Do you ever find yourself trying to describe what makes an assault rifle an assault rifle? The Babylon Bee is here to help :rofl: https://babylonbee.com/news/the-bee-explains-assault-rifles

There is MTM Arms in Athens IL. It is North of Sherman on RT. 29. It is all indoor. They allow pistols, shotgun slug, muzzle loader, and rifles (only 22lr, .223, or .7.63x39 and the latter two you must buy from them because they want to make sure you are shooting frangible ammo). There are ten...

I may be out in left field here, but what about using something other than nitrocellulose as a propellant? Would a high explosive work if used in a minuscule amount? If it could achieve the same pressures with less volume, then the case could be much smaller and weight from both brass and...

I heard on the news this morning that his family was concerned over his social media posts and did call law enforcement to check him out. He also was seeing a psych, but I guess California law requires a threat against a specific person before action can be taken. (This all from CNN, who is...

Well, I'm thinking of looking at a .243 in a compact bolt gun (he wants one like mine). I'd like to get it by Spring so he had plenty of time to get familiar with it. Thanks everyone for your help.

Thanks for the chart wombat13. That will come in handy for comparing rounds.

I wasn't thinking about relative loudness between rounds. Would the .223 or .243 be any quieter? What about the pistol caliber rifles?

Yeah, I've been hit with the scope from a 12 ga slug gun and my 30-06. Now I need to practice away a flinch. I don't want him to have a bad experience. He already doesn't like the sound level of my 30-06 when I shoot it. That's why I was leaning toward a .22-250 since it would be a little better...

Thanks. I had thought of a .223 but thought the extra oomph of the .22-250 would be a little better. If a .243 is not much more recoil than either, that might work well also. I have heard of .357 maximum but never tried it. Would you be able to shoot .38 special and .357 mag out of it also? That...

Since this is my first post, Hi Everyone! Anyway, my son is getting interested in hunting and wants to go through hunter safety and get his own rifle. He is 11 now. I'm thinking of a .22-250 H&R Handi-rifle. Nebraska states that it must be at lest .22 cal and make 900 ft-lbs at 100 yards. I...
