EDUCATIONAL ZONE #111 Educational Zone #111 – Restoring an Old Shotgun. Tweet. I recently took my stepson Abel out to shoot shotguns, as he had never shot a shotgun at an aerial target before. We had fun, but the double barreled shotgun he was using was kind of heavy for him. I decided I’d be on the lookout for a nice 20 gauge single shot for his firstshotgun.
THE BOX O' TRUTH #33 At 10 yards, you might break the skin with a couple of grains, but nothing very serious. At 12 feet, you might get the desired effect, if the desired effect is to “burn” the target with the rock salt. At 4 feet, you might cause a wound requiring a visit to a hospital for a human, or maybe death to a small animal. EDUCATIONAL ZONE #133 Educational Zone #133 – The S&W Model 25-5 .45 Colt Revolver.

EDUCATIONAL ZONE #37 Educational Zone #37 – Scoping a K-31. Some of us have been fascinated by the Swiss K-31 C&R rifles. They are very fine rifles, well built, and shooting very accurate ammo. The military sights on the rifles are excellent sights and I can shoot them about as well at 50 yards as any rifle I own. But these eyes need a little help at 100yards.
THE BUICK O' TRUTH #4 As I said earlier, this old Buick is one tough bugger, but we have a complete passthrough with one 7.62×51 round, one that dimpled the door, and a couple of 5.56 rounds that dimpled the passenger door. Next up, the AK firing the 7.62x39mm round. And the Dragunov rifle firing the 7.62x54mm round. The 7.62x54mm is actually a more powerfulround
THE BOX O' TRUTH #44 The IC pattern was 7 inches wide and the Full was 6 inches wide. Not much difference, but slightly smaller group with the Full Choke. Now let’s try some Remington Low recoil, 8 pellet, 00 Buck. The IC was 3 inches and the Full was 1 ¾ inches. That is an amazingly tight group with either choke. VERY ACCURATE .22 AMMO Very Accurate .22 Ammo. I am always on the lookout for some accurate .22 ammo. It has been scarce lately, but I did find some here and there. Our friends at AIM had a sale last week and had some .22 target ammo for sale at reasonable prices. It is some GEMTEC Subsonic .22 LR, 42 grain LRN ammo for $47.50 a brick (500 rounds).

It has been a while since we have seen any .303 British military ball ammo available for sale. It almost brings a tear to my eye when I remember how cheap some of the .303 milsurp was back in the day. I bought a lot of it back then, but I should have “bought it cheap and EDUCATIONAL ZONE #156 Educational Zone #156 – The M-1 Carbine Is Not Accurate At 100 Yards. Tweet. I figured that would get your attention. My buddy Steve (doc540) sent me a note and said he had his M-1 carbine that he had ordered from the DCM way back in the 1960s. He also had .223 HOLLOW POINT PENETRATION 333. Kendahl said: I have heard a .223 rifle loaded with hollow point ammunition recommended as a home defense gun.

The 12 gauge slug finally met it’s match with sand. The soft lead slug was flattened out and stopped quickly. The .45-70 hard-cast bullet penetrated a little better than the soft lead slug, but not a lot. And the sand tore it up pretty quickly. And lastly, sand is a good barricade material.

(But we had to have a change in plans.) EDUCATIONAL ZONE #133 This round was very common, especially after Sam Colt designed the .45 Colt Peacemaker, also known as the Colt Army Revolver. It is said that a cowboy was once asked why he carried a .45. His answer was, “Because Sir, Mr. Colt doesn’t make a .46.”.

THE BOX O' TRUTH #20 The Box O’ Truth #20 – Buckshot Patterns. On a recent post about sight off-set, we discussed using 00 Buckshot at close range. My friend dport wrote me and said, “I believe that the new “Reduced recoil” loads will pattern smaller than what you shot. Also, I’ve heard that they pattern smaller at longer ranges.

THE BOX O' TRUTH #35 Because that 600 grain load is composed of 333 #6 sized shot, each weighing 1.8 grains. And the penetration of the shot is dependant on the weight of “each pellet”, not the total weight. And a 1.8 grain pellet will not penetrate very far into a goblin. That is why THE BOX O' TRUTH #54 The Box O’ Truth #54 – Busting an Engine Block. Back in the early 1970s, I was told, as a young policeman, that one of the advantages of the .357 Magnum was that it would “bust an engine block”.

EDUCATIONAL ZONE #98 The purpose of using a benchrest is to “remove the shooter” from the equation as much as possible, so that we can test the rifle, ammo, or sights. First we need some equipment.

A SMALL LESSON ABOUT BULLETS I went to the range this morning with no intention of posting about anything. But I observed something I thought you guys might be interesting in seeing and talking about. I took my S&W 686, .357 Magnum pistol, stainless, with a 6 inch barrel. It is a fine shooter. Here it is. I wasn’t shooting .357 Mag loads today. I was shooting some .38 Special full wadcutters with a light load for accuracy. I was shootingat
THE BOX O’ TRUTH – WILL A BETTER TARGET IMPROVE ACCURACY WITH IRONSIGHTS?
My old buddy j97531, who I will call Matt, recently had an idea for the Box O’ Truth. His question was: Will a better target improve accuracy when shootingwith iron sights
?
We discussed how many targets work, such as in Military Rifle Matches. They use a large circle, with smaller circles inside it to score the target. But the entire target can be as big as 5 foot in diameter, as it is shot at 100, 200, and 300 yards. A LOVELY DAY AT THE RANGE AND AN IMPORTANT FACT Today was a nice morning, so I decided to make a range trip. The lovely wife decided to go with me. She likes to take photos as a hobby. I shot my Remington 700 VLS in .308. It shot great as usual. Here are my groups for it, with the best one being about .43 MOA at 100 yards. And here’s the smile of a guy that just shot a ½ inch group with a fine rifle. I also shot my Swiss K-31 with a Tasco 4-16 power scope on it. HOW DOES BARREL LENGTH ON A SHOTGUN AFFECT VELOCITY?
