Ammunition

The highest caliber bullet commonly used is a .50 cal. However, there are bullet that are larger in caliber. the 700 Nitro express comes to mind.

Any well stocked gun shop should have some. It is not a common caliber these days, so you may have to look around.

None.

You can check to see that the primer is properly seated into the primer pocket, the brass is crimped properly and the overall cartridge length is correct. However, you can't accurately measure the powder charge and that's the most important, and potentially dangerous, component in reloaded ammunition.

The 729 Lazzeroni is a real cartridge.

Yes, may people use lead bullets for a variety of purposes.

Firing pin strikes rim, priming compound in rim ignites the powder in the case behind the projectile. Powder burns and turns into a gas which expands and propels the projectile down the bore.

In excess of one mile

TMJ = Total Metal Jacket.

Typically a lead core, with a jacket of copper/nickel alloy that completely encases the lead core.

If stored properly, upwards of 50 years

Impossible to answer without knowing who made the ammunition, and the projectile weight.

Hundreds of millions at the very least. More likely in the billions.

No, 308 Win is like the 7.62 X 51 not the 7.62 X 39. The 308 Win will not chamber in an SKS it is too long.

In the U.S. there is nothing specific needed in most states, but you have to 18 to purchase shotgun and rifle ammo, and 21 to purchase handgun ammo, so you might be asked for ID. Illinois, and I think a couple of other states, require residents to have an ID card to purchase ammo.

NO, IF YOU TRIED IT YOU WONT BE READING THIS ANSWER!

Actually, the answer is yes. You could step in front of a gun and block a bullet. Your body would likely block the bullet from hitting another person. Additionally, everyone who is shot doesn't die, in fact, it's not even most, so you could block a bullet and possibly still live to read the answer, however, don't step in front of bullets. Even if you don't die, you could be severely injured.

One more answer- no. If the gun has been fired, the human body cannot react nor move fast enough to get in front of a bullet. It is too fast, and you are too slow.

There is ammunition made for the damascus barreled shotguns, called black dawge, (yes spelled that way) made by Goex. You may be able to find it locally. If not, Midway USA stocks it as does www.powderinc.com They have 12 GA in both black powder and black powder substitute

Kevlar is a tightly woven fabric designded to slow the speed of a bullet, the idea behind this being that if the bullet is traveling slower then it will cause less damage. Early flak jackets consisted of a jacket with metal plate(s) inside the jacket. The plates were known as ballistic plates. These early jackets were fairly ineffective because they took the force of the bullet and transfered the force to the balistic plates which would conviently slam into your ribs while someone is shooting at you. This would easily knock the wind out of you, more times then not, brake one or more ribs, and not all the times work. When kelvar was invented its lighter weight was utalized in flak jackets and they became much more efective. So in answer to the question,early jackets with balistic plates were more effective then kevlar, because it wasn't invented at the time, but when it was it ws used in jackets so it's essentially the same thing.

+P ammo is rated for the .45 Springfield XD, although I am seeing that it may not cycle correctly. May want to check with Springfield.

What size shell in legnth are you asking about?

Impossible to answer. Read and post all the markings on the barrel and receiver, then, someone might be able to help.

.45 ACP.

Look on the barrel, it will be marked with the correct ammunition.

The MAB (Manufacture d'Armes de Bayonne) model D ("brevette" just means "patented") was chambered in 7.65mm and in 9mm court (short). 9mm court = .380 ACP, while 7.65mm = .32 ACP, a standard-size round commonly available. Check your local sporting goods or firearms dealers, including department stores that carry ammunition.

.32 was the standard European police and military caliber until the late 1940s, when they began switching to 9mm parabellum (9mm luger).

Unless your pistol is damaged or broken, you will have no problem firing .32 ACP, since the 7.65mm ammo sold in Europe tends (and tended) to be a bit "hotter" -- that is, a bit more powerful than that sold in the US.

Try Fiochhi or Old Western Scrounger

Caliber is the size designation for rifle and handgun bullets. Guage is the size designation for shotgun rounds.
