Ammunition

Assuming that you are using a scope, which places your line of sight higher above the barrel, at 100 yards the bullet should hit 1.6 inches ABOVE your aiming point. At 200 yards it will have dropped to the aiming point. At 250 yards it will hit about 3 inches BELOW your aim point. That is for a 100 grain .243. Other bullet weights will, of course, have a different path. Great deer cartridge. Shoot safe, shoot often.

Ammunition containing white phosphorus (WP) requires specialized handling and storage equipment due to its hazardous nature. This includes protective gear such as gloves and masks to prevent skin contact and inhalation of fumes. Additionally, storage containers must be fire-resistant and designed to minimize the risk of accidental ignition, as WP can ignite spontaneously in air. Firefighting equipment, including foam or dry chemical extinguishers, is also essential for responding to any fires involving WP munitions.

Yes- and if you read the owner's manual, it tells you that in the ammunition section. If you do not have the owner's manual, you can download it from the S&W website.

Yes, the SaaS MOD-generated TAR (Turn-in Acknowledgment Receipt) and TIR (Turn-in Report) documents related to ammunition issues are indeed used for turn-in processes. These documents facilitate the tracking and accountability of ammunition being returned to inventory, ensuring proper record-keeping and management within the supply chain.

Let's use the correct term. The 7mm Mauser fires a 7x57 CARTRIDGE. The bullet is just the part that comes out of the barrel at high speed. The 7x57 name means that it fires a bullet that is 7mm in diameter from a cartridge case that is 57mm long.

The .45 ACP (Automatic Colt Pistol) typically refers to a cartridge used in handguns, and the capacity of a pistol chambered for .45 ACP can vary based on the design. Standard magazines for .45 ACP pistols usually hold between 7 to 15 rounds, depending on the model. For example, a typical 1911-style .45 pistol holds 7 to 8 rounds, while some modern double-stack models can hold 10 to 15 rounds. Always refer to the manufacturer’s specifications for the exact capacity of a specific pistol.

The Ruger Mini-14 Ranch Rifle marked as .223 can safely fire the .223 AND the 5.56 NATO military cartridge. The Ruger Mini-14 TARGET model should only fire .223 ammo- no 5.56 mm

They are properly called cartridges, or shotshells (not bullets)- and the answer depends on which shotgun. Some hold 1 shell, some 2, 3 or (rarely) as many as 14. A standard pump shotgun can hold 5 shotshells, but most hunting regulations do not allow more than 3.

Category II ammunition refers to a classification of ammunition that includes items such as small arms ammunition, artillery projectiles, and other types of military ordnance that are not classified as Category I (which typically involves more sensitive or controlled items like nuclear weapons). This classification is often used in regulatory contexts, such as the U.S. International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), to manage the export and import of military-related items. While Category II ammunition is still subject to control, it typically has fewer restrictions compared to Category I items.

Tracer bullets are still used today and any downsides would still apply today. I have a hard time seeing any unique disadvantages particular to those used in WW1.

Tracers are more expensive to manufacture.

Tracers are more hazardous to store due to the volatile chemicals they employ to create the glowing trails.

"Tracers work both ways" an old military proverb explained more in depth below.

Tracers lose energy more quickly than standard rounds. Kinetic energy is 1/2mv^2. All bullets lose energy as v decreases, but tracers also lose m, meaning both sides of the equation drop over distance. Though how much of a difference this makes is generally too small to really concern oneself with.

Tracers can cause fires because they use volatile chemicals, and a starting a fire may or may not be to your advantage.

It is important to understand that tracers have a very specific job they perform. Namely they create a visible trail that allows the operator of an automatic weapon to see (roughly) the path his bullets are taking. At long distances a gunner can "walk" his fire on the target by pivoting the gun until he sees his tracers going to the vicinity of those whom are the targets of his ill-will. Soldiers however have often quipped that "tracers work both ways". That is while it makes it easier for the gunner to see where his rounds are going, it also makes it easier for those being shot at to see where the rounds are coming from.

Yes. The 44 magnum can fire 44 special ammo in the same way a .357 magnum can use .38 Special.

The same thing 9mm bullets are made of, and 7.62x39 bullets, and... well, bullets in general. The case can either be brass or steel. The projectile will primarily be lead. It may have some other type of metal inserted into it, and may or may not be jacketed with copper.

Too many variables to factor in here. The velocity it impacted at - that varies by range, density of the area it hits at (did it hit bone, did it hit soft tissue?), the type of projectile (wadcutter, ball, jacketed hollow point, etc)... all of that factors into it.

EASILY. We;ve done them with .22 Magnums before.

It depends greatly on the weight of the projectile, and the exact type of powder used. Though in general, the grain weight of a 5.56 powder charge is between 20 and 26 grains. Much more than that won't fit in the case.

If the two calibers are close in size then no. For instance, do not carry .380 and 9mm at the same time. The .380 will fire in a 9mm and could possible plug the barrel. The next shot will blow the barrel.

Components include a cartridge case, a primer, powder and projectile- a bullet or shot.

Should be good. Check to make sure the ammo is NOT marked +P. Your pistol is not rated for +P ammo.

The caliber should be clearly printed on the barrel of the weapon. If unsure, consult a gun smith.

metal, powder and lots of violence. I like cheese
