I was watching the news the other day and I heard something about McCain advocating the United States arming the resistance fighters in Syria. I was thinking about what it would be like if we ourselves could do this. I mean something like a nationally organized group sponsoring the shipment and...

Does anyone else on this forum also think that it's a real shame that there aren't any .32 caliber cartridges for auto pistols that can take heavy bullets? The .327 magnum can use bullets of weights up to and perhaps beyond 115 grains but the heaviest bullets that can be accepted by the autos...

I was wondering if it would be advisable or even possible to paper-patch .416 caliber bullets for use in a .404 Jeffery. .416 bullets are more readily available than .423 bullets so that is why I am asking. I'm not very familiar with paper-patching myself, so I don't know if the bullet you are...

Is there any feeding reliability difference with between these cartridges? If so, is the performance difference worth it? Is it true that you don't need to buy special brass for the AI or WM cartridges, just fire-form H&H brass? Please describe your experience with any of these cartridges.

I was thinking about that since the .408 Cheytac is based on the .505 Gibbs, wouldn't it be easy to rechamber a .505 Gibbs to .408 Cheytac. I'm not done yet. Since there isn't really that much of a selection of bullets for .408 caliber, neck the cartridge up to .416 or .458 creating a cartridge...

Is the .35 Whelen cheaper to plink with than the .30-06? I mean since you are able to use 9mm and .38 bullets in it, does that offset the higher cost of brass?

I've looking around at safari rifles lately and one gun that really was interesting to me was the BRNO STOPPER express double rifle. It is a marvelous looking gun and for a very decent price considering it's a double rifle. The thing that interested me the most was that it is a O/U style double...

I was thinking about how it would be awesome for a lever-action gun to be chambered for a .45-70 necked down to .35 caliber, but since all of those are wildcats it would be difficult to get ammo. Then it dawned on me that the .350 Remington Magnum is almost like that. It has the same...

They are both based on the .375 H&H magnum pushed to the limits. The .416 is a little flatter shooting, but the .458 has better SD. I want to get a big bore safari rifle, but I'm stuck on which cartridge to get. I don't know of any rifle's currently chambered in the .416 though it wouldn't be...

This may sound weird, but I'm wondering if you somehow lengthen the barrel of a rifle while maintaining the exact same firearm weight, will the recoil be greater, lesser, or stay the same?

What show is better in your opinion? I have watch both shows for some time now but slowly but surely I have been growing more and more disappointed with PDTV due to its blatant advertising and general repetitiveness throughout the entire show. Best Defense doesn't talk about training as much as...

Would you buy a .221 Fireball semi-auto pistol if it was reasonably priced in the $700-1200 range? Would you prefer the magazine to be in the grip like other semi-auto pistols or in the front like AR pistols? I was thinking that if the 5.7x28 can be used in a pistol, why not the .221 Fireball...

In your opinion, what is the best commonly available rifle cartridge that is readily adaptable to a suppressor? My opinion is that the .45-70 is one of the best commonly available cartridges, it has very heavy bullets available up to 540 grains I've seen. That weight of a bullet going around...

It seems to me that the 6x45mm cartridge is better than the .223 Remington ballistically. Though, it is a wildcat, it can be easily formed from the .223 Remington. It has more energy and longer range than the .223 Remington due to the increased diameter and better BC of the .243 bullets. If you...

Was looking online about ccw when a link to the vpc showed up and so i clicked it. http://www.vpc.org/press/1103ccw.htm This is just horrible. How do these people sleep? They are judging all ccw permit holders as cold blooded cop killers, without taking into account that the ccw permit didn't...

What do you guys think about using .45 Super brass for standard .45 ACP pressure loads. Would the life of the brass be greater than .45 ACP or +P brass? Would the extended brass life be economical considering that Super brass is more expensive?

Last night while I was sleeping, I had a dream that I purchased a Glock 21. I took it home and examined it and say why did I buy this piece of crap(in my real life I despise Glocks they are just so ugly to me)? I then when to the range in my backyard(I don't have a range in my backyard in real...

I was wondering if anyone here has seen/heard of a double stack 1911 magazine with a capacity of more than 14 rounds. I can imagine that a 20 round magazine would be about the same size maybe a little longer than the 10 round single stack magazines. It would be fun to have a 30 round magazine...

I have heard for at least the past 10 years that the US military is looking for a new pistol and cartridge. What do you think the Pistol should be? What caliber? I have also heard that they are considering going back to .45 ACP. Do you think they should use more modern forms of that cartridge...

What is common sense gun control? I hear this thrown around a lot by people who try to say that gun control is popular. Even my own governor is in favor of "common sense" gun control laws. I have a strong feeling that what I consider common sense and what these people consider common sense is...
