The text is divided into three parts on interior ballistics, exterior ballistics, and terminal ballistics (the phase that begins when a projectile reaches a target).

Winchester asserts that the high efficiency of the short, fat WSSM case design improves the interior ballistics of the cartridge by exposing more propellant surface area to the primer and making ignition more consistent.

In these proceedings from the May 2005 conference, participants describe their research in terminal ballistics, including tests on alternate armors, as well as fluid structure interactions, perforation and penetration mechanics, shock and impact on high rate loads, interior ballistics, fluid flow and aerodynamics, and systems and technology.
