Will the hollow point stop on inpact in wood?
No, it'll penetrate. How deep it penetrates depends on the projectile itself and density of the wood.
What is the difference between the 41cal bullet and the 44cal bullet?
The diameter. A .41 cal is about 41/100ths of an inch, and a .44 cal about .44/100ths of an inch, In real life, the measurements may be slightly different, but in general, the .44 cal is larger.
Can you put a 38 caliber bullet in a 357 caliber revolver?
.38 Special, yes. Other .38 cartridges (such as the .38 Long Colt or .38 Super), no.
How much powder is in a 50 cal rifle bullet?
The proper term is CARTRIDGE- bullet is the part of a cartridge that is fired from the barrel. There is no one answer to your question- it will depend of which .50 CAL cartridge- and then it depends on the loading of that particular cartridge (different bullet weights will have different powders/ amounts)
How deep can a bullet go into the ground?
To many variables. Depends on caliber of bullet, type of dirt, type of ammo, distance from gun to ground,etc...
How many grains does a 50 cal bullet weigh?
Which .50 cal bullet did you have in mind? A standard 12.7x99 (.50 BMG) ball projectile weighs something like 660 grains, while dedicated sniping cartridges might have a projectile weighing more in the vicinity of 750 grains.
Nope. I used it in my ak-47, and only cleaned it normally. Never had any corrosion problems. You can be pretty sure that all new-production ammo is non-corrosive.
Does a 22 cal bullet rise at 75 yards?
no! all bullets fall. A bullet dropped from the edge of a table at the same time a bullet at the same table height leaves a barrel hits the ground at the same time.
What ammo do you shoot through the 45 cal derringer?
The same 45 cal. ammo used in the 45 cal. revolver. This can get confusing, there are very different cartridges that are '.45'. In semi-automatic pistol the most common is .45 ACP.
The ACP stands for Automatic Colt Pistol, that is the company that developed the cartridge. But for revolvers, you would more commonly use the .45 LC (Long Colt) which is a longer round. Modern Derringer's are more typically a two barrel gun that shoots the revolver cartridge, at least in .45. There are many types and calibers of Derringers that have been made for a very long time. The best thing is to research the specific model of gun you have and get the manufacturers recommendations for ammunition.
What type of ammo is used for assault rifles?
By definition, assault rifles use intermediate cartridges. With what's currently in service and/or in circulation, that typically narrows it down to 5.56x45, 5.45x39, and 7.62x39. The Chinese recently adopted a 5.8x42 cartridge, and the old StG 43 - the first true assault rifle - still turns up from time to time in various conflicts, particularly in Lebanon. That used a 7.92x33 cartridge, which was a scaled down cartridge based on the full power 7.92x57 cartridge.
There's also lots of specialty/limited use cartridges coming out now, such as the 6.5 Grendel, 6.8x43 Remington SPC, .50 Beowulf, .458 SOCOM, etc.
You will have to experiment with 55-70 grain loads to find out which one your rifle likes best.
Yes. When the 55 grain M193 cartridge was introduced, it was originally intended to be used in a 1 in 14 pitch barrel, but this was later changed to 1 in 12. 1 in 9 will still get satisfactory results with 55 (and lighter) grain 5.56 and .223 cartridges, and is actually the ideal pitch for the 62 grain NATO (SS109 and M855) cartridges. However, the military went with a 1 in 7 pitch, because it could achieve matching flight characteristics from both the 62 grain FMJ rounds and the 64 grain tracer cartridges.
The most dynamic rate of pitch is 1 in 8, which is capable of stablising everything from the 55 grain cartridges, up to the 80 grain .223 Wylde cartridges.
A bullet fired horizontally from a rifle begins to fall?
As soon as it leaves the muzzle of the rifle. To hit a target at any distance, the line of sight of the barrel will be tilted so that it is ABOVE horizontal- and gravity will cause the bullet to curve back to earth- or your target.
