it's extensively tested M855 and M193 clones with only a slight powder difference to compensate for some primers that popped off in extended testing
Swaging the pockets wasn't enough; I had to trim a tiny bit into the pocket rim
Velocities are like 100fps less than leget M855; the 55gr M193 reloads is 100% on par though
I need to find some really good way to get varget to consistently fill hundreds of cases for my 77gr sierra tmk's
because varget is the best
fucking extruded powders and sliding volumetric dispensers do not mix
If you're into making recreations of military cartridges, you could try the all aluminum CETME round. http://www.cartridgecollector.net/792-x-40-cetme
I'm just duplicating modern military loads for my shooting
I cannot manufacture brass nor chambers nor bullets
2300 cartridges stuck into stripper clips
Tempted to finish loading my .458 socom
seriously considering moving to America in a few years specifically so I can have a gun and not get arrested for saying the word "nigger" with friends
all depends on how bad Australia gets and how bad America gets
I think Australia is getting close to being a lost cause however
I'll try to beat that Commie Corbyn, if I fail. I'll move to Texas and marry a woman that knows how to use a shotgun

Hello gun users and people who are intrested
i love this old dude
So, shrug
According to what I've read, stopping power has less to do with how deadly it is and more about how much kinetic energy is given to the target, effectively how well it can physically put someone down.
Like...err...a bigger push.
you're talking about the hydrodynamic shock factor
Well I'm not a firearms expert, so I welcome any education on the matter I can get.
a hypersonic round striking anywhere on the body can cause hemorrhaging in the brain
Like the 5.45Γ39mm?
vs
a large calibre supersonic or even subsonic round causing kinetic damage
any super or hyper sonic spitzer tipped round
I've heard of the AK74's rounds to be reffered to as super-sonic
vs a blunt nosed ball or wadcutter round
ak is supersonic
7.62x39mm
Hard to believe, considering the size.
hypersonic is usually referred to as above 3x speed of sound ( 3600 fps)
anything faster than the speed of sound is supersonic
Well yes, considering the word.
you can get 6.5 creedmoor +P with a 20 inch barrel to go hypersonic
I didn't say that I didn't believe you, just saying considering that the 7.62 is on the bigger size of medium cartrage class, it sounds weird.
