Which bullet cause more damage 9mm or 40cal bullet?
Each cartridge could be the more damaging one in specific scenarios. As far as which cartridge generates more force, has a larger crush cavity, and can expand further, the .40.
How far will a 223 caliber bullet penetrate into wood?
Sorry- there are too many variables to give you a simple answer. Depends on which bullet, fired by which rifle, at which wood, at which distance, at what angle. Depends on civilian .223, or military 5.56mm. The military round at 25 yards will penetrate more than one dozen 3/4 inch thick pine boards when hitting at a 90 degree angle. That is more than 9 inches of wood.
How far can a 300 savage shoot?
I have a fine remington model 721 in 300 savage caliber,and I handload the speer 150gr grand slam bullet in it.I have never been afraid to shoot out to 200yards with it on deer size game.This fine cartridge has been killing deer and black bear since 1926,and doing a fine job!

No, and trying it would be a very dangerous thing to do. The two rounds are not interchangeable in any way.

The 5.56 NATO comes in 55gr, 62gr, 72gr and 77gr. Bullet weight should be matched to barrel twist.
Caliber refers to the diameter of the bullet and the diameter of a firearm's barrel. Even within a single caliber, there are several variations: .38 special is different ammunition than .380 ACP (9mm short) which is different than .38 Long Colt, which is different than .38 Short Colt which is different than .357 Magnum, which is different than 9mm parabellum. These differences have to do with the size & shape of the cartridge (brass) and how the firearm is designed to shoot it. All of those calibers mentioned above are roughly the same diameter though.

Is a 4 10 bullet a 20 Gage bullet?
I think what you're asking is:
Is a .410 bullet a 20 gauge bullet??
Well, most shotguns are sized using the Gauge nomenclature. Generally, gauge answers:
"How many lead spheres of this diameter are needed to equal a pound?"
So, the larger the diameter, the larger the spheres of lead, the fewer are needed to equal a pound. So that is why the gauge system is inverted (lower number equals a larger bore: a 12 gauge has a larger diameter than a 20 gauge.
There is a shotgun size that does NOT use gauge, it uses caliber (like a bullet). This exception is the .410 shotgun--The .410 is 41/100ths of an inch, or roughly .41 caliber.
Also, shotguns usually propel several projectiles at once (called shot). This can range from the size of sand grains to marble sized pellets. Some shotgun cartridges fire a single chunk of lead which is called a SLUG (not a bullet).
So to answer your (cleaned-up) question, a .410 slug is much much smaller than a 20 gauge slug. A rough estimate is that a .410 barrel is roughly 68 gauge, while a 20 gauge is roughly .60 caliber.
What are the different types of 38 caliber ammo?
There are about a dozen different "38s" other than the .38 Special. In the .38 Special caliber, there are round nosed lead, jacketed soft point, semi-wadcutter, wadcutter, jacketed hollow point, full metal jacketed, tracer, shot loads, metal piercing and multi-ball buckshot loads.
Besides the .38 Special, there is .38 S&W, 38 Short Colt, .38 Enfield, .38 Long, .38 Remington, .38 Corto, .38 Super, .38 Auto, .38 AMU- and probably several others in my references. You can make a large cartridge collection just from the varieties of 38s.
Can you use 7MM-08 ammo in a 7MM Mag Rifle?
NO!!! 7mm-08 ammo like ALL ammo should only be used in guns specifically marked for that type of ammo. it is unsafe to use any ammo whose markings don't match the gun you are using. even a small difference like +p or mag can cause serious injury or death<, even if the ammo looks like it is the same or "fits"in the gun. if unsure of any ammo/gun please take to a local gun shop for professional opinion
What is the range of a 9mm lugar 147 grain jacketed hollow point out of a 9mm rifle on deer?
You may be able to get an accurate 50 yards or better but the real problem is that 147 grain JHP 9mm bullet won't deliver sufficient damage to the deer to reliably kill it on the spot. If you give it a lethal wound but it runs away, the animal is wasted. If you can't make a head shot, use more gun.
Can you shoot 38 Special plus P ammo in a 38 caliber pistol?
Depends on the pistol. If there's nothing about this in the owner's manual, or there is no owner's manual, you should contact the manufacturer for clarification on this matter. If you're unable to do this, a gunsmith should be able to determine this for you. .38 Special +P is .38 Special ammo, but with a higher powder content, which generates higher chamber pressures. Older .38 Special revolvers which were manufactured before the advent of the .38 Special +P cartridge did not have to be mindful of this when they manufactured their revolvers.
Can you use 38 special plus P ammo for the 1800's Iver Johnson 38?
No, and you shouldn't even use. 38 Special ammo in it, either. If it was made in the 1800s, it was probably chambered in .38 Long Colt, and that is the only ammo which is compatible with that revolver.
Do falling bullets kill people?
Depends from how high the bullet is falling. But yes, falling bullets can kill people
What is the weight of an m4 carbine projectile?
62 grains for the ball cartridge, 64 grains for the tracer, 77 grains for the Mk. 262 projectile.
Do guns use a converging-diverging nozzle to accelerate bullets to supersonic speeds?
No, bullets are accelerated by rapidly expanding gasses. Those gasses are in a cylinder only open at one end. The bullet acts as a piston, and is pushed out of the open end of the cylinder. Not all bullets are supersonic, but those that are become supersonic from the amount of acceleration, and the time it is applied.
Can you use 25-35 ammo in a 25-36M gun?
The winchester 25-35 Cartridge CAN be safely fired in a 25-36 Marlin caliber firearm. They are similar cartridges, the Marlin is a bit longer. For that reason the Marlin ammo cannot be fired in the Winchester.
How much does a 30-30s bullet drop at 200 yards?
Amount of drop will depend upon the ballistic coefficient of the projectile, muzzle velocity, atmospheric pressure, and ambient air temperature, along with the range at which the rifle is sighted in at.
<><><><>
Above is correct. ALL bullets begin falling at the muzzle when fired. For a typical 170 gr flat tipped 30-30, if the rifle is sighted in at 50 yards, the bullet will strike 12 inches below the point of aim at 200 yards. If sighted in at 100 yards, will strike 9.2 inches low at 200. (at 70 degees F temp) Other cartridges, other zero ranges, other results.
