    Barrel tuning question

    I am mostly ignorant on this topic and would like to learn more. I'm guessing tuning a barrel is a way to control barrel vibrations. As a reloader I achieve this with my reloads, but temperature is my enemy. So tuning the barrel to a load seems to make sense, what is the best way to achieve this?

    S&W Model 29 and 629?

    I'm wondering what the cylinder throat diameter measure on these guns. Has S&W changed the throat diameter, if so when? I have a S&W 696 and the throats measure .429" and leading is not a issue. I had a Ruger Red Hawk in .44 Mag. that leaded badly at the forcing cone, the throats measured .434".

    Hatsan 87 QE?

    I've had this 22 cal air gun for around 5 yrs. I went to shoot it the other day, and when I cocked it there was no resistance. It would appear the gas piston has failed. So what are my options? Thanks.

    6.5 Grendel vs 6.8 SPC

    I have been interested in these cartridges for some time now. I recently wound up with a AR rifle in .223 Rem. If I were to get a upper chambered for another cartridge what should I consider? The 6.5 Grendel and 6.8 SPC seemed like good options, your thoughts are welcome.

    Pushed to decide on a AR 5.56

    Well the elections in Oregon have not gone well. I don't have a AR type rifle but I'm thinking this maybe my last chance to have one if I choose to remain here. I have shot the AR platform in 5.56x45 but I am clueless on which one to get. The AR platform with a adjustable stock should work well...

    What’s the difference?

    Yep here we go again:( What is the difference between a caliber and a cartridge? I will start with this, for the .30 caliber there are over thirty cartridges chambered in this caliber. I don't mean to be a stickler but some here that profess to have knowledge don't seem to get this simple fact.
