"Do you know what the single most important physical skill is when it comes to self-defense with a handgun? It's not your shooting mechanics, it's not your marksmanship- not at all. It's grappling." Whether that is true or not, and there is some humorous hyperbole, I thought this video provided...

Compared to some of the more classic actions there doesn't seem to be a lot of talk about the mechanics of this one. What are the pros and cons of the design? Also, how well does it handle gas from a ruptured case or primer? The bolt shroud is quite small compared to the big flanged one on the...

:D

I was poring over some old ballistic tables and noticed round nose bullets seemed to be fairly aerodynamic compared to what many current-day companies advertise for their round-nose soft point and FMJ loads. A lot of companies have round-nosed bullets with low ballistic coefficients. For...

I often hear things like "the 870 is the best-selling shotgun of all time" or "the 870 is the world's most popular shotgun", but I was doing the math recently... Remington introduced the 870 in January 1950. In April 2009, they announced the 10 millionth 870. Mossberg introduced the 500 in...

I see the Zastavas in 6.5x55 have a 1:9.06" twist and CZs have a 1:8.66". The first Swedish military rifles had a 1 in 7.87" twist and Tikka, SAKO, Ruger and some others have a faster 1:8" twist. I looked up some bullet lengths and put them into the stability calculator on Berger's...

Searched around and can't find it. I'm looking for how many MOA/mils are between each line. For example: Knowing this basic information would be useful, but for some reason Bushnell hasn't bothered to make it available. Least not that I saw.

Just wondering, does anyone have any chronograph numbers for today's standard "200 at 1190" load from a 4-5/8", 5-1/2" or 7-1/2" barrel? From what I've read it's probably somewhere from 850-950 but haven't seen specific numbers for the same load from both a rifle and a revolver.

I ran across some Siacci ballistic coefficients for various types of Soviet ammunition. This is a different system from the ones commonly used in the West, so I ran some calculations and translated the numbers. I don't know if these are "official" or not, but they appeared to be taken from some...

I'm aware of the popular rifles and calibers on this side of the pond, but I have little idea of what is popular and common in Europe.

Just went on the site (haven't checked it out for ages) and noticed all the detailed photos of the gelatin blocks and the descriptions are gone... I see some PDF files which mention penetration and expansion, but nothing near as detailed as what used to be on there. Compared to what I...
