7.62x51 has longer range, flatter trajectory, more energy, and more accurate than 7.62x39. None of those things are my question. My question is, at ranges less than 150 yards, how much difference would there be in wounding characteristics against human adversaries for these 2 cartridges?

I am thinking about trading a rifle I never shoot plus some cash for a new Ruger Mini Thirty. The rifle I am thinking of trading is a Savage Model 10 308 Win bolt action with a heavy barrel. It is an accurate, and I really find no fault with it, other than I never shoot it. Probably havent...

I have been thinking about getting a Mini Thirty. Mainly for plinking, or taking around with me on the farm in case I needed to shoot a coyote. Anyone have any recent experience with them? I know people always talk about accuracy problems with Ruger Minis. I am not looking for a long range...

I had asked some questions about legally flying with a handgun and thought I would update on the experience. It went very smoothly. I packed my handgun per TSA and airline specifications, ie, unloaded, in a locked hard side case. I had 2 empty magazines and a 25 round box of ammo in the same...

Has anyone ever travelled to Hoover Dam with a firearm in vehicle? From their website, no guns are allowed, but I can't tell if they mean on your person, or if an unloaded handgun in a locked case left in the vehicle would be allowed? I plan to call them later today and try to find out, but...

I am going to be flying soon with a handgun in checked baggage. I think I understand the rules. Handgun will be unloaded, and in a locked hard case. I want to put the hard case containing handgun inside my main suitcase. Does the main suitcase have to be hard side also, or can it be soft...

It has been 5 or 6 years since I travelled by air with a handgun. I will be flying from Birmingham, Alabama to Las Vegas, then will immediately leave LV and drive to Grand Canyon, the national parks in Utah, and finally to Denver where I will fly home. I am familiar with the rules regarding...

Seems like a lot of hunting rifles come with a detachable magazine that is (usually) a proprietary design are can be difficult to locate replacements or spares. Given that fast reloads while hunting is not a high priority, why do manufacturers of many rifles choose to use detachable magazines?

Does anyone make a rear peephole sight for a Ruger Model 77 that clamps into the rear scope cut in the receiver? Needs to be the right height to work with the Ruger front sight.

Given the popularity of pistol caliber carbines, it seems like it would be a good time for Ruger to introduce the discontinued 44 magnum carbine it produced 20 years ago. Maybe do a 357 mag version also. I would be very interested in one. Used ones are getting harder to find in good condition.

I hadnt ever thought much about 7x57, but was reading about it recently, and it looks on paper that it would be as good as other deer caliber rifle cartridges, but perhaps with less recoil. Has it ever been more popular?

I do not know much of anything about electronic hearing protection., What I would like is something that protects hearing while shooting, but also allows for normal conversation and hearing at the range. What should I be looking for?

If all common deer rifle calibers experience a decline in muzzle velocity when moving from a longer to shorter barrel, is there any caliber in particular that is more suited for a short barrel like 16"? Which cartridge may experience the least amount of velocity loss when moving from say a 22...

I have developed a coyote problem on my land and need to get rid of them. I am considering getting a night vision or thermal scope, but don't know much about them. I would use it on a 223 bolt gun or possibly an AR. I live in a climate that is hot and humid most of the year, and often foggy...

Why use a rimfire scope on a rimfire rifle (22LR or 22Mag in my case), as opposed to a regular rifle scope? Seems like the glass quality and view I get through the scope is much better with regular rifle scopes than rimfire scopes.

What is your favorite 22 mag cartridge in a long gun?

Does anyone use a mounted light on their P365? Which do you use? The Sig Foxtrot that is made for the P365 looks like the most compact, but the Streamlight TLR7 is brighter. If you use a light on your P365, what holster do you use?

I just want to confirm that G43 and G43x slides are interchangeable. I have both, and my G43 has better sights on it than the G43X which has standard plastic Glock sights. Any reason why I can't just pull the slide off my 43 and put it on the 43X?

I would like to hear pros and cons of various calibers of AR 15s, larger than 5.56. I would not plan to suppress it. What caliber would be best in terminals of terms of terminal ballistics, reliability, and ammo availability? Specifically talking about AR15 pattern rifles, not derivatives...

I was going to add this to an existing Hellion thread, but the most recent thread when I searched had been closed down... seems like bullpups cause some people to get too excited (positive or negative) and the thread degenerated into a mess that the moderators closed. So hopefully this thread...
