bullet
A bullet is a projectile propelled by a firearm, sling, slingshot, or air gun. Bullets do not normally contain explosives, but damage the intended target by impact and penetration. The word "bullet" is sometimes colloquially used to refer to ammunition in general, or to a cartridge, which is a combination of the bullet, case/shell, powder, and primer. This use of 'bullet', when 'cartridge' is intended, leads to confusion when the components of a cartridge are discussed or intended.
Bullets fired from slings, slingshots, and many airguns (including BB guns) travel well below the speed of sound (about 343 m/s or 1126 ft/s in dry air at 20 °C or 68 °F). Low-power handguns have muzzle velocities generally less than the speed of sound (subsonic), while bullets fired from high-power handguns (such as a .44 Magnum) and from rifles have an initial speed faster than the speed of sound, meaning they are supersonic and thus can travel a substantial distance and even hit a target before a nearby observer hears the "bang" of the shot. Bullet speed through air depends on a number of factors such as barometric pressure, humidity, air temperature, and wind speed.

OK, this has happened twice in about a thousand rounds. The bullet got stuck in my barrel. I've been able to get this out using a mallet and a punch and placing my barrel in a vice. But why does this happen & how can I prevent it?
I'm hoping you reloading veterans can help. Is this an...
Title pretty much says it all, I need a bullet mold for my 50-90. Preferable in the 530 grain range. I already have handles, just need the molds but would consider the setup. Can pay cash or trade for gunsmithing work.

So when working up a new load, if the bullet and powder manuf. disagree, which do you default too? I realize there are other variables involved, but these seem to be the primary parameters that folks focus on, and I'm going to be working with both a powder and bullet that has little published...
LIKE WOW bet you won't see this on the evening news. The Officer that was killed during the Shooting in Thousand Oaks CA. took 5 rounds the coroner said he most likely would have survived but the 6th round fired by the CHP officer on site went through his heart killing him.

My wife and I went up to Wolf Creek to do some shooting this morning. I took 3 of my guns, my new Springfield XD 9mm 4.0, a Smith & Wesson M&P .380 EZ and my Colt Trooper .357.
My wife started off with her S&W .380 EZ which shot fine for the first mag through it. She then loaded the 2nd mag...
I have used regular Nosler accubond bullets for years with great results. 3 years ago I bought a rifle in 6.5 Creedmoor and developed loads with the then new Accubond 129gr long range bullet. The lr version is supposed to expand down to 1300fps compared the 1800fps of the regular AB. The lr...

Took this all in a trade years ago and don't have a 8mm/06.. or know anyone with one. Popular, easy conversion for Mausers right after WWII. Surplus nazi ammo wouldn't arrive for quite awhile, but GI's had a lot of bring backs.
Have 60 loaded rounds of unknown recipe. A few dozen pieces of...
hey guys, I'm pretty new to reloading, and have been gathering bits and pieces right and left, and wound up with a bit of a mystery.
I got a box of 223 bullets (.224") from a friend who had them for a few years not knowing who made them either.
they are a 62 grain jacketed soft point, with a...
