    7X57mm true potential??

    If your running a long action, then go to the .280, why bother pushing the 7 mauser. The seven mauser is in its glory as a mildly driven game getter. Its elegance is doing what takes so many other cartridges more powder, noise and recoil to do. If you did not notice the meat damage, then...

    7X57mm true potential??

    Yes, its called the 7-08 mm The cartridge you have loaded to 51K is quite sufficient to kill anything but big bears. If you handload, you can certainly reach a bit higher, but at what cost, recoil, muzzleblast and more meat damage. a 140 grainer at 2700 FPS will kill anything you need kilt.

    What is meant by flat trajectory?

    Its like throwing a football vs a baseball, you can get a nice flat throw with the baseball because its smaller and lighter, the football needs air under it, (unless your Brett Favre,) to go as far. ITs a combination of size, weight, speed,

    .303-vs-30-06 which is better

    Read this again for effect, faster and louder does not kill any better....Once you decide that you are man enough to admit that having the biggest gun doesn't make you the manliest, dropping down a very small amount gets you an awful lot more in the end result, modest rifle at modest...

    Funny thing happened at the range.

    my serious work with a revolver is hunting, I shoot that single action, and I find that DA shooting is not a discipline that I want to put the time into building the skills.

    Walther PK380 vs. the World

    Get the full size 99. Yeah its a bit big, but its easy to conceal with a good holster, and its a terrific gun. I prefer the standard trigger action on the 99, over the QA trigger. The price difference is what ever the stores in your area have them for. I had a PK380, one of the first...

    Speer changes diameter of 6.5 bullet

    Its not just the swedes, but there have been 20 times more .260 rems, 6.5 creedmores, 6.5 grendels sold lately than all the .264 winmags ever sold. Its just the real world, you have to make what works for the masses, not the niche, now if this is as big a deal as you wish it was, someone...

    1952 Colt 1911 slide value?

    It would be nice to have, but without a 52 frame to put it on, its a mixmaster and they are not pricey.

    Ten X Ammo 38 special?

    Thats 590 FPS from a 6 inch barrel. from a 2 in barrel, thats well under 500 FPS at the muzzle. I have to believe that unless there is a severe physical handicap, even mid range wadcutters are a huge step up in power, and those have traditionally been used as a last resort in SD for people...

    Ten X Ammo 38 special?

    It might make 2 inches in gelatin. Its a VERY underpowered load, and as you stated, its designed to allow you to shoot very fast with no recoil. Its also such a light bullet to bore diameter, that I am pretty sure its going to loose velocity incredibly fast.

    Your gun rights vs the right of business owners...

    That may be the case in your State. Its not the case in ALL States. If I own private property and tell you "you may not enter while carrying" and you step onto my land, I might deem that a threat, Otherwise, In many states, once you are told you must leave, and you refuse, you...
