Noisier, but not by as big a margin as a really short barrel. Mine is 20”. I find it doesn’t need suppression but haven’t used it in thick timber yet. It won’t get suppressed anyway. Leaving it as...

they a lot like a .22lr on steroids .... 4times the projectile weight = more than 4 times the preformance.

CNC machines are like testing jigs for electronics, great if you want to do 100's or 1000's of something but useless for the occasional build or repair

Look around for a good quality lathe (Colchester, Harrison, Graziano, Meuser, etc), second-hand but not more than 40 years old, 50mm spindle bore, 1 metre between centres with both metric and...

You people make it hard - more bang juice= bigger bang = more recoil. Equation solved, now off to go find a life.......

The powder turns into gas which has the same mass so still produces recoil based on its mass and velocity. A rifle with an extra long barrel is nicer to shoot as the blast is less due to slower...

Greetings Moa Hunter, I've read in the past that the recoil generated by the powder gasses can be calculated by using the powder charge and a velocity of either 4,000 or 6,000 feet per second. I...

W760 is a dirty powder though. I shoot it in an Ackley chambering and it's the only powder that has caught me out with the formation of a carbon ring. I've stuck with it though as it has a lower...
