Thank you, sir, appreciate it. So it's not really gonna make a difference to me, since I'll never shoot that far. I've never shot a modern centerfire rifle past about 200 yards, but I did take one shot at a metallic bison silhouette at 400 yards with the 40-65 Winchester cartridge at a black powder ...

Do you measure the rotation vector with a framis facilitator or a widget inhibitor--I understand it makes a difference ...(LOL) Here is the formula: The Coriolis force has a very simple mathematical form, ∝ 2Ω × V , where Ω is the rotation vector and V is the velocity observed from the rotating fram...

I've read many times of the Coriolis Effect having an effect (pun intended) at 1000 yards or more, but at what distance does it start to affect the bullet's path? 300 yards? 500 yards? 750 yards?

All input appreciated,

Some discussion on twist rate: Pairing Barrel Twist Rates with Bullet Weights for .223 and 5.56 NATO Basically for a given caliber if you want to shoot more accurately at distance you want a heavy bullet. For 70- to 77-grain bullets you want a 1-in-7 twist rate barrel. Again this is primarily for d...

There are a lot of reasons why the AR-15 is really popular right now. I've seen a Delta Force combat veteran say that if he had a choice between any pistol, shotgun, or rifle in the world for self defense he would choose an AR-15. I know people that like the Mini-14, but in the end the AR-15 is mor...

Thinking about buying either a Ruger Mini-14 or some AR15 clone for home protection ("up close and personal" out to about 300 yds). In general, which is easier to maintain, including disassembly and reassembly? Also, I understand that, because of twist rate of the Mini-14 (1 in 9), it prob...

wheelgun1958,

Excellent advice--and the .308 is probably (in most places) cheaper and more readily available than the 6.5 Creedmoor.

Thanks for your help,

I'm not too fond of semiauto rifles, so what would be the best action type for home protection in case the world goes to hell in a handbasket? I would need something for reasonably long distances (500-600 yds) and something that would be good out to about 300 yards. I know that there are rifles that...

I know that, theoretically, it may not be a good idea to seat the base of the bullet below the bottom of the case neck. But, is there any problem with seating the base of the bullet above the bottom of the case neck?

Any input appreciated,

The reason I suggested two dogs is because I read an article written by a former professional burglar. He stated that one dog wouldn't stop him from burglarizing a home, but two would.

How about a couple of Rottweilers or Doberman Pinschers?

The Annoyed Man,

Your ideas are absolutely spot on. They should have hired you to design the rifle and cartridge.

RPBrown, What I gather from that article is that they will be issued for testing purposes. This view is reinforced by the last paragraph of the article: "As units continue to test the weapons, the Army has scheduled a cold weather test for early next year, followed by a tropics test, then a hot...

Any truth to the rumors floating around the internet that the Army's new XM7 rifle is going to be canceled? Or is it just the insane 80k psi, barrel-burning 6.8 cartridge that's going to be canceled?

Hope her recovery is swift and her back problems are solved. Our prayers are with her.
