load

A structural load or structural action is a force, deformation, or acceleration applied to structural elements. A load causes stress, deformation, and displacement in a structure. Structural analysis, a discipline in engineering, analyzes the effects of loads on structures and structural elements. Excess load may cause structural failure, so this should be considered and controlled during the design of a structure. Particular mechanical structures—such as aircraft, satellites, rockets, space stations, ships, and submarines—are subject to their own particular structural loads and actions. Engineers often evaluate structural loads based upon published regulations, contracts, or specifications. Accepted technical standards are used for acceptance testing and inspection.

    What's your go to load for home defense and why?

    Thought I would dredge up the age old question of what do you use for home defense and why? Personally number four buck because I live in the suburbs and everything I’ve seen online shows it has good penetration without a lot of over penetration. I also keep a Bandelier next to the shotgun...

    What Is Your Process For Finding The Most Accurate Target Load In A New To You Bolt Rifle?

    Question in title. Single feeding is fine if that leads to greatest accuracy. Please share equipment type if that makes a difference in accuracy development.

    I pretty much confirmed a solid load for The Swede today.....

    I'd loaded up three different powder rates between 41.5 and 44.5 of Win Sta-Ball 6.5. I'm using Hornady 129 Gr flat Base soft points. That was about month ago, and I wasn't' sure if it was actually a good load, or I just got lucky. The 44.5 got a couple pretty good groups. I loaded up a...

    Why The Lack Of Concern/Info For BP or Equivalent Load Pressure Levels?

    When it comes to anything smokeless related, there are great concerns and info available for pressures of load combinations. That is logical because different firearms and cases are capable of withstanding different pressure levels. Wouldn't the same be the case with BP guns? Why is pressure...
