    Airspace

    How come airspace between powder and bullet is no big problem with smokeless but it is with blackpowder?? I know "why" it's bad to have airspace between black powder and the bullet, having already ruined a barrel due to short starting. But how come black powder is sensitive to this while...

    1858 Remington cylinder pin latch

    Hi Guys, I got so much from this forum in the past so I am glad to finally give back. I just want to share a solution for a problem to address the cylinder pin lock on an 1858 Remington in case that the loading lever is removed (not used) anymore. I can imagine 3 major cases for that: - to...

    Blowing smoke

    I have what may be to some an ignorant question. Are IMR and Hodgdon the same powder. For instance I have a nosler manual with almost no H powders but a lot of I. Would a 61 gn charge of IMR4350 be the same as a 61 gn charge of H4350? Any help on this subject would be much appreciated. I'm still...

    Black Powder vs. Smokeless Powder?

    Can someone here explain to me in laymen's terms how black powder (classed as an explosive) differs from smokeless powder (classed as a propellent I believe) differ once they are confined to a specific space -- say a bullet/gun chamber? BP rapidly "flashes" when lit while it's unconfined...
