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.

Got some lead casting/bullet making stuff that I picked up in a package deal with some reloading equipment. I don't have any interest in casting lead bullets so putting this stuff up for sale or trade.
Here's what I have:
- Lyman Big Dipper Casting Furnace
- RCBS Lead Dipper
- Lee...
Shooting at our Lodge range this morning and had a bullet fragment hit me in the lower leg and another piece of the same bullet got my buddy. I was shooting my Sig 10mm from the bench at 20 yards and couldn't get it on paper so I went to about 12 yards and fired. There is only a small cut on my...
Anyone reloading 7.62x39 for a Cz 527? What bullet diameter are you guys using? Will .308 work accurately? or .310? .311?
Disclaimer: I know this won't be saving me money but gonna try to load deer hunting ammo so the girlfriend can use it for western washington blacktail this fall.
Internet photo... This is Brand new, I ended up with an extra, and don't need it. I use for bringing hitek coated leatherhead 300 blk 220 gr down from .311-.312 to .309 because neck stretch was keeping my upper from chambering. Works like a charm. This tool helps make ten cent reloads a reality...

I have two sets of Herters Partial Jacketed Bullet Dies for sale. One is in 38 caliber and the other is 44 caliber. The push rod on the 38 caliber set is broken but both pieces are there and I assume it can be repaired. I want to sell both of these together. I take PayPal...
A friend wanted advice on what may be causing this. I don't think he noticed it when it happened. I know the AK's threads are fairly well known for not being concentric to bore. But is there anything else that could cause this? Trying to get a precision rod, drill blank, or reamer blank to...
This video will tell you what a "Prince Rupert's drop" is, and how amazingly strong they are.
It's not the bullet that breaks them......
Here's the follow up, .38 special point blank wouldn't break it!

Newb question:
Freedom Munitions is offering 135 grain 9mm at the $.19 price that 115 usually sells for. I did the power factor math and the difference is negligible (129 vs. 132). A quick search of the googles says that the recoil will be similar but different: snap vs push. That describes...
At $99.99 per box of 10, it's not something you'd shoot often, but what an incredible view!
Oh, and if you're looking for where to buy this cool new gadget, look on your calendar and tell me what day it is tomorrow. I'll send you the pre-order link.

Maybe its nothing but at 0:56 & 1:26 in the video @1080p setting it looks like a Matrix Style Bullet trail into the target. Didn't know you could see this stuff on video or in real life
Is that what I'm seeing......
Got this some time ago with a box of parts and it just sets around. Don't go nowhere. It does shoot and doesn't seem to be corrosive. I'm thinking WWII and I have heard tales of American GI troops surprising Germans on a training exercise and the only ammo they had was this stuff and the GI's...
