    125g .356" HAP projectiles

    According to Hornady the HAP projectile was made primarily for the 38 super, essentially a big 9mm. I have two 9mm pistols and a 38 super, problems have come with the barrel diameter of my Sig X5 9mm which is just under .355" very tight 9mm. With doubts into firing these HAP bullets which are...

    40 vs 45

    Had both, loved one, and it was not the Beretta 96 in .40cal Colt Gold Cup National Match .45, all the rest are just distant seconds. Could not sell the 40 fast enough, had several 9mm autos, can't say a bad thing there, if you want more bang then go for a Colt in 10mm auto, will...

    .22 good training for larger calibers?

    In all honesty, not completely, a 22 is a very different beast and as such likely harder to shoot accurately, while the fundamentals are similar at the end of the day you will need to re-learn all you have just practised with a .22. That said a 22 is good fun, cheap for ammo, easy on the...

    Barrel twist rate for .308 bolt rifle

    Interesting to note the Thomson Center Icon Warlord model comes in three twist rates for both the .308 W and 338, 1:10 - 1:11 1/4 - 1:12, I guess having a choice is a luxury not always offered by stock gun makers, not a strict criteria, unless you intend to use the heavies bullets available...

    .22-250 versus .243

    I've seen foxes with no heads after taken out with 22:250 at 250+ yds, the only down side is barrel throat erosion at around 1,200 rds +/-, if you shoot a lot and at larger game the 22:250 can then have problems dropping the larger game, the hot 22:250 is a great varmint round but that's what...

    Need some caliber advice want a dual purpose deer/varmint rifle

    I only offer my 2c for the 25:06 mentioned, the ability of a any calibre to shoot accurately is of no issue, all will shoot well with good ammo, the 25:06 however will shoot a wider variety of bullet sizes just heavier and much faster than any 243 will. I have a soft spot for the 25 cal...

    Is factory considered "hot"?

    As a general rule factory loads would be considered as perhaps quite warm, say 6/10 to 8/10 depending on the brand . Most of the factory ammo would be in some brands be IMO close to 1 - 2% off max listed loads, each brand of ammo differs, PMC ammo was always pretty warm while Winchester would...

    What is the most accurate 9mm you have owned?

    As in owned ? the good old CZ-85 Combat - match barrel and comp, trigger and sear mods, shot under 2" @ 50 yds with boring reagularity, I seriously doubt many others of any brand shoot as good with the exact same ammo for the same cost. My Colt gold cup .45 and my Mod 14 s&w .38 revolver...
