Hello all -- long time, no reply :)
Mark Urbin requests...
%% I just dug into the small arms section of FF&S. It lists the basic
%% size of several popular rounds, 7.62x51mm, 7.62x25mm and 18.5x70mm.
%% Off the top of my head I came up with 7.62x39. Could someone in the
%% know please list some other stats for popular rounds. 5.56 Nato,
%% 9mmP, .22 Long Rifle, .38 Special, .44 & .45 Colt, .45 APC and 30-06
%% would be nice.
Ask and thou shalt receive :)

NOTE: I dont have FF&S yet, so I am providing cartridge size, bullet dimeter,
muzzle velocity and bullet (not cartridge) weight to hopefully provide
enough for you to work with. If you need other stats, just ask.
