Ammunition

Manufacturers. Finding out would take anywhere from a few days to a few years depending on how much money you have.

380 aka 9mm Kurz ammuntion only. BTW, the 380 and 9mm use the same size projectile. Difference is the case length.

Depending on the conditions, it ranges from 1-10 to one in a few million.

Billions.

380 and 9mm projectiles are .355 in diameter

_________________________

Most of the time, when people use the term 9mm, they are referring to a 9mm parabellum. A 9mm parabellum cannot be fired from a .380. The 9mm cartridge is longer.

The BULLET is the part of the cartridge that is the projectile. While 9mm parabellum and .380 ACP use the same diameter bullets, the CARTRIDGES are not interchangeable.

Ranger SXT.

If it's doing it regularly, it may be an extractor problem.

VERY CAREFULLY!

Open the action of the firearm. If possible, remove the barrel of a handgun , or remove the receiver of a rifle.

Using a wooden dowel that is smaller than the bore, insert the dowel in through the muzzle of the barrel, and TAP the dowel to push the bullet back to the receiver end of the barrel. Avoid using a metal rod; you don't want to damage the lands and grooves of the barrel's rifling.

THIS DEPENDS ON TYPE OF WOOD AND HOW DRY IT IS, A 2 INCH THICK TREE( WET) WOULD PROBABLY STOP THE BULLET

Either 38 S&W, 38 Special, 38/200

I wouldn't use +P ammo if the barrel is not specifically marked for it. Especially in an S&W airlite. I would not be apprehensive about using +P ammo in a Ruger Service Six, however, since it is much more robust. Even tho it is not marked +P on the barrel. +P did not exist when those Rugers were made, at least not mine.

Each weapon will exhibit a like for one or more brands. The only way to know is to assemble as many different brands/bullet weights as you can afford and shoot them.

No. You should never try to load or fire any ammo into a gun other than what it is designed to fire. A .44 caliber gun is designed to fire .44 caliber ammo.

No. You will have to have a Model 1895

18 or older

A semi-auto 22 that bore a slight resemblance to an AR-15. Try egunparts.com for the parts.

A quick response to the above statement.

The AP84 was NOT a copy of the AR15-M16. It is a decent replica of the Isreali Galil. It's .22 with a semi auto action and it is very rare. The clips are also very rare, but are the same items a fitment as the AP80(AK47) and AP85(Famas). The AR15/M16 lookalike is the AP74, with the main difference being the lack of a bolt assistor on the right-hand receiver. The AR-15 is actually the AP 75 model while I would guess the M-16 is the AP 74 model. They are slightly different as you above mentioned.

If it's a W-W Super, .303 Brittish it's not worth much. This is a common round. W-W stands for Winchester-Western (brand name of the ammo manufacturer), SUPER is a line of ammo they offer, and .303 Brittish is the caliber of the bullet. A box of 20 rounds can be bought for around $10.

From SAAMI:

With the appearance of full metal jacket military 5.56 ammunition on the commercial Market, it has come to the attention of the Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers' Institute (SAAMI) that the use of military 5.56mm ammunition in sporting rifles chambered for Caliber .223 Remington cartridges can lead to higher-than-normal chamber pressures and possible hazards for the firearm, its user and bystanders.

Tests have confirmed that chamber pressures in a sporting rifle may be significantly higher in the same gun when using military 5.56mm ammunition rather than commercially loaded Caliber .223 Remington cartridges, according to SAAMI.

SAAMI points out that chambers for military rifles have a different throat configuration than chambers for sporting firearms which, together with the full metal jacket of the military projectile, may account for the higher pressures which result when military ammunition is fired in a sporting chamber.

SAAMI recommends that a firearm be fired only with the cartridge for which it is specifically chambered by the manufacturer.

yes, the military size is the same as 223 ammo, although powder loads may be higher in the military ammo

Can't be answered without knowing the caliber, bullet weight and if it is fresh or salt water.

You will need to by as many different brands and bullet weights as you can afford and shoot them. Your weapon will show a preference for one or two.

No. Something has to make contact with the primer or cause the primer to get really hot. Dropping or hitting a round, or throwing it into a fire can cause it ignite.

35-90 or so

It depends on several factors, but a good rule of thumb is "about a mile."
