    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

    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...

    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..

    large or small primer for .45acp

    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?
