What a beautiful revolver. Thanks for sharing.

Remember Kyle, the Kenosha Kid. During the trial, the DA tried to bring up Rittenhouse's use of FMJ ammo as some kind of proof that he (Kyle) wanted to cause extra damage by using ammo that would...

Speak for yourself. I keep nicking pits... :kidding:

Now that I agree with.

I'm sorry, I guess I took your question a little too literally.



Is it possible? Yes. Is it practical? Not really. Within the constrains of .357 Mag? Again, not really. Which basically...

Depends on projectile weight and starting velocity. 100gr bullet at 500 FPS = 56 ftlbs. 100gr bullet at 600 FPS = 80 ftlbs. That's nearly a 50% increase in energy. 200gr bullet at 500 FPS = 111...

It's clear you are a fan of this calculator. I am not.

That's fine, we don't have to agree. You can call that single round 'uniform' all you want, it looked rather square and lonely to me.

Here's a question. Is there ever a barrel length (<2"?) where a faster-burning powder (loaded to the same pressure) will give a higher velocity than a slower powder?

I'm genuinely curious.

Yes. Thank you. Well said.

"For example, VIRGEL can't predict bullet expansion or deal with tumbling, fragmenting, or very high velocity bullets."

For virgel to make its 'defense wound...

Nope. I have no reason to. My point was that virgel has limits. In every test of 5.7x28 ammo I have seen, the rounds have tumbled or otherwise deviated from a regular path, thus producing larger...

Sure didn't. I don't own any of those manuals which is why I asked here. I assumed someone here would have access to those older sources.

With no insult meant, I find the virgel calculations to be of dubious value. By its own admission, it is incapable of calculating/estimating/demonstrating the effects of bullets within bodies...

Thank you much!

Long story short, I was in the gun store the other day talking to an older gentlemen who said that SAAMI lowered the MAP for .357 magnum several decades ago in response to the ultra-lightweight...

I recently learned of a fascinating passage in Job 38:31 (currently believed to be the oldest book in the Bible). From the NLT, "Can you direct the movement of the stars- Binding the cluster of the...

Search for multiple tests conducted by different people of whatever bullet/caliber/gun you want. If all your data come from a single source, it is easy to be misled. Never put all your faith in a...

I think it's interesting that so many conclusions are drawn from the performance of a single bullet of a single caliber from a single gun from a single encounter in which many dozens of bullets of...

I'll add support for XTPs. I've used them in .380 and .45 (not 9x19 yet). They're easy to find and accurate out of my handguns. Can't speak to load data (don't own a 9x19, sorry) from personal...

Only have one .32 (which I will not shoot) but want another. This sounds great.

What are you calling 'mechanism?' I think trying to identify a single 'mechanism' is a mistake.

For those that indicated confusion as to SSD: "SSD" stands for Solid State Drive. It's a storage drive that uses flash chips for storage instead of a spinning, magnetic platter. They are much...

The problem with eliminating jobs is that it doesn't eliminate humanity's need to work. God made us for work and without it we quickly become despondent. I worry that pursuit of constant leisure...

I think this stuff is interesting, but I also think most of it is misunderstood. This AI's ability to respond to prompts is much wider than previous technologies, but it's still a chat bot. Wake me...

My problem is that it's a 45 minute drive to the range and it's all steal targets. Their rifle range only goes to 100 yds. I practice when I can, but that's usually something like once a month...
