    Recoil from a .357 carbine

    I purchased a 92 rossi carbine 16"bbl. in .357 and noticed that the recoil is more than I expected. Not bone jarring mind you but more noticeable than I expected. I shoot everything from 223 to 45/70 in rifles but this is the first pistol cartridge I've fired in a rifle. I also load my own 45LC...

    Shooting Technique?

    I have a friend that has a marlin model 60. He was complaining about it not being accurate, shooting all over the place, more like a shotgun group than a rifle group. He asked me to take it home and play with it and see what I thought was wrong. I shot it this evening and was able to cut weeds...

    Temperature of fired brass

    Well you guys had me thinking, so I done some more shooting this evening. I am positive the bolt gun is cooler than the AR. It took around 15 shots from the bolt gun to heat things up where as the AR brass was hot from the first shot. After 20 or so rounds through the bolt gun then the brass was...

    Temperature of fired brass

    While out shooting one day I noticed that the brass I fired from my savage bolt action was not at all hot and after each shot I would work the action and place the brass in the box to be reloaded later. I have a Rock River Arms AR 15 that I was shooting also and after a 10rd mag I picked them up...

    Polytech M-14

    I've just purchased one about 2wks ago. It was $600.00 with 2 20rd mags and a scope mount on it. I am happy with mine. I can hit a 2ltr pop bottle at 50yds free hand and open sights but haven't had time to get on the bench to see what kind of groups it will hold at 100yds with a scope on it. The...

    question on a cannon

    I'm thinking of building a cannon out of 4140 carbon steel, 3" solid with a 1-1/4" hole, using a steel ball bearing with a patch. Should I use blackpowder,pyrodex,777, or smokeless? Is it even legal? how would I find out????Why you ask? cause I can.....mainly just for looks...like minnie cannon..

    I've ran across some WIN NT 45 AUTO brass with what seems to be a small primer pocket. ID=.175, I measured a WSP, it's .175 OD. Is this one of those "but not always" cases?
