You know temperature is a problem when: A biathlon competitor comments that velocity would go all to hell if it got cold enough. http://www.biathlon.net/low_temp.html Lapua makes a specific biathlon ammunition for cold weather, the "Polar Biathlon". http://www.vihta...

I'm starting to feel like a bit of a pansy, with my puny little .454 Casull, in a Freedom Arms Mdl. 83....

I wonder if the erosion problems would be so bad if you loaded that in a carbine, say a reinforced 92 action or a 1894 Marlin, I think either the 500 or the 460 would be a giggle in those platforms, It's not exactly a .460 or .500 S&W but.... are you thinking of something along this line? :shoc...

We teach a similar method in our firearms safety class only we tell the kids to hold up a finger at arms length and cover each eye one at a time. Only trouble is, I always see two fingers! The story of my life (sigh). I am left-eye dominant but not strongly so, so I have the same problem. I was sho...

National Ammo Day is coming! Knock the cobwebs off those firearms, shoot up some of that vintage ammo, and go get some new ammo! You know you are not shooting enough!

Let's face it, I'm a moron. Anyway I tried to pm nyffman and I couldn't because there's no way for me to type in who it's going to. I can get subject and the message but nothing else. There is a box along the left side labeled "Send To". Type 'nyffman' into it and click either the "A...

That's what you get for teaching her how to shoot! As you said, second-smoke is probably not a big concern, especially compared to "lead exposure".

I'm not a smoker. It pisses me off greatly to have the government at any level decide to ban certain behavior or possession of certain substances. This situation, though, should be perfectly acceptable (and is, to me). It's an assertion of property rights and company prerogative. So (to risk a thre...

My workplace gives you a benefit discount if you check the "non-smoking" box. Right now it is on your honor, so I don't know what would happen if you lied. We also get a discount for filling out a health assessment questionnaire. If the assessment exposes some "issues", you are a...

What I am talking about is the squelch to signify that the person is done talking when they released the talk button. Kinda like saying "OVER" when you are done talking. I don't want the "OVER" squelch. It has been awhile since I looked through the manuals but I seem to recall t...

In an old Guns and Ammo Video, called "Deadly Weapons", they shot all kinds of bullets (.22 - .50Browning) through brush and glass etc. and everything deflected. It's worth checking out if you can find a copy. Well... technically even a largish asteroid would deflect! It's a question of h...

It is very standard around the world that the more corrupt the government the lower the standard of living for the average citizen. A World Bank study posits that the majority of a country's wealth is in the form of "Intangible Wealth," and that the most important piece of intangible weal...

I recall reading an article years ago, where they were doing some casual field testing of slugs. They were shooting completely through a trailer house the long way, with slugs! I would think a rifle bullet may destabilize enough to not do that. Along the same lines, if a stay rifle bullet and a stra...

Apparently they don't believe that, "Cleanliness is next to Godliness", anymore....

I too would like to thank the organizers.

Thanks
