I'll buy that. And take away the effects of muzzle rise and recoil, and I'll agree with your earlier post. So I guess now the question is whether this is caused by a slower bullet taking longer to leave the barrel allowing for more muzzle rise, or it is caused by the increase in recoil, causing more muzzle rise. I'm betting on a combination, but I simply lack the education to determine which is the case. I'd be interested to know, however.

I agree with this. I disagree with this. Without ajusting your sights, a 158 grain bullet from a 38 special WILL strike a target higher than a 110 grain bullet from the same gun; same sights, same distance, within reason. I'm talking 7-15 yards here; not 1000. If muzzle rise isn't the culprit for this, I'd like to hear a valid explanation. I am no physicist, and I am not intending to challenge your education. I am simply stating the results of actually firing a handgun. I have not noticed this same effect with a rifle; or at least not to a degree that one would notice.

I don't suscribe to the theory of women's and children's calibers. A certain caliber either works or it doesn't. I hunt with the same calibers my children hunt with. Surprise, surprise! We all kill deer with them.

The heavier bullet is more difficult to shove down the barrel, therefore it allows more time for the burning powder to create pressure than a lighter bullet that leaves the barrel faster. The higher pressure results in the need for less powder. Same theory at work here. The faster bullet leaves the barrel at an earlier point, allowing less time for muzzle rise before it's out and headed toward it's destination.

I like em. Older fox squirrels cannot be made tender enough to eat, however. I once cooked several gray squirrels and one old fox squirrel in a pressure cooker. The gray squirrels' meat had fallen off the bone, while I still couldn't poke a fork into the old fox squirrel.

The one you already have won't work in the winter?

email Winchester. I emailed Remington, seeking a manual for a 51 Remington pistol, which hasn't been made since the 20's, and they mailed me a copy; free of charge. If they have one available, I'll bet Winchester would do the same.

What he told you, and my experience with four wheeler tires are the same.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ THIS!!!

I thought religious discussions were forbidden on this forum.

Speak of the devil.

Cool idea. Do you think one could slug a barrel with parrifin as well? I have a couple of revolvers that I'd like to get a good measure of the bores.

Thanks for your service. I know you hear that a lot, and it doesn't put money in your wallet, buy we really mean it. Thanks.

I guess I'm the odd man out here, but I like the post count. When buying, selling, or trading on a forum, a high post count is a pretty good indication that the person isn't likely to screw you on the deal. A low post count doesn't necessarially translate into a bad trade, but the higher post count does give an indication of their stability on the site. If the moderators you currently have are in charge of the reputation point system, I can see a glaring problem arising with one in particular. You DID ask for opinions, right?

Yeah. We ALL know deer are waaaaaaaaaay too tough to succomb to a 30 caliber 170 grain bullet, unless it came out of a belted magnum.

Anything's possible, but here's my guess. If you are concerned about a powder charge that doesn't fill the case, you can buy Dacron and stuff into the case between the powder and bullet to keep the powder against the primer. That being said, I load some very weak 38 SP loads, and I've yet to have a problem with my powder not igniting. I don't think you'll accomplish much with the test you are proposing.

I occasionally watch them for amusement. Some of the cr@p they try to sell on them is unbelievable. I guess people are buying it. A blind made of a mirror? A goose decoy you sit in? Gimme a break!!!

I'll bet it kicked!!!!! That goes to prove the strength of a mauser type action; specifically, Ruger's take on the grand old design. I have no idea what kind of pressure that created, but you know it's an astronomical number. Just goes to show that one can never be too careful. I can see where something similar to that would be easy to do if you had several rifles and ammo scattered about at a shooting bench.

How bout a 4" N frame S&W revolver? Maybe a 625.

How much do they cost?

I voted for the Remington model 7 predator. I would, however, prefer the wood stocked version of the model 7. The CDL I think they call it. They are pretty rifles, and they are very light and petite. I can't say any of that about the Savage. It is big, bulky, and quite ungainly in appearance. It will most likely be the better shooter of the two, however.

YOu can buy from a private seller, but not an FFL.

Then why didn't you say "my friend" or "the guy that was with me"? It seems to me that you are using him in a veiled attempt at a threat.
