Why can't h110 or similar powders be used in the 9mm luger chambering? Operating pressures for 9mm seem to be in the same ballpark as 357mag and 44mag for which this powder is suited for.

So I am loading .357mag for a S&W 686-6+. Using Win231 and powder coated 158gr RN bullets sized at .358, win. SP primers. Cases are mostly Aguila nickle plated, some Federal, few Winchester. Load is 6.0gr of powder with a cartridge length of 1.590 (Lee load data states min 6.2gr/ max 6.7...

Which one tends to behave better with .308 winchester? Regarding velocity/pressure curves, which yeilds higher speed with less pressure issues? If you had to choose one for long range target work, which would you go with? Consider 155 and 175 gr. bullets, 24 inch 1:12 barrel.

Comparing the two for long range (>500+ meters) in .308Win... which would be better? Would either one be theoretically capable of reaching 1,000? Consider a 24 inch .barrel.

Posted this on another site, thought I might try THR for more insight: I have a CZ550 Lux that I bought new around three months ago, and now I am beginning to notice an issue with its three-position safety. When on full safe, (position three) the trigger and bolt are locked. When pushed...

So I have somewhere over a pound of IMR4895. A little more than a month ago when I last pulled it out and took a look at it, this powder was just fine. Smelled OK, nothing noteworthy about appearance. This powder hasn't been actually loaded and shot for some time though. I believe origin of...

I am looking to equip a "do-it-all" bolt action .308 with a scope of some sort. I was thinking about one that would allow a lot of versatility in use, leaning towards long-ish range shooting. I came up with two possible candidates...

Is it OK to fire .311 lead cast bullets w/ gas check in a .308 Win rifle? Can this cause undue wear on the barrel? I have read comments elsewhere that say that it is OK, and others that say that the larger bullets will eventually ruin accuracy if I want to shoot smaller diameter .308 FMJ rounds...

Can anyone help me identify the production year and bullet type of this LR M118 (Brown Cardboard box): 20 CRTG. 7.62 MM LONG RANGE M118 LC-12F274-141 SUBLOT A Edit: I have done some reading and it is somewhat confusing, there are supposed to have been many iterations of this sniper round...

Is Reloder 7 an adequate powder for .308Win loads? Thinking specifically about 150 gr FMJ and 165 gr cast... Seems to be very little recipes around for Reloder 7/.308 combination, just wondering if there are issues I should know about...

How much firing pin protrusion is safe to have? I just bought a CZ 550 and when holding the bolt up in my hand, measuring with the rear end of a caliper I get roughly .065" from the bolt face. However when resting the bolt on its bolt sleeve/shroud against the table, the pin protrudes further...

Does anyone know if there is such a thing as a CZ75 compact with the Omega trigger system? Or if, perhaps, there will be one in the near future...

Sooo, I am finally into centerfire rifle cartridges in practice, no longer theory only and I discovered that 7.62x51 mm rounds are actually more like 7.8 mm in diameter. What nonsense is this and why is it called a 7.62 (accurate to the hundreth of a mm :rolleyes:) when it clearly is not...

So, how much should a CZ 550 Lux in .308 in set me back? Have heard great stories about its single set trigger and fine iron sights and now I am interested. Let's say, what would be the high mark for one of these?

There are a lot of interesting features to it, starting with the rotary AR-type bolt and the extreme ease of disassembly, to the aluminum receiver... I was wondering who was the person responsible for this design?

So in shopping for a Mauser K98 k, what should I look out for to avoid buying a lemon? Leaving the historical/collector value aside, speaking of the mechanical integrity of the rifle, are there any known troubles inherent to the model that these old rifles may exhibit that I should look out for...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ri9ioCbqJCU&sns=fb This is disturbing to say the least. What training exercise would require helicopter strafes over a metropolitan area?? Perhaps a 'safe' way to disperse gun-toting protestors? Yes, I'm breaking out the tinfoil.

http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/manhattan/pistol_whipped_at_wtc_1x32hgT52UNhxkP36ZYAgJ Well obviously she was a major security threat. Not much more to say than :barf:

What are the guns shown in this video? They show up at around the 1:00 mark. I have never seen AR style "orange" guns. I always thought that LTL riot rounds were shot through shotguns. Are these...airsoft guns? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bkcNCrurh-U Please try to ignore the context...
