WHere is Dand T Arms? I wouldn't mind fondling one. They look great.

Sexy! I love those grips.

As I see it, this would cause the opposite to be true. As mosinon stated earlier, all objects fall to the ground at the same rate. That being the case, the lighter bullet should reach the target in less time than the slower, heavier bullet. This means it has less time to fall, so the lighter bullet should strike the target higher than the heavier bullet. That's the gravity part. As for the wind resistance, usually, a heavier bullet of the same caliber has a higher ballastic coefficient than a shorter, lighter one, which would decrease the amount of wind resistance in comparison to the lighter bullet. That leads me to think that wind resistance may have something to do with it. It's a lot to think about, isn't it?

He has a hi point for a small summer gun, but wants a larger gun to carry in the winter. Now that I've said it out loud, I don't really get it either.

Nice stuff!

I'm not doubting you, but can this be proven? I can't dispute that theory.

Kind of like a cordless drill, huh?

A few flurries with a steady stream of scared idiots driving on the interstate.

That's very interesting. Thanks for posting.

That's what I heard!

I love this type of discussion! I should have went to college in pursuit of an engineering degree.

I'll buy that. And take away the effects of muzzle rise and recoil, and I'll agree with your earlier post. So I guess now the question is whether this is caused by a slower bullet taking longer to leave the barrel allowing for more muzzle rise, or it is caused by the increase in recoil, causing more muzzle rise. I'm betting on a combination, but I simply lack the education to determine which is the case. I'd be interested to know, however.

I agree with this. I disagree with this. Without ajusting your sights, a 158 grain bullet from a 38 special WILL strike a target higher than a 110 grain bullet from the same gun; same sights, same distance, within reason. I'm talking 7-15 yards here; not 1000. If muzzle rise isn't the culprit for this, I'd like to hear a valid explanation. I am no physicist, and I am not intending to challenge your education. I am simply stating the results of actually firing a handgun. I have not noticed this same effect with a rifle; or at least not to a degree that one would notice.

I don't suscribe to the theory of women's and children's calibers. A certain caliber either works or it doesn't. I hunt with the same calibers my children hunt with. Surprise, surprise! We all kill deer with them.

The heavier bullet is more difficult to shove down the barrel, therefore it allows more time for the burning powder to create pressure than a lighter bullet that leaves the barrel faster. The higher pressure results in the need for less powder. Same theory at work here. The faster bullet leaves the barrel at an earlier point, allowing less time for muzzle rise before it's out and headed toward it's destination.

I like em. Older fox squirrels cannot be made tender enough to eat, however. I once cooked several gray squirrels and one old fox squirrel in a pressure cooker. The gray squirrels' meat had fallen off the bone, while I still couldn't poke a fork into the old fox squirrel.

The one you already have won't work in the winter?

email Winchester. I emailed Remington, seeking a manual for a 51 Remington pistol, which hasn't been made since the 20's, and they mailed me a copy; free of charge. If they have one available, I'll bet Winchester would do the same.

What he told you, and my experience with four wheeler tires are the same.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ THIS!!!

I thought religious discussions were forbidden on this forum.

Speak of the devil.

Cool idea. Do you think one could slug a barrel with parrifin as well? I have a couple of revolvers that I'd like to get a good measure of the bores.
