Rick,

The same but with a 500 grain lead bullet at same velocity. Not too bad for a few rounds offhand but off the bench it is a crippler.

Penetration should depend on momentum density [sectional density x velocity] at time of impact. The range would decrease rapidly because of low BC caused by low weights but if the impact momentum...

I once bought a used resizing die at a flea market. When I got home I discovered it would not screw in to my press. It was warped like a banana, visibly so. I wrote RCBS and explained what had...

My rebore was done several years ago by Richard Nickel who did several wildcats for me. His work was as good as other reborers I had used and better priced. Unfortunately Nickel has passed on.

I...

Does your wife have an unmarried sister?

Probably depends on the zinc alloy being used. If you are worried about barrel damage don't. Zinc is softer than copper. The US Navy uses zinc slugs for proof testing. I doubt they would if it was...

I like the Merit iris. If the day changes from sunny to dark or cloudy I adjust the sight. If I move from an open field where the shots may be longer and more deserving of a smaller aperture I can...

Most of mine are for handguns. Regardless I don't size any of them. That is what barrels are for,

John, If you made the barrels do you know who did the conversion? I have several little Beretta, a clones, folding shotguns and these small lightweight plinkers, small game guns have always attracted...

The advice to size boolits .001 over groove has been around so long it has become an article of faith. Personally I believe it should say at least .001 over.

In warm weather I put my bullets in a capped mayonnaise jar and set it in the sun for about 30 minutes. In the winter I set it on a floor heat register. They don't need to be hot, just warm enough to...

I sure did. Wonder how that slipped through? The older I get the more frequent the brain farts.

Did you considered that sizing after you lubed the bullets may have been the problem? Try sizing then lubing.

I have been using straight unheated JPW for over 30 years. It is unbelievable how...

Actually 7mm are a .276 bore as in the Army's .276 Pedersen. .264's would be a .256 bore. 30-06 are .30 bore therefore ".30 caliber".

With three apexes it would be a curvilinear triangle

It is just Mormons. There are a lot of non-Mormon fringe sects that still practice polygamy. Even more that practice serial polygamy.

If talking about store bought apricots I wouldn't feed them to the pigs. I grew up in some of California's prime apricot land and I can say if you ever ate a proper tree ripened apricot you would...

Own demand is okay for gas/propane units but I would not recommend for electric. They draw a lot of power and if your house already has lot of electric load it stresses the power supply. We have an...

With electric water heaters the long life heating elements with the extra long rods are worth it. Scale deposits most heavily when the water gets the hottest. A long element uses the same power but...

One can not save or store water that does not exist. Almost every possible storage site in the state is already damned. Water tables have dropped by more than 600 feet in some areas. For example...

The lighter weight of zinc bullets call for a faster burning powder than for the same bullet cast in lead. That should cut down on muzzle flash.

Zinc is softer than copper or soft iron. No reason...

The ancients could do it because they did not require the dimensional precision necessary for bullets.

They are trying to balance several factors. 1) To assure cartridge has sufficient powerful to assure humane lethality. 2) To restrict excess range to minimize risks to public safety from stray shots....

Several countries including France and UK no longer are manufacturing their own military ammunition. Instead they are outsourcing it to Asia, etc. The supply of new machinery naturally follows the...

IIRC the military said the fouling in the .223 ammo was due to calcium carbonate having been added to reduce the Ph, not because of nitro.
