Thinking of taking my garand on an audad hunt. Im finding very little info online about the terminal performance of m2 ball. Should I be able to expect this projectile to yaw inside a large animal like a 300lb ram or big boar? Any known gel test or military testing?
Ive long known that the most effective, dont take a step, deer loads are the ones at the higher end of the velocity scale. Ask people that have shot many deer with a 22-250 and they'll tell you the deer rarely go anywhere but down. That is, until you center a shoulder knuckle and the bullet...
I'm threading a Browning High Wall to shoot deer and pigs in the 50-60 yard range. Already have 300 grn gold dots and a can of trail boss. Gun has a 28" barrel. Any recommendations for a load to start with on my search for around 1060fps? Ive done a bunch of searching but all I can find is light...
Is there anyone out there that sells the full assortment of Lee 45/70 bullets? Looking to do some experimenting and would like to try some out before buying my own casting stuff.
Looking to load some Hornady 180 grn XTPs at 1060 fps out of a 16" barrel. Primer is a Federal 200 small magnum. I have a chrono and good scale. Can anyone recommend a starting powder charge?
Thanks!
I dont have much experience with reloading pistol/rifle ammo. I am adding a H&R .357 as a host for my Osprey 9 that is coming. I plan to shoot factory .38 special 158 grn jacketed bullets. From what I can find these should be perfectly subsonic out of a 16" barrel. I also plan to reload 180 grn...
Anybody know what kind of velocity these need to expand? Looking at loading them in a single shot rifle for a suppressor around 1050 fps and hoping to do some hog hunting wiht them. Think I could still get expansion at 75 yards?
Can anyone run numbers for a 158grn semi jacketed HP .357 bullet at 1000 fps? Im considering putting a pistol suppressor or a single shot .38/.357 rifle and am trying to get an idea of what could be expected. Lots of searching but nothings coming up.
Anyone have any guess what kind of...
What models have been made with a bobbed hammer in 9mm? What are the ballistics like out of these with 147grn ammo? How would they compare to say the 158grn FBI .38 load? Can they handle 9mm +P ammo? Recoil comments?
Are all SBE bolts interchangeable?
Can an old school float the fourth bolt be used in a newer SBE and SBE II and float a fourth shell? Any idea what one of those bolts would be sell for?
Also, can wood and synthetic stocks be swapped out on a SBE I without issues?
I recently purchased an almost new SKS-M (takes AK mags). Problem is the monte carlo stock is too long for me and snags on my shirt when I bring it up. It measures 14.25 LOP and I need about 13.25. What options do I have for shorter stocks for this gun without worrying about 922 crap? I hate to...
Can anyone tell me if the extended (three finger) rubber grips that come factory on the 640 centennial will fit other J frame Smiths? If so where can I find them and how much? Thanks!
Just thought I would share some pics of my truck gun. Got a used H&R 12g single shot for $75. Cut the barrel to 18.25" and put in a bead. Shot it one time with 3" buckshot and the factory hard plate and it was brutal to say the least. I cut 2.5" off of the factory stock and got a slip on...
I am shopping for a .45 but have some requirements. What options are there out there with these requirements.
-has a manual safety
-under $600 new or used
-holds 11 or more rounds in the mag
-known for reliability
-double action or SA/DA
So far I am leaning heavy towards the...
