How is a bullet sized?

The size of a given bullet is determined by its diameter, and its weight. The size must match the size of the barrel it will be fired from, and heavier bullets will be longer. With cast lead bullets, after casting they are pushed through a machine called a die. This squeezes the bullet down to a precise diameter- this is called SIZING.

What is the difference between a 30-30 and a 308 bullet?

None... it is the same sized bullet (.308 diameter). You have to choose the selection of bullet when reloading 30-30 ammo for the type of bullet. A pointed bullet in a tubular magazine can present a problem when the rifle recoils. The ammo is not interchangable, you must shoot the ammo that the rifle was chambered for.


What is the affective range of a 308 bullet?

The effective range of a .308 bullet depends on the specific load, rifle, and shooter skill, but generally ranges from 800 to 1000 yards for accurate shooting on a human-sized target. Beyond this distance, the bullet's energy and accuracy decrease significantly.


Which is bigger 9mm handgun or 45cal handgun?

45 = .451 9mm = .355 The .45 handgun throws the bigger and heavier bullet. The 9mm fires a lighter and smaller bullet, but at a higher speed. The size of the guns that fire either of these rounds could be the same size. Both 9mm pistols and .45 pistols come in full sized guns, compact guns, and even sub-compact or micro sized.


Can you shoot 50 cal out of a 54 cal?

No. Not only will accuracy be worse than a thrown rock, it is potentially dangerous. If the bullet moves forward before firing, it will leave an air space between the powder charge and the bullet. This is an established way to blow up a muzzleloader. Use the right sized bullet for your rifle.


Can bullets fall out of the barrel of a muzzle loader?

If they do, you loaded it with the wrong bullet. Bullets are a "squeeze fit". They may be wrapped in a greased cloth patch, or be made of really soft lead having grooves filled with grease. A properly sized bullet requires a strong push to fit it into the barrel. If the bullet did not stay tightly against the powder, but moved a few inches away, the gun would be destroyed on firing.
