Overbore

Overbore cartridges are those with a relatively large case volume or case capacity, coupled with a relatively small diameter bullet.

The case volume or case capacity and barrel bore area can be mathematically related to obtain a case volume to bore area ratio in metric or imperial units.

where:

  • = the cartridge case internal volume or case capacity (in ml or (for non-metric users) grains of water)
  • = barrel bore cross section area (in cm2 or in2)

The higher the Oratio result, the more overbore a cartridge will be. As the ratio is expressed in units of length, relatively high Oratio is a good predictor of suitability for relatively long barreled guns.

Oratio is also used to predict barrel life in cartridges of the same caliber, but not of different calibres, since the ratio is an extensive quantity that does not correlate to temperature or pressure (e.g. a .50 cal straight cartridge may have the same overbore as a highly necked down .17 cal cartridge).

The bore cross section areas "Q" used in the calculations were taken from the appropriate C.I.P. data sheets.
