I'd say about 35' to 40' at a 45° downward angle as the box was on the ground. I know old law enforcement "armor peircing" ammo had a pointy red tip. Icepicks vs baseballs makes it sound like shape has a lot to do with it. I can't speak to it personally but things I have read and seen...

There's an old pickup bed I was taking shots at one day. Hollowpoints and FMJ in 9mm and 40 S&W would penetrate the side (two layers of metal) but 45 acp just made big dents in the first layer. So I purchased some FMJ Semi-wadcutters and they made it through both layers just fine. 230 grain...

Reloading is something I have an interest in down the road. I have been thinking about it for a few years now. More for prepping or availability rather than affordability. I have noticed buying ammo online opens up availability and often I can get twice the ammo for the same price as retail...

Wow! I appreciate all the feedback over such a short period of time. I really wasn't expecting quite so many well thought out responses. My Gunsite is the 18" stainless barrel with laminate stock. It really isn't bad at all but I will check into a better recoil pad for it. It's not something...

I'd love to get my hands on a LWRC Six8 but I've spent a lot of money on $2,000+ guns and found a lot of disappointment. 6.8 seems like a very nice cartridge. It makes me sad that Ruger gave up on it in their mini line and didn't engineer the 6.8 spc II. I will definitely check out the 35...

When I was in my early twenties I didn't think I needed one. I felt invincible. The wife also had serious concerns about guns and kids in the house. A lot of that due to ignorance about the safeties and different ways to make them inert. In my late twenties it was discovered I was born with...

Just a general purpose rifle for truck/farm use. Coyotes, deer, plinking, self defense if necessary. That's another good question. I have never been deer hunting anywhere I could actually use a rifle. What are some places in Minnesota that allow it?

Troy PAR in 5.56. Don't laugh. It's actually a pretty fun and involved range toy.

I love my Marlin 336C. Aquiring a target is intuitive regardless of the distance for me and I can shoot it all day long and feel nothing but joy (as well as sympathy for my bank account). There is nothing wrong with it but that doesn't stop me from desiring a bit more power from a rifle. A...

Taliv, I completely agree with you about the training. As far as grabbing a barrel, I can imagine element of surprise being plenty to make someone jump enough and with control of the business end, even if they panic and squeeze the trigger you can be sure it isn't in your direction. Even in a...

I agree that a handgun is ideal for HD. It leaves you with a free hand to manipulate switches and knobs. When rounding a corner or going through a doorway it doesn't give an agressor as much oportunity to grab your firearm and wrestle with you. I wouldn't worry much about overpentration with...
