I forgot this section is for semiautomatics. In that case forget about the NAA revolver I spoke of above. In that case the best semiautomatic choice that balances cost and quality, and is the lightest 9mm in the world (12oz) and one of the safest as a DA only gun is of course none other then the...

It all comes down to your ability to carry, while a mandatory issue duty weapon is a mandatory tool, after 8 hours it become a brick. When I would get home a I wanted to get my duty gun off my body and a personal carry was a challenge until I found the perfect "Get-OFF-Me-Gun". In my book a true...

I recently ordered a Delton 5.56 AR15 lower kit so that I could have a dedicated AR-lower receiver for my AR/50BMG upper. I also thought I would buy a AR15 pistol upper to swap back and forth at leisure until I found out that to have a AR15 pistol you must have an ATF approved AR15...

Well of course there is always more to learn about almost everything. But I do feel I have plenty of wood to whittle on at this point. No, Im going to the range at O-dark-thirty to get started armed with what I know so far:). Besides I need to test out these new .69 minnies with patch and their...

double post sorry

Of course there will be some affect because there is some moment, especially with different loads and bullet wights, im not arguing national match flight characteristics here. Im just saying that with regard to basic marksmanship recoil and barrel lift is not a significant factor except in the...

No misunderstanding by me that the barrels are NOT parallel to one another and cannot aim with their current regulated center sights without having the magic bullet weight, powder-load, distance formula. I only said the barrels were strait and that strait inline separate sights for each barrel...

Yeah, I was reading about how the only way you can truly regulate a gun like mine is to unsolder the center rib separating the barrels and temp wedge the barrels for adjustment of the point of aim for the specific bullet weight, powder load and distance desired. So no way can a gun like mine be...

I read somewhere that it doesn't matter as long as you tap the minnie at the bottom the powder and patch will conform enough and a small piece of cloth is not going to shield the bullet cavity expansion from 35,000 PSI chamber pressure. What I have to be careful of is that I don't allow the...

Even though I have had this rifle now since 2005 right after I retired I haven't fired it but twice mostly for demonstration in the open desert, but I realized then that there were 2 issues with the gun 1st that the .715 balls fit very tight and after a few shots almost impossible to load...

The .715 ball is so tight that without a patch you cant gravity roll it in and out of the barrel like most .50's, it will get lodged. With a .10 patch and the barrel clean and lubed no way you can ram rod it with a fiberglass or plastic ramrod, you need steel or aluminum preferably with a...

I guess what I mean is that Im not concerned at all at 730 grains since there are some with custom conical modes based on the provided gun design data for the .72 that are 800 grains and loaded with 180 grains of powder, at least that is the unconfirmed information I have found. Im currently...

Besides the typical .715 recommended and sold for the .72, here is the minie bullet I have on hand 25 rds and they fit nice with a patch and are well below your 800 to 900 grain predication. http://www.trackofthewolf.com/Search.aspx?Search=BALL-690-MINIE And here is the mold I for it hope to...

Well I can tell you that in the CG we would do allot of experimental load and weapon test using nothing but distance and or a berm. Nevertheless if Im too lazy or its too hot to be rigging up a test I my just start from 40 grains and work my way up. I figure whatever performance I am hoping for...

Don't worry about the stock I know something about physics, maybe Ill take the brake off the truck so it roles back on recoil or suspend the gun on bungees at the tail gate :D, kidding aside rest assured I understand what you mean but honestly its was already an elementary consideration in my...
