Rock salt rounds? Possible or not? 20ft will do in most cases, no need for a sniper round.

Why?... My .45-70 would kill a fucking elephant, so again.. why? For children who don't know fuck all about ballistics? Knock down is nothing but kinetic energy the smaller and faster the deadlier. No such thing as a 70 caliber bullet by any manufacturer, because there is no such need for anything.

But, .70 cal could happen simply as a 12 guage with heavy sabot, I saw a 16 guage revolver once. not sure if I want to fire it.
Even saw a wetodd that made a .50 BMG pistol. not sure what the heck he was thinking. If a guy has tools, he can make anything.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77963234


What AK can you buy for $400? Don't buy a century arms AK. WASRS are good guns. Romanian made. Romanian made dracos are good. Basically a cut down wasr. They will have an ak looking grip, not the more modern grips. They're imported by century arms. Century arms AKs will not last. The C39 and RAS. They use cheap cast parts and don't heat treat the parts properly. Eastern european AKs use forged trunnions. All stamped AK receivers will crack around the 130,000 shots fired mark. Milled recievers will never crack. This is info from a gun range in Las Vegas. They said the wasrs are good guns. The barrels are great.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 75877201


Why do some gun barrels seem to need 5-6 rounds through them (heating them of course) to settle back into a happy constant? For instance I was competing at the Nationals many moons ago using a Win. 300 mag. at 1000yds (Winbledon Cup Match)

Unfortunately I ended up losing in a shoot-off with a 97-8X all because my rifle always needed 5 or more rounds down the barrel before settling back on zero.

We were only allowed (if I remember correctly) 2 or 3 rounds to zero and then the match would begin and my biggest fear was that I had to start with a cold barrel.

Praying for a miracle knowing my rifle had always slung out rounds at 2 o'clock when cold. I decided not to change windage and elevation and use only Kentucky windage.

As a result I found that I underestimated a bit with my 1st shot for record an 8 at 2 o'clock, 2nd rnd was a 9 at 2 o'clock (now properly warmed) the remaining 7 shots all X's for a 97-8.

I believe the winning score was a 98-4X. I never knew before hand that I would ever end up having to end up in a high level match that allowed for such a few number of sighter rounds.

I've always looked back and wondered what the outcome would have been if I had used a different rifle than the one I used that had this particular and somewhat peculiar quirk?

Question is,..Why are some gun barrels so sensitive to heat while others not so much?

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78289131


A cold barrel has a bigger cross section, and sounds like the rifling was causing it to spin out in that direction (up and to the right). When it heated up the barrel cross section got reduced enough to control the exit properly. Just a guess.

Over cleaning with a bore brush maybe? Or just shot out?
