Ammunition

Accurately- about 50 yards. How far COULD it go- no accuracy, fired at about a 45 degree angle? About 1500-2000 yards, depending on the gun.

Probably Match quality semi-wadcutter (depending on exactly WHICH competition you mean) The ammo must cycle the weapon without failure, provided consistent speed, and an accurate bullet. Semi wadcutter feeds in most sem-auto sidearms, and clips a neat, clean hole in a paper target for easier scoring.

Accurately- about 100 yards. Total range, fired at a high angle, no accuracy? About 2500 ft, depending on which 44 bullet, and which gun it is fired from.

1.) Case

2.) Bullet

3.) Powder

4.) Primmer

The MP40 utilized 9mm bullets, in a 32-round stick magazine.

Commonly called the 8mm Mauser, the bullet is actually 7.92mm, but that term is not in everyday use.

Several. I have a Browning Hi-Power, a Glock, and a Para-Ordnance that hold 12-13 cartridges. And there are many others.

Only revolvers, which use cylinders, rather than chambers. Any .357 Magnum rifle or semi-auto pistol won't be able to, as you won't get proper headspacing in the chamber with the .38 Special.

yes, at a sporting goods store

The .41 Colt LDA (Long Double Action) is in very limited production, and may not be available from the average sporting goods store. It can be ordered from specialty companies, such as Buffalo Arms (see link below) but is very pricy- about $72 + shipping for 50 cartridges.

No. Dimension-wise, they are similar, but there are differences in neck angles and case thickness. .223 Remington ammo can be fired in a 5.56 chamber, but 5.56 ammo should never be fired through a .223 Remington chamber.

Caliber is in reference to the diameter of the bullet. A .40 (which is what I have) is .40 inches in diameter. A .50 caliber is .50 inches in diameter (half an inch). So a caliber is the inches in diameter. Not including the 9mm which I cannot stand

No. The S&W .32 long is a RIMMED revolver cartridge. Your SACM is an auto pistol, and uses rimless ammo. See the link blow- it includes a pic of the cartridge. Sorry. PS- MOST rimless ammo headspaces on the MOUTH of the cartridge case. Where a revolver can shoot different length cartridges, the auto pistols are pretty well tied to the exact length cartridge.

No- but what you can have, and where you can have it is regulated.

Not sure what an HW3 is, but if it is a firearm chambered for .22 Long Rifle, no, it cannot be "rechambered" to .22 Magnum. The .22 magnum fires a larger diameter bullet than the LR, and has higher pressures. The two cartridges do not interchange except in a few revolvers that have 2 cylinders- one LR, one magnum.

Couple of different answers to your question. With a FIRED bullet, grooves that spiral around the bullet are ballistic markings- lines engraved by the rifling in the barrel. In the case of grooves that run around the bullet, and filled with a waxy substance, those are grease grooves that hold lubricant. A single groove with no filler is a cannelure- spot for the cartridge case to be crimped into to hold a bullet snugly before firing.

That depends on which 5.56 round you had in mind.

The original M193 cartridge used a 55 grain projectile.

The current M855 and SS109 NATO standard cartridges use a 62 grain projectile.

The M196 tracer (which complimented the M193 ball cartridge) uses a 54 grain projectile.

The M202 cartridge used a 58 grain projectile.

The experimental XM287 and XM288 cartridges used a 68 grain projectile.

The M856 tracer (which compliments the M855/SS109) uses a 64 grain projectile.

The M995 armour piercing cartridge uses a 52 grain projectile.

The Mk. 262 Mod. 0/1 cartridge uses a 77 grain projectile.

No, propellent is not ammunition. Propellent in a case, with a primer below it and a bullet above it, is ammunition.

First, the term is cartridge. Bullet is the part of the cartridge that comes out of the barrel.

Second, the MG42 holds NO cartridges. It is a belt fed machinegun, and has no magazine inside the weapon. The belt hangs outsdie, and has metal links that hold the cartridges together. A standard belt is either 50, 75 or 250 linked cartridges.

line of flight, or you can also call it a parabolic arc.

Rossi is coming close with a single shot rifle ( the wizard) with interchangable barrels. They boast 21 different combos and include shotguns. As far as a gun that can shoot everything from a 17 HMR to a 50 caliber bullet the answer is no.

Possibly the .14-222, at 4,465 feet per second. It is a .222 necked-down to a .14 caliber and was created in 1985 by Helmut W. Sakschek.

22 Long Rifle

No, you cannot, unless a dedicated. 30-30 barrel is provided and used.

Should be marked on the barrel. If not, have it examined by a gunsmith BEFORE you attempt to fire it.
