I've wanted a revolver in .327 ever since I heard of it. I actually considered buying a Single-Six and having it converted by Hamilton Bowen as an heirloom for my little boy when he's old enough. But Ruger introduced the Single-Seven last year (I think)! So I'll be getting one of those when I can save up enough. Now if Marlin chambers the '94 in it, I may pee my pants. I'd like a small 6 round revolver for carrying, but that's a small priority.

If it were me, I'd stop where you are. You won't gain as much velocity as you will pressure. You'll save wear on your brass. And you won't use up your powder as quickly. Those published velocities were most likely out of a 20" barrel. Yours are about right from a 16" barrel. Also, I'd bet that the load will work in most rifles or carbines. Function has less to do with velocity than it does pressure at the gas port.

This would be my guess as well. I once got readings of 3000+ fps from a snub .38 SPL. Yep, I was too close. Or I possibly stumbled upon the magic load that bridges the gap between handgun and rifle.

When putting back food for an emergency, low fat and sodium are not a priority. Quite the opposite. If I have to last a while, I want calorie density. And sodium is a necessity of life as well. Just get enough water to keep it balanced. I'm one of those whose home is in the hills. Unless I know you or you have some valuable skills, ammo and food, don't plan on bugging out to my home. I don't have a bug-out bag. I have a get-home kit.

I have read other articles testing the same thing. In some cases, the bullet actually does slow down after a certain barrel length. I imagine it will depend on factors like powder type, bearing surface and barrel condition. That may be something you can factor into your next round of tests. Fast vs slower powder. Light vs heavy bullets.

In my experience, crush washers don't really crush. What I've done is to lay some sandpaper on a flat surface and take material off one side of the washer until it times correctly. I'm going to find some real crush washers.

Rick shot Pete. Deanna told him to. And did it in front of Morgan and Daryl who had just arrived. And it appears that it was the "Wolves" who were mutilating the walkers' bodies. There were torsoes hanging in the booby-trapped trailers.

A good reason to rethink getting involved unless you know for sure what is going on.   http://bearingarms.com/viral-video-captures/?utm_source=gpfbp&utm_medium=fbpage&utm_campaign=gpupdate

I don't think Norman Reedus should speak unless he's in character. Where did those pictures in the backpack come from? Was that Red Poncho Guy's bag? Mrs Dictator wants civilization? They're gonna need a jail. Could have saved Reg's life. Morgan needs a blade.

Not sure about the DUI. After a certain amount of time it will not affect your permit. But the birth certificate thing is just silly. My BC has a black background, as I'm sure many others do as well. I had no problem getting my permit. Of course that was back in the '90s.

All the above. Even now, if I thought I could get away clean with it, I might consider laying a beat-down on some clown who desperately needs it. Chances of success? Very slim. Too many cameras and cell phones around these days. But yes, some people really do need it. It wouldn't be so bad if the "authorities" took dangerous drivers a bit more seriously. But had I called the sheriffs dept on the clown who nearly hit us (me, my wife, and our two-year old) head-on the other day, it would have been 'meh'. But if I were to point a gun at that same clown, they would have swarmed me like a bunch of angry hornets. Is one of those actions more dangerous than the other? Yep! The car is MUCH more dangerous. But aside from drunk drivers and speeders (and speeding is not necessarily dangerous in and of itself), ****ty driving is mostly ignored.

6.5 Grendel is going to get you closest to 400 yards.  Out of a short barrel, it may be reaching its limits, but I don't think another round will do better at that range.     Edit:  If you're not an experienced handloader, don't get into the Grendel unless you want to shoot factory rounds only.  I've been handloading since I was 14.  The Grendel presented challenges I hadn't run into before.

That's too cool. I bet the rounds were custom made too.

I read a book years ago about Special Forces in Vietnam. The author mentioned that SF preferred the "Stoner" over the M-16. I wonder if that's the rifle that he was referring to. Edit: No, it was probably the Stoner 63 mentioned above.

It's my belief (my hope, at least) that this is a joke.

Me neither. I'm getting one.

Don't think they ever were intended to be a law enforcement agency. They're a tax collection agency. Until the rearrangement after Sept 11, 01, they were under treasury. But they've seen themselves as LE superninjas for a long time now. I've never had any respect for an agency whose sole purpose is to tax and restrict my RKBA. I used to be acquainted with an ATF agent. On a personal level, he was a nice guy. But he told stories of how they would harass individuals selling guns at flea markets. I don't think agents who respect gun rights make it very far in that bureau. That's the impression I get.

How many other guns do you have that have no logical purpose? I know I have a few. Actually, it's about the length of a 1911 right? That's not too bad. Do you hunt? Hike? That extra barrel length will make some +p 147 gr 9mms really scream. Vihtavouri publishes a 9mm load that rivals .357 Mag. A 17 round .357 Mag for woods walking. Sounds like enough reason to me.

Only two options for gender? Racists.

I haven't ran into that, but it sounds to me like that would work. I would tighten up the front screw first.

Actually my very first move, unless you are absolutely sure you aren't anticipating the shot, would be to let a couple other people shoot it. "Bucking" (the opposite of flinching) will cause low shots too. It may well not be the problem, but you may want to rule it out.

I prefer sighting in at 25 yards.  You'll be a couple inches high at 100 and then back on somewhere between 200 and 300 depending on the round and the height of the sights.  

  What on earth are they going to make then?  .32 Long pocket rockets?

According to common "rules", and my experience also, lighter bullets will hit lower.  Reason being is that the pistol starts recoiling as soon as the bullet leaves the case.  A heavier bullet recoils more AND moves slower, so the muzzle has more time to rise before the bullet leaves the muzzle.  So they hit higher.   However, it never hurts to try and see what a lighter bullet will do. 

That was my first rifle. No, not that exact one, but same model. I won't be suppressing mine, but it sure is fun to shoot. It will be my little boy's someday. Nice job on that one. Your granddaughter will love it.
