What do we really know about the transonic zone?

[Don McDowell]

When doing some extensive research into the long pointed bullets so often mentioned in the Creedmoor days, the BBHC researcher sent me some fascinating info.
It was an article by WD Dodge about the efforts he went thru for the military and Winchester, trying to make the then new 30US a viable 1000 yard cartridge. The most telling part cane when he wrote that he finally decided to scale down the bullets he and others used with success in the 45 and 45 caliber creedmoor rifles.
Talk about nothing really new under the sun ?
