Have you considered defining a vital zone size of the intended target and then finding the "GEE" distance for your gun? That is the maximum range you can shoot without the trajectory of the bullet going above or below the vital zone you defined - lets say the vital zone for what you intend to...

Here is its performance against simulated bad guy : Slow Motion video : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6noiXAFHAE8 Report : http://www.brassfetcher.com/SimulatedShotlinesthroughtheHumanBody.pdf

I've actually tested buckshot in gelatin at 50 yards. Is Buckshot lethal at 50 yards? : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_pIuUrjUIyQ Though it wasn't tested, #1 buckshot is likely the best all-around buckshot size for self-defense.

9x19mm handgun, 16ga shotgun, 7.62x39mm rifle. I just like to hit what I'm aiming at, because the real world doesn't feature a shooting bench. :).

Haha, well I'm mortal too. Just buy the RCBS reloading dies for 5.7x28mm and get started. The lathe turning is no big deal - but it will get expensive unless you work out some kind of a deal with a machineshop/lathe owner. I could do 6 bullets an hour on a manual lathe with no fixtures, so I...

FiveseveN pistol

Hey guys. I just wanted to pass on the following information I found in my notes today. You can lathe-turn the base off of Barnes 0.224" 53gr TSX bullets and then reload into a 5.7x28mm case using Blue Dot propellant to get an expanding, deep penetrating bullet for the FiveseveN. Here is the...

The stock is ok unless you have pronounced cheek bones in your face. Which is funny because a lot of German people do... Even the MP5 with the collapsing stock hurt my face after a few rounds but I have not tried it with the Century '91' that I own because I'm sure it will hurt worse.

Does the box have a muzzle velocity listed .. I can't find anything on the website. Even assuming that these are +P+, a 4" barrel will give you a maximum of 1300 ft/sec which is not fast enough to cause significant deformation even it its pure lead. Sometimes I recover 124gr +P+ FMJs with a...

:) ... Thanks guys. I just wanted to standardize the data into tables to make comparisons easier. The pictures and descriptions still exist ... largely on the THR archives under the Brass Fetcher username. The ability to shoot high speed has been a boon and a blessing to me and hopefully...

We'll need the exact weight of the haul ... Nicolas Cage said that they are sold by the kilo.

I've got DUPO28 coming up next, but not Hexolit. Best bet is to contact the manufacturer and have them get me to test it.

Photron SA-5 color

Thank you for posting the link to the picture. That particular bullet was still doing 690 ft/sec as it exited the back of the gelatin block ... The firearm used there was a Pre-64 Winchester 94. Distance from muzzle to gelatin block was 10ft. All expanding bullets expand within 3 diameters...

I was concerned about that too. After sitting for three weeks, I just now ran a bore snake through the barrel - it's as good as new. Some people expressed concern over the rock salt getting on the barrel surface and causing pitting.. there is no evidence of this either. Right now, you...
