    Finding peak pressure points

    its not easy to determine. The whole barrel is considered the chamber. and the chamber doesnt end until the muzzle crown. A gentleman named Dreyse solved this problem out. He discovered that when the bulk of the powder charge was kept at the back of the barrel, the pressure created was far...

    TV Westerns....who was "Top Shot"?

    I dont know, if you go buy fictional charecter matt dillon hands down. so fast he had to let the other guy shoot before he could draw himself, to keep it fair and legal. However actor wise. Audie Murphy. Seen articles on his early days in westerns and how he had hard times keeping jobs as the...

    almost 3k on a rifle setup am I crazy?

    no offense to the folks here but heres some questions of wisdom to ponder for the op and the rest of us. The concept of a high end rifle rig has been put towards the concept of do we need expensive luxory cars/trucks. I know alot of folks who have high end trucks. I mean, the heavy duty...

    SKS vs AR

    from what little ive seen on the whole dmr/spr rifle, a 16 inch ar with optic sight that can meet or beat 2 moa, is all you actually need to be "military worthy". Whats needed is knowing your bullet drop and hold over. looserounds. thats the concept of spr and dmr. slightly better training and...

    Are gun owners getting more senseless, negligent, or is the media covering guns more?

    watching my local 6 oclock news, ive seen news articles on single car accidents in foreign countries. A news story about a drunk driver running into a burger stand in tokyo isnt even newsworthy in tokyo let alone in america. Ive had news stories about jay walkers in arizona on the 6pm...

    What exactly is "inherent" accuracy in regards to a cartridge?

    the 38 wadcutter has been considered inherently accurate for decades. Its no wonder that load, and the 45acp using that 185 grain semi wadcutter are so good shooting, that ive seen articles in the hodgdon annual that say if your gun cant shoot that load accurately, you need a new gun.

    SKS vs AR

    get the ar. i almost got an sks until i realized that an sks was just an sks. aftermarket parts are a crap shoot. countrys can be different in measurement. saw a few ads for after market parts that could only fit an sks from china or from russia, only one but not the other. But ar's are...

    Proper Cleaning for Corrosive Rifle?

    few times ive used surplus corrosive, i always had loose primer pockets letting the action get filled with corrosive residue. As a result i dont shoot corrosive now. But after 6 six years never seen rust by doing this dissassemble mosin, put barrel, bolt and magazine group into bath tub...

    How hard can it be to manufacture RF ammo?

    legally speaking, its a slightly grey area concerning the priming. IN THEORY a lawyer would say its not smart because if you dont have training, and a liscence, making standard rimfire priming would turn you into a terrorist as you are playing with "true" explosives compared to that package of...

    Rate the .223 cartridge

    people hunt hogs with 223 at 150 yards with M4 carbines. your problem is the shooter. bullet construction and bullet placement. then comes accuracy of the rifle. 55 grain jsp or jhp or fmj to the brain at 50 yards. yes. 55 grain jsp or jhp to the chest at 50 yards no. Those two slugs...

    Unsupported trade-in with Ruger?

    Have you read it? the bushmaster policy is a tad nutty. They can refuse to give you a refund just because the rifle you send back in SMELLS TO STRONGLY of COLOGNE.

    Have you ever noticed.....

    Also dont forget the hatred and behavior when you can find a gunstore that doesnt sell a particular gun at the "lowest" possible price you can find in a gunstore in say pheonix. That seems a tad worse then those people who like to jump up in with "oh i bought that last week for x less then...

    Ruger's AR 556

    its hard for something to be hypothetical when internet retailers are charging a rough average typical price of 600 for it. And every review ive seen online gives that as a rough typical average for it. thats the only smith and wesson ar in the store i looked at. not interested in buying a...

    Unsupported trade-in with Ruger?

    At least Ruger said "hey we messed up." Alot of companies have elaborate policies to reduce having to repair a defective gun. Read the bushmaster repair policy. if your 1200 dollar rifle suddenly becomes defective, like say the mag well starts cracking, if they find a scratch on the...

    Single Action vs. Double Action, Part II

    the rapid fire keeps you more consistent because your muscles arent being repositioned non stop. Sure the impact will waver, and youll start shooting that horizontal line. But rapid fire can force your brain to focus on only one or two aspects. and leave the rest alone. Its like how some...

    How hard can it be to manufacture RF ammo?

    the problems youll run into come into the priming stage. lots can go wrong in that stage. However read any box of ammunition you have in your house or find on a store shelf. On a flap or side or back youll see this message: Warning only to be fired in firearms in safe to use condition...

    Privi Partizan/Monarch 30-30 Ammo

    its a generic softpoint. actually you cant get any more generic softpoint. Basically is constructed basically the same way the british originally made soft point bullets for the .303 as in take a standard fmj bullet with enclosed base, and cut a few millimeters of copper jacket from the tip...
