I have woodmaster 81 with 35rem on slide please tell me what shell i use thank you betty?
35 Remington.
What is the highest caliber bullet ever made?
In guns including firearms, caliber or calibre is the approximate diameter of the barrel and by extension the projectile used in it, measured in inches or millimetres. The 20mm caliber ammo is the biggest one in production.
What is causing the bullet to enter the chamber before the shell casing is fully ejected?
It's hard to say specifically, but if it's doing it all the time, it's probably an ejector problem.
How fat do you have to be to stop a bullet?
What caliber? What bullet weight? How far away from the muzzle? What is the ambient temperature? How close to the equator? What continent? What angle is the bullet going to impact at?
Can you shoot 30.06 Remington ammo in a 30.06 weatherby vanguard?
Yes - both rifles are chambered for the 30.06 cartridge.
How far can a 30-06 bullet travel?
Depending on the rifle, the 30-06 has a military EFFECTIVE range of about 1000 yards (much less for ethical game hunting) and a total range (no accuracy) of 5,500 yards, using military M1 ball ammo.
What is the most accurate rifle bullet?
The most accurate rifle bullet is the one shot by the best marksman...
Boat tails... DTAC...
That is right it is the marksman but to get technological the most accurate bullet is the chaytac 408. Bullet
Sorry... but this claim that they .408 CheyTac is more accurate than any other cartridge is unfounded. 0.5 MOA is not unique to that cartridge, and such long range performance is only achieved in purpose built rifles firing a cartridge which is optimized for that specific rifle.
A projectile leaving a barrel does not leave in a straight line. The trajectory it takes is determined by a combination of muzzle velocity, pitch rate (rate of rifling twist), gravity, wind speed and direction, etc. The .408 is no more immune to these factors than any other cartridge.
CheyTac claimed a G1 ballistic coefficient with their 419 grain cartridge, but independent testing has failed to recreate these same results.
Can a 357 revolver shoot 38 ammunition?
Yes. The only possible problem that can arise is that because the 38 special brass is shorter than the 357 brass the chamber just in front of the 38 special brass becomes a little rough due to the erosive effects of the gunpowder. 357 cartridge can then become hard to extract after firing.
How far does a 22 bullet go when fired?
Depends on the .22 cartridge, what it is fired from, and the angle of the barrel when fired. A .22 LR high velocity cartridge, fired from a rifle at about a 40 degree elevation can shoot about 1.5 miles- but there is no accuracy at that distance.

Can you shoot regular 38 caliber ammunition in a 38 special?
NO, a 38 Special is actually .357 caliber.
NO, a 38 Special is actually .357 caliber.
A 38 special is NOT a 357 magnum. Both bullet heads are about .357 in diameter. The difference between the 38 and 357 is the length of the brass case. The 357 brass case is a bit longer then the 38 special case, and the gun powder load is a bit higher then the 38 special load......
Further, you can shoot a 38 special case in the 357 magnum revolver, however, you cannot fire a 357 magnum round in the 38 special. The 38 special cylinder is too short for the 357 round......
What is the effective range for a 30.06 bullet?
Depends on your ability to shoot and the game you are hunting.
What bullet kills more people?
There are more people killed each year from a 22lr than any other gun!! There are more people killed each year from a 22lr than any other gun!!
This was the design after The Square Keep. The Shell Keep was made out of stone and was circular. These were basically a fortified version of the Motte and Bailey. The Shell Keep was made up of a fortified gatehouse, a stone wall 8-10 feet thick and 20-25 feet high, that had battlements, a wall walk, and a number of buildings where built up against the wall.
Ammo for 401 Winchester self loader?
Try Buffaloarms.com - they have the brass and may have loaded ammo. The only other place I've found wanted $9.75 for a single round. I may be getting one, but I cast my own bullets. If you want to do this go to Castboolits.gunloads.com and look around. There is a plethora of information, almost all of it reliable.
Can you shoot 5.56 mm ammo in Ruger Mini 14?
Yes you can, the mini14 has always had a 5.56x45 chamber.
The mini14 receiver is marked ".223 CAL" not ".223 rem."
The manual states this:
"AMMUNITION (580 series mini14 and above)
The RUGER® MINI-14® RANCH RIFLES are chambered for the .223
Remington (5.56mm) cartridge. The Mini-14 Ranch Rifle is designed to use either
standardized U.S. military, OR factory loaded sporting .223 (5.56mm) cartridges
manufactured in accordance with U.S. industry practice."
The 180 series Mini 14 States this:
" The Mini14 is designed to use EITHER U.S. Military, Commercial sporting, Or Other .223(5.56mm) caliber ammunition manufactured to U.S. industry standards."
Here is the .pdfs for the 580 series and 180 series mini14s listed above for verification: 180 series: www.ruger.com/Firearms/PDF/InstructionManuals/43.pdf 580 series: www.ruger.com/Firearms/PDF/InstructionManuals/55.pdf
The above means that 5.56nato ammunition can be used safely in the rifle. The Ruger Mini-14 has a 5.56 chamber but can shoot .223 Remington ammuntion. It is a common myth that the mini14 is chambered in .223 Remington. While 5.56mm NATO ammunition is identical in external dimensions to .223 Remington, there are two important differences:
1) The chamber dimensions between the two cartridges are different. 5.56mm has a longer throat or leade (the the unrifled portion of the barrel between the end of the chamber and the beginning of the rifling). This longer throat reduces pressures as compared to the .223 Remington. Consequently, .223 Remington ammunition is loaded to a lower pressure.
2) The 5.56mm cartridge is loaded to higher pressures than the .223 Remington. Taking advantage of the longer throat, the 5.56mm can safely operate at a more powerful loading level.
Firing a 5.56mm cartridge (which is loaded to higher pressure) in a .223 Remington chambered rifle (which has a shorter throat causing a further boost in pressure), could exceed the safety margin in a .223 Remington rifle. It cannot be done with complete safety.
A .223 Remington cartridge can be safely fired in a 5.56mm chambered rifle, but NOT vice versa.
Always use safe, reliable, and quality ammunition. When buying surplus 5.56 ammo make sure you examine it closely before using it in the rifle. It is also suggested in the manual that you don't use handloads in the mini-14. using handloads can be dangerous and will void the warranty if damage is caused as a result using improper ammunition.
In 1980 Mark Chapman shot John Lennon with four 38 caliber hollowpoint bullets what brand were they?
Charter Arms Undercover .38
What size bullets would a Darenger pistol be?
Original flint or purcussion pistols by Henry Deringer could be anywhere from 28 to 50 caliber. Remington Arms made several different "Derringer" pistols (note the difference in spelling) ranging from 17 to 41 caliber. The most widely recognized Remington derringer is the over/under double barrelled Elliot's patent chambered for 41 rimfire cartridges. Modern copies of these are readily available today in 22, 38, and 45 caliber. Dozens (hundreds?) of other small, easily concealed, pistols and revolvers have also been called Deringer/Derringer/Daringer, etc, by most people even if not by their manufacturer.
What is the difference between 9MM Luger and 9MM parabellum ammo?
There is no difference- Luger is a name that is commonly used in America and Parabelum is used in Europe, they are both 9x19.
