Never heard of jumping the powder.

My 22mag must be trying to imitate your 25-06. I can't get it to shoot under 3 inch groups at 100.

Not really stupid stuff people say but did everyone see that post about Franklin "Reformation" with straight rifling shooting special bullets? I'm still not sure if that is a hoax, or did they really produce this rifle tube with trigger.

^ ^ ^ ^ ^

there are piles of animals killed every year at "500" yards

probably as many that are hit fatally and never recovered or looked
for because they didn't fall right away and ran maybe 10 yards and
fell just out of sight

Guy I know claimed to shoot an elk at 500 yards running with a 7mm mag. He said he held the crosshairs on the tip of the bulls nose to compensate for lead and drop. Didn't believe it then and don't now.

Lots of cartridges are somewhere between 2.0 and 3.0 Mil at 500 yards, from a 100 yard zero.

In inches, at the target, that's between 36" and 54" of elevation.

I'm not saying he didn't, but I'm not saying he did either.

It was supposedly also standing on a running 4 wheeler and off hand at dusk lol. He has a lot of good stories.

Well, that changes things a bit.

A .44 mag will go clean through an engine block ....

"Blow your head clean off"

Glocks never jam
AK’s never jam
You can’t shoot lead bullets in a glock
Open carry makes you a target
Don’t put a grip plug in your glock; the air comes out of the hole and will cause a malfunction if it’s plugged
Uzi is what you need for clearing rooms
You can’t miss with a shotgun
12ga loaded with 00 buck is the best HD gun, even for your 78yo grandma. You can’t miss.
30-30 isn’t powerful enough to kill deer/bear/hogs

This is only the beginning.

.223 isn't enough gun for deer or hogs. It may not be the best choice, but it will do the job.

They should set up bleachers and serve refreshments at Academy gun counter! And Wal Mart check outs.

You just gotta file down that pin to make it full auto

It's true. I have seen it happen several times in movies.

You can actually do that with a 10/22, it's why I mailed my trigger group to Brimstone. I feared I'd screw it up and have to replace.

No Doubt! If Steve McGarrett on Hawaii Five-0 can shoot down a single engine aircraft with a S&W model 36 38 special, I do not doubt anything firearm related being possible.

Chad, this may be an ignorant question, but can you tune the powder and charge for various different "XX grain weight bullets" to make it shoot regardless of barrel twist?

That the 6.5 Creed is the only cartridge you will ever need and that it is better than a 270!

That would be a NO. Rate of twist imposes limits on bullet lengths (and by extension, weights) that will work.

"I've got a .220 swift and the barrel will only last 100 for a hundred rounds"

Like what RR said, if the bullet is adequately stable for the twist for the barrel, I can generally get it to shoot well. There are some rifles that I have shot that we tried an aggressive bullet for that rifle set up (short mag box, bullet seated deep, long jump to the rifling, or slower twist rate) and I simply could not get it to shoot for good accuracy (acceptable accuracy). There are those rifles that are finicky. Finicky rifles, I drop down in bullet length (shorter bullet) to a flat base soft point, which is generally lighter, and then slow it down some. I'll also go to a faster burning powder for that combination (bullet weight vs cartridge). Faster burning powders in a given combo have a much larger sweet spot, or accuracy node. There are some calibers that do not like to shoot well at the top speeds, like a 26 Nosler. I can push a 140 grain 150-200 fps faster, but it shoots like crap. Slow it down a little, and it's a hammer.

But I have taken many rifles that a customer said, "My rifle doesn't like XX bullet". They want to shoot that bullet, so I tell them let's go with it, and I make it shoot it very well. They are shocked when I do. That's why I say it's not the "bullet" that the rifle dislikes, it's the load used with that bullet that the rifle doesn't like.
