Ammunition

I do not own an 1894 but I have successfully loaded the 265gr for my .44 Rossi 65SRC and the results are very good

I highly doubt it. 38 caliber is normally .357 inches in diameter while a .30-.30 is normally .308 inches. For you metric people, that is approximately 9mm compared to 7.62mm. Think of trying to stuff a baseball into a hole the size of a golf ball.

It depends on the rifle. The .300 Winchester Magnum has a muzzle velocity in excess of 3000 feet per second (914 meters/sec). The .338 Lapua Magnum runs about 823 m/s (2,700 ft/s). The .50 Browning is in the same general range. All are handloaded for sniper use, so details may vary with the bullet weight and adjustments made for the particular rifle and scope.

This is because Obama is now presedent and he once tried to ban all ammunition sales in his state before he was president.

Damage. How much depends on the gun that fired the bullet that hits it.

it probably would explode

No.

Depends on the EXACT model and who made it. Could be anywhere from 2-8 rounds.

No.

You can only use .30 carbine ammo or the European designation 7.62X33 ammo

Go to the RCBS reloading die website.

All else being equal, the one that has more foot pounds of energy.

Do you mean a cartridge casing or the actual bullet?? One used in combat or just a WW2 era casing??

Wadcutter is a description of the type of bullet, similar to 'full metal jacket', 'hollow point'... Wadcutters are usually lead cast without a copper jacket, they have a completely flat top. More often you will find 'semi-wadcutters', they are angled then come to a flat point that is about half the total diameter.

44 special and 44 magnum only

Despite rumors- No. There is no reliable way to make ammunition that will stop working at a specific date.

Depends on the caliber.

Any firearm chambered for .223 or 5.56mm

Actually, the proper name is "cartridge." The term bullet is an extremly common but incorrect usage when referring to a cartridge. The term bullet only refers to the piece of lead that comes out of the barrel when the gun is fired. The bullet is one component of the cartridge.

The .38 Smith & Wesson cartridge was created in 1876. It is a shorter, fatter, less powerful cartridge than the .38 Smith & Wesson Special, created in 1899 (they cannot be interchanged). The .38 Special +P is a .38 Special cartridge that is loaded to 10% higher energy than a standard .38 Special. The .357 Magnum is a longer version of the .38 Special that is loaded to MUCH higher energy than a .38 Special +P.

"Less lethal" is a very subjective term, however, a hollow point bullet is generally considered to be more effective in regards to stopping an adversary than a round nosed bullet.

The barrel will be marked with the ammunition it uses.

A 500A is a 12 gauge and can use any factory made ammunition that's up to 3" long. That includes all 12ga birdshot shells either 2 3/4" or 3", all 12ga buckshot shells, and all 12ga slugs of the same lengths.

lead.

Only in firearms chambered for it. SIG comes to mind, but, there are others.

it is a 32 round a clip 9mm.

Basically, jacketed, semi-jacketed, lead, in the following types: round nose, wadcutter, semi-wadcutter, hollow point, flat base, boat tail.

as well as high velocity and soft points, as well as copper tipped HV rounds.
