Recently I have shot ten or twelve boxes of Federal 38 grain 550 round bulk pack with no failures. I mean, no failures of any kind, through an auto rifle. I have shot old ammo, formerly good stuff, that had misfires. I have tried to shoot old ammo, presumably contaminated that would not fire...

This thing is already in some cop's trunk, waiting for the day it will be needed. You could have sold it to the cop for $200.

Martin from The Bronx huh? I think you are an imposter. I don't think you have ever even seen The Bronx. If you were from Da Bronx you would say Da Bronx.:D

I've got one. I've fired it once. I shot a dog that was attacking me in my own yard in the middle of the night. The cops were amazed. One dog, one shot. They would have fired at least 20 times.:D I have a 340PD which I carried for a couple of years. I am hard on a carry gun, I sweat on...

Some LEOs will give big bux for something like this. Completely untraceable. If you see what I mean. An old house was demolished in my neighborhood once and after it was gone I walked around the site and found a 1911, a Remington Rand in maybe a little better shape than what you have. It was...

I don't think it is worth the effort of trying to find and produce the data to back this up but here is the opinion: As you heat a metal it becomes softer and as you cool it is becomes harder. Steel at a red heat is obviously softer than the same steel at room temperature. There is a...

I have a 10-22 and it's just a fabulous gun. I did have to put a new barrel on it and a new trigger group. The stock was ugly so I replaced it. New bolt, firing pin, extractor, springs. But it's a Ruger. :D

One advantage of the SCAR is the operating handle is on the left front and can be actuated with the left hand without taking the rifle off the shoulder, the eyes off the sights or the right hand off the pistol grip and trigger. Same thing for a leftie when the gun is in a left hand config...

How did I do on the cartridge ID dubbleA?

Let me withdraw the statement and replace it with "Most, that is a large majority, who are ultra-serious about accuracy are using non-belted cartridges including all 100 yard benchrest shooters and virtually all silhouette shooters." You can confirm this for yourself by examining the match...

Quoting myself: And again I quote myself: And again: And again: And yet again: I just love quoting myself, it makes me feel so important!:D

Another argument that just tickles me, that I see here is "Gun X is better because it is purchased by superior agencies, A, B and C." And how do we know that agencies A, B and C are superior? "Because they purchase superior equipment, gun X for example.":D

Having a BA in physics, a BS in ME and a BS in EE, the later two from the prestigious Columbia University I am qualified to hold forth on the topic of engineering design. I cannot generally look at two devices and determine which one has "better engineering". I don't think anyone else can...

The belt is a legacy of the 300 and 375 H&H cartridges which most magnums are based on. Roy Weatherby used it as a marketing gimmick inventing the term "belted magnum" and Remington and Winchester stupidly went along. All of the modern magnums, the 264, 300, 338 Winchesters, the 7mm and 350...

I've got a 375 RUM which is I think a lot more practical than the 30 or 338 RUM or -378. Not that practical is of any real importance, practically speaking I will probably never shoot it at anything but paper. The -378s burn too much powder. You can get almost the same velocities with 20...

Why not a 300 or 338 RUM?

In the early 1970s when I was about 15 years old I found a Model 94 used for sale at Woolco and put it on layaway. When I got it paid off my father picked it up and we took it home. It was marked "Property of UMWUA" which is the United Mine Workers Union of America. It took a few years to...

That would have been the end of his shooting trip if I had been there. I dislike a firearm pointed at me, I become irate when a loaded firearm is pointed at me and I am absolutely intolerant of anyone who cannot be corrected. I saw something similar but it was a 243 at 200 yards, two...

Airguns are good for practice at home, both rifle and pistol.

My first AR was a Colt HBAR, I really, really wish I had gotten the standard weight rifle. I would replace the barrel but the lower is marked HBAR.
