim for that handgun?
I believe that at some point every firearm, when it was first developed, was designed to use a certain cartridge containing a specific bullet design/weight such that it would satisfy its design requirements.
I have googled until I'm blue in the face but thus far I have not come up with the requisite search terms allowing Google to cough up what I'm looking for. I have found bits and pieces but nothing all in one place.
I'm not even sure such a thing exists but if it does I'm thinking the corporate knowledge on this site would know about it...any help in finding it would be much appreciated.
