First to consider is the concept of 'one shot stop'. This seems to be a rather fluid term in popular discussion. I am addressing the 'ability to...
Changing the cartridge will entail changing the rifle. Which is okay with me. I have been unimpressed with the M-16 (and variants) since 1969,...
The .338 Federal is a reasonably useful round. As many of the others, it is based on the .308 Win case. This time, necked up to .338 caliber and...
Hmmm. We already have have ".260 Remington" (essentially a .308 Win necked down to to 6.5mm). In function - with a proper twist rate - a...
Made in Yugoslavia, when ceased to exist in 1993. The part of what was then Yugoslavia which contains a city called Uzice is now known as Serbia...
Good for you! I don't collect that sort of firearm, but I expect you're as tickled as I am when something sought after is found! And at an...
Great idea. It might be your heirs, but those will be quite desired at some point in the future. I don't collect the boxes, but I do have a...

Best thought is to check with 'reciprocity' laws first. Also check the details (not in a public building, not on Tuesdays prior to 10:00 AM, not...
This is just a bit off topic (and I hope it doesn't get this thread shut down): My greetings and salutations, Old Lady Shooter. I am delighted...
Oh! Pardon me. "People's Democratic Socialist Republic of California".
Ah, bullet expansion threshold. That does make sense, indeed. My apologies to you MDI on the correction of 'unburnt powder' but I've had...
I lived in PDSR California for about thirty-six years. I rather liked in 1974. It became more crowded and leftist as time passed. Nothing is...
Expansion Ratio is the ratio between case capacity and total volume of the case capacity AND the interior of the bore to the end of the muzzle....
Sounds like a decent plan. One should pay attention to one's own preferences and considerations. That said, the age of primers stored...
Powder burn rate is selected for a combination of payload weight and volume of case involved. Powder burn rate is NOT effected by barrel length....
In those circumstances, I would just consolidate the powder - likely in the better condition can. And I would gently shake them up after doing so...
