Hunting - June 2007

I have 4 guns, 1 is an ak74 variant, semi auto, 5.45 x39mm 30 rd magazine.

-another is a kel tec 9mm carbine w/ laser sight and 30rd magazine

i have 2 shotguns, 1 remington 870 express 12 gauge, and a mossberg tactical 12 gauge, both pump action

For the shotguns I'd have the 1st round buckshot, 2nd buckshot, 3rd slug, 4th buckshot, 5th buckshot, and 6th a slug

Which one of these would you grab first for home defense. Say a person enters the home, which would you want to grab to knock that guy down, with the objective of killing him. Do not worry about home damage in your responses.

i got a high powered pellet gun with a scope on it and everytime i see a rabbit or somthing in the distance i have to change the windage and elevation on the scope but its hard to tell how far away i am from it like in yards. and on my scope its 1/4 inch click from 100 yards and if i zeroed it in at about 30 yards and my target was 100 yards away would i need to adjust up or down?also would i need to adjust it to the left or right either?i havent even killed anything yet and i had my gun for about 3 months but i killed one 1 squirrel by luck

For projectiles, 45° is only necessarily the optimal launch angle if ALL of the following apply - otherwise you have to consider specific cases of the eqns:

- the elevation of launch and landing are both equal => s_y(0) = s_y(t1) (usually taken as reference 0, but it's irrelevant)

- there are no obstacles to be cleared along the trajectory
(i.e. elevation of the terrain s_y(x) <= 0)

- there is no (or negligible) wind or resistance force (e.g. air resistance) => a_x = 0, a_y = -mg

- there is both correct rifling and the bullet is balanced, so that the projectile does not exhibit precession and yaw off at unreliable angles. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rifling)
For a gun, the bullet fits the barrel, the grooves are correctly machined to match it, and the exhaust gases are symmetric (may depend on venting).

- For a weapon, the shooter did not move while shooting.
Not sure if the terrain affects whether recoil forces work.

How many more valid reasons can you suggest?

There are good reasons why I hunt, but there are also bad. I only do it for the good reasons, but I just want to know what y'all think about it.

This is going to sound like I'm stupid, but I'm going to ask it anyway.
I do a good deal of shooting, I currently own a Remington 700 BDL .30-06, and a Winchester Model 70 Carbine .243Win. I also have, in my possesion a Marlin Model 60 .22LR and a Marlin 336C .35 Remington. I was also a 2nd Award Expert in the Marine Corps. Having said that. Can anyone tell me what a 'boat tail' means when applied to rifle cartridges? I know that it is the shape of the rear of the bullet, but no one can tell me how that affects it's performance. Answers are great, references are better. Thank you.

Hello... Well, I recently purchased an IWI / MRI 9mm 'Baby' Desert Eagle(Jericho 941).
I have successfully fired over 350 rnds. of Winchester 115g. FMJ and JHP 'Whitebox' with this firearm. However, I'm searching for more info on premier 'self-defense' and 'range/target' rounds [non (+p) or (+p+)] for this firearm. Also... are the $40+, 250 round box; Remington UMC 115g. rounds any good for target practice?

I like the style of the compact polymer where the barrel lines up with the frame instead of extending over, but I want to get it in 10mm which they don't make for that model. Is it possible to do this or am I just going to have to stick it out with a different model?

It has the front sight on it and I dont use the scope that it came with because with the scope I was getting groups of 3 inch without I get groups of .5 inch. I need a way to remove the sight. When I looked at the crown I seen a piece of metal on one side of the crown.

I read in "American Gun and Hunter" magazine that the Bald Eagle population is now at 10,000, and that when it gets to 15,000 (est. 5-7 years) that there is a proposal to make available 1000 tags, by lottery, for the eagles. The states with the highest eagle populations would be allocated the most tags. Hunters would be allowed to hunt with center-fire rifles, shotguns, or archery equipment. The article pointed out that this would make it legal for any American to possess eagle feathers. As it stands now only American Indians can possess eagle feathers. Many hunters think that a Bald Eagle would make a beautiful trophy, but many disagree.
