    Tungsten bullets???

    Hi, Just read up on the properties of Tungsten.
    Anyone ever tried to use this stuff to make bullets out of?
    Since it melts at 6000* or so, guess smelting/pouring is kinda out of the question,
    so...

    Just read an article in ammoguide about the Win 284. Excellent cartridge, bad PR on Winchesters part. Seems like it has the capability of 1.5" @ 1000 yds in some contests, according to the article....

    I plan to take my 1895CB and have the barrel reamed to at least a 45-90. I have even toyed with the idea of 45-120, but would need to see how much metal is left in the chamber area??? Then the...

    If I read the article right, he used a cast bullet 300gr in a 45/70 and wondered why it deflected. My question to him, that didn't get submitted, was what would the Hammerhead 540's have done in the...

    Hi Wills,
    The twist rate listed on the Marlin is 20? I think. The twistrate on the 50bmg is 15. But the velocities are at opposite ends of the table. I plan on pushing the 750 out the tube at...

    Hi Sharpshooter,

    Thanks again for all the input. I shoot the 750gr 50bmg rounds over here and they have a pretty hefty kick. Would be much worse if the compensator wasn't on the end of the barrel.

    Thanks for the info.
    The reasoning for the longer chambering is for the longer bullet. I realize they will have to be hand fed for the first shot, and hopefully that will be all it takes. When I...
