Ok, obviously this question has a political aspect, given the current environment. But it is technically a performance question: Does the 62-gr "green tip" .223 projectile, loaded either to ss109 or m855 spec, penetrate body armor? what level of body armor/ II, IIIA, III etc? and, how...

I am seeking advice on the best path to pursue for loading for a 45ACP glock 21 and secondarily 1911 style pistols. The bullet I want to use is Rim Rock bullet's .451 250 gr. RNFP BHN 15, which as loaded by Buffalo bore is by far the most accurate bullet I have fired in a Glock 21. Buffalo...

Dear Sirs, I was trying to make some nitrocellulose lacquer (Colloidion, etc) to seal and waterproof some paper cartridges. Ping pong balls used to be made of pure NC and dissolved in acetone made a nice cheap lacquer that burned away completely. But i tried it with dollar store ping pomg...

Dear Sirs and Ma'ams, A freind picked this up from a private collection of a deceased Army General Officer, who was a big WWII buff though his time in service was in Korea and later. It is a scope, or a piece of a scope, of some sort, with both english and oriental characters on it. I will...

Learned Sirs and Ma'ams, Is there any way to predict or calculate what loads and of what powder will burn 100% in a given barrel length? Or, is there any extensive source for this info, even if derived experimentally? I will be taking care of some predating coyotes in the evening/dark, and...

Is there an online program, or a real-live person who specializes in such things; who can determine the ballistic Coefficient of a bullet if its shape, size, weight, composition, and all dimensions are known? Can anyone point me to the correct link or person? Sincerely, C-

I am looking for a holster that combines a few elements: 1. a Serpa-type lock/unlock button (kydex) 2. accomodates a pistol with weaponlight/laser mounted underneath, and 3. fully enclosed, or at least open only at the bottom (i.e. open to the muzzle; but prefer some protection for the lens...

Learned opinions and sound reasoning wanted! What would you choose, if you had to choose ONLY between these 2 (i.e. please no suggestions of other calibers, etc) loads; and all other factors being equal, for Central texas Whitetail: 1. Buffalo Bore 180gr Hardcast LFN @ ~1851fps through the...

Dar Sirs and Ma'ams, I am looking for a commerically available ballistic match (or close enough) to a 5.56mm 70gr TSX (BC .314 @ 2750fps from 16" barrel), as loaded by Silver State Armory; and that this matching load be cheap enoughto be considered 'practice' for the SSA load. Or at least...

Wow! This amunition looks neat-o: Lewis Drake and Associates 12 bore nitro-paradox, 740gr solid, .735 dia. bullet, 2.5" red plastic (is it legal to post a link? i need to read the updated rules...) Can it be used in American 12ga shotguns? Smoothbore or rifled barrels? Anyone ever...

LEarned annd Exceptional Gentlemen/women: :) Is there any way to mounnt a STANAG scope, with a milled, raised bar runnning the length of it; onto a standard weaver/picatinny mount? Before someone says "easy, use this adapter" read carefully: I don not want to know how to take a STANAG...

(Duh, I meant PISTOL-on-a-pole"- mods pls modify if possible- thx,C-) I have resurrected my interest in bangsticks from the old(er) days: http://www.thehighroad.org/showpost.php?p=3197814&postcount=13 and i have anew concept and am wondering if it is either; a. not a firearm at all...

I never quite understood something, becuase the physics (momentum) says they should be equal, but: Why is it widely written that slugs kick harder than shot loads? If a 1 oz slug is launched at 1500fps, it should recoil (*) just as forcefully as 1 oz of shot going 1500fps(**), right...
