    30-30 vs 308 for deer

    The 308 has more power then then 30-30 but they use the same grain bullet. So how come all the youtube videos I have seen of deer getting shot with a 30-30 they almost always drop on the spot like they got hit by lighting, but the 308 videos they usually run 30 feet or more before they drop...

    Rubbing alcohol to remove blackpowder corrosive salts

    My understanding is it is the potassium chloride salts in black powder that corrode metal. I made up some concentrated salt solutions and poured them on glass and let it dry so the salt crystallized. I then wiped it down with a rag with rubbing alcohol ( 70% isopropyl alcohol) and it got it...

    Do you agree with these recoil tables?

    These recoil tables says a 410 shotgun has 7.1-10.5 foot-pounds of recoil energy. But a 223 round only has 2.6-3.9 foot-pounds of energy. I have never fired a 223 rifle But from looking at YouTube videos of people firing Them It looks like a 223 ar-15 kicks more than 410. How do you explain...
