    500S&W versus 480 Ruger

    A couple of things I would like to mention. It is a muzzle "brake", not a "break". As for perceived recoil...the 10" barrel will give more "felt" recoil than the 7.5" barrel. The increase in bullet velocity will more than offset the few ounces of increased weight. Also, the extra length will...

    Glock 21 .50 conversion

    Just put in my order for the Guncrafter Industries .50 GI conversion kit for the G21. It consists of a new slide, barrel, and 9 round mag. Sights on the slide are standard Glock fixed sights. No mods required for the conversion. They also use a 22 lb. recoil spring, IIRC. The gentleman I talked...

    Open call to Guncrafter Industries : Ballistic gelatin test of .50GI cartridge

    JE223- The Barnes 275 XPB bullet will be too long for the .50 GI. Since it is all copper and has a very deep hollow point, it is very long for it's weight. In order to work through the magazine of the GI, it would have to be seated very deep in the case, leaving very little room for the...

    Slow-motion video of S&W Kaboom

    Did anyone else notice that there was not a case in the chamber under the firing pin? There was no hammer fall either. Also if you will stop frame it, you will see that the top strap is hollow. The virtual lack of recoil, indicates that no bullet was fired. This leads me to believe this was...

    Cali rumor. True?

    Not trying to be too technical here.......but there is no such thing as a 100% reliable "loaded chamber" indicator. All it tells you is whether or not there is a case in the chamber. It could be an empty case, because of an underpowered round that discharged but did not fully cycle the action...

    Speer Gold Dot .45 ammo

    I will tell you what the best SD ammo is for you... It is whatever ammo is 100% reliable in your gun. It is whatever ammo you can shoot accurately in your 100% reliable gun. It is whatever ammo you can shoot quickly, and accurately in your 100% reliable gun. Did I mention that your SD ammo...

    185 grain versus 230 grain .45acp

    Since most of the thorax is air, 12 inches of ballistic gelatin will enter and exit two people's chests. Dude....I hope that your statement was a joke or something. Do you really think that the blood, arteries, veins, bones, organs, connective tissue, and muscles, make up less than half of...

    sizing after reloading

    After the bullet is in the case, resizing the loaded round in a regular sizing die will swage the bullet way down in diameter so that it will now be undersized for a good fit into the chamber throat and barrel. It is also a good way to get a bullet lodged into the sizing die. Sounds like a bad...

    Glock 20 10mm

    Here is a question on Glock conversions...Can a 10mm barrel and mag be installed in a G21 45acp? It would be cool to have both calibers on the same frame...

    Open call to Guncrafter Industries : Ballistic gelatin test of .50GI cartridge

    Rainier Bullets makes a 275gr. plated hollow point bullet. That is what I use in my .50GI MR BFR at 1200+ fps. That soft lead plated bullet should expand at the lower velocities of the .50GI Model 1 1911. In fact, I ordered a 500 count box from Guncrafters last year, and I'm just about out of...

    Open call to Guncrafter Industries : Ballistic gelatin test of .50GI cartridge

    Just my two cents here.....If anyone can bring a .50GI to the masses, at an affordable price, it would be Taurus. If a good .50GI 1911 platform ever came on the market at less than a grand, there would be a huge response from the shooting public. Only then would the bullet makers like Speer...

    Open call to Guncrafter Industries : Ballistic gelatin test of .50GI cartridge

    Probably won't happen. I don't think Mr. Zimmerman will ship you a nearly $3000 gun, plus ammo, just because you have references. I'm sure you are honest and very trustworthy, but it's all about business risks vs. gains. Anyway...I can tell you this about the factory ammo. None of the jacketed...

    Trouble Loading Remington Brass

    I have seen the same thing happen with .44 mag and .45 Colt once-fired brass from Rem. I think the brass has a little less elasticity, and when the expander die goes in, the brass does not contract a little bit, to give good neck tension on jacketed bullets. I tossed all my Rem. brass in the...

    What causes bullet setback?

    Bullet setback in semi-autos usually occurs for two reasons. The major cause is when the bullet impacts the feed ramp before entering the chamber. The other minor cause, is when the bullets in the magazine impact the front of the magazine under recoil. This is more common with very hard...

    Para 14 Mags

    Montana Gold 200gr JFP .45 - OAL?

    The bullet length does not determine the OAL of the loaded cartridge, if the seating die remains fixed, then with the identical nose shape and ogive profile, a 300gr. bullet will be seated to the exact OAL as a 185 gr. bullet. When the loading press ram tops out into the seating die, the...
