Ammunition

Stored in moderate temperatures and low humidity, ammunition can be stored for decades.

.38 Special cartridges may be safety fired in a .357 Magnum firearm. The .38 Special is actually not .38 caliber, but is .357 caliber. After shooting them, it is a good idea to scrub the chamber well, as the shorter .38 Special may build up a ring of fouling that will make chambering .357 cartridges difficult (until it is cleaned). .38 Special is basically a .357 Short. This does NOT apply to other .38 ammo, such as .38 Super, .38 S&W, etc.

Both the .30 Short and the.30 Long rimfire cartridges went out of production about 1917-1920. They are considered an obsolete cartridge, and have not been seen by most folks that are not cartridge collectors. Single specimens are traded and sold by collectors, but are not likely to be shootable due to age. They are also $2-5 per cartridge, and would be rather pricy to shoot. Sorry-

Overnight, yes. Long term- No.

Well in excess of a mile.

Depends on the laws of YOUR state. Some states place a limit on the number of cartridges that a rifle may hold- most do not.

If it is deep, it will require surgery to get the bullet out.

Wolf ammunition is made primarily in Russian factories and is imported into the U.S by SSI, an American company. They also have factories making ammunition in Germany as well.

It depends on how you want to define powerful. A 357 Magnum has higher muzzle energy, but a 45 just has the sheer diameter of the round going for it, so id say they perform about the same disabling human targets, but as far as actual "power" persay, the 357 is technically more powerful, but that doesnt make it a better man stopper.

Anywhere from 1-14 depending on exact model

It MAY shoot. It will not shoot well. It may not shoot safely.

The .243 is a necked down .308 cartridge. You are sending a .24 bullet rattling down a .30 barrel. It may or may not trap enough gas to cycle an autoloader. It WILL blow out the case mouth.

Google Alliant Powder on first page click on VIEW THE GUIDE there is the list for reloading.

There have been rare shotguns made with 3 and 4 barrels, and in theory, would be capable of firing 3 shells at once. In theory, to do so would like hurt you badly from the recoil. Bad ju-ju.

Best for what? 38 Wadcutter is a flat front bullet used in target competition, that is highly accurate, has low recoil, and clips a neat clean hole in a paper target. Heavier solid bullets are used for hunting, and fast light hollow point bullets are used for defense.

What you are describing could be a rifle that is not loaded, partially loaded or fully loaded, but, does not have a round chambered.

Ball ammunition has a solid copper or steel jacket (full metal jacket), completely covering the bullets core, usually made of lead. The base, or back of the bullet can be exposed lead. If the base is jacketed in metal as well, it's known as a total metal jacket. The Geneva convention dictates that all small arms ammunition used in armed conflict be ball ammo, in order to avoid the truly catastrophic injuries that result from hollow point, poisoned, cross tipped, soft point,etc...

HP ammo is not illegal in the state of California.

Yes you can. The casing of .38 special shells is a mere .10 inch shorter than a .357 magnum shell and will fire easily in a .357 revolver. I've owned a .357 revolver for years and shoot .38 special ammunition in it all the time.

Side note: Don't try it in a .357 semi-auto pistol (like a Desert Eagle.) At best the gun will jam and at worst it might cause an unsafe pressure build up.

The vast majority of pistol bullets are made from 'bullet metal' which is an alloy of lead/tin and maybe Antimony - The ratio's of these are down to each manufactures choice. (Also by chemical analysis - the manufacturer can be determined)

Some pistol bullets have a copper jacket surrounding the core of lead alloy.

Rifle bullets can be as above or as there is a move from lead, as it is a hazardous substance, some bullets are now solid copper.

Military bullets, can have a varity of core substances; steal is used for armoured pircing rounds (The more correct term for a bullet), wooden bullets was even tried during the second world war.

So a simple answer would really be turned around by saying "What would you like to make them from?"

Whatever they could fit into it.

Need to know rate of twist and what you are going to use it for.

That phrase was invented by someone trying to scare a lot of people. You might as well call a hammer the same thing. The answer is NO.
