Keeping it Short

HUH I'll just keep it short from now on.

not to get into a peeing match between you 2 but i think below are all the US militay bullets ever used for rifles and machine guns. they havent changed the bullet types much over histoy

U.S. Military Small Arms Ammunition Types
Rifle and Machine Gun Ammunition
.30-06 (Springfield, Garand, light machine guns)
.30 Carbine (M1 Carbine only)
.50 cal (heavy machine guns, tactical rifles)
7.62 mm NATO (M-14 rifle, M-60/M-240 machine guns)
5.56 mm (M-16 rifle, M-249 SAW)

Vara, Well you are right I do know some stuff, not to much but some. Rifles, ballistics, and accurate shooting happens to be one of them. And you Sir assume to much. What makes you think that you are the only guy that ever took Chemo??

And another thing I do know for a fact and that is "NO" 30-30 has ever been the cartridge of "Choice" for any sniper "Army" or otherwise since the Army stopped riding horse's to work. I( only mention that because of your comment about pointed or Spitzer bullets and flat nosed or rounded bullets. Any reference I made to flat nosed bullets was only to the 30-30.

Vara, I think we are probably talking about two different things and are then in fact no comparing apples to apples. I do not believe that you are talking about spitzer type bullets in a 30-30. Correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks Canadianal; Kurt

The plan is to get meat for the table(not for trophy) and to be out with friends and family providing for our families.
Anyone on here have any experience with a guide gun? They seem very popular for their weight, size and accuracy. Evidently the shoot fast and fairly straight, especially when loaded with Hornady Lever Evolution rounds.

Yes it's a Very Fine Gun to own . I have one it has a strong action and works best with Re-Loads .

Canadianal...I assume you meant "The only rounds used in BOTH rifles and machine guns". Otherwise you left out the 30-40 Krag and, yes, the 45-70 that started this thread.

One more but it's a Submachine Gun . The M1A1 Thompson that Fired the 45ACP Hand Gun or Submachine gun Round .

Sorry pope i didint think i had to go back that far, and i didnt include handgun rounds.

Dave i dont have any answers for you, its a tough subject for me to deal with too. Ill give you a little background , One frend dead shot himself, one cousin out hunting fell down a bank forward on his shotgun and was killed. My brother is a RCMP Constable and lives with the associated risk of that job every day. I do believe in gun control of pistols but at times think that its even a waste of time when i see what is going on in Toronto and Vancouver. There killing each other off like flies. Long guns are now registerd here too and you need to have a purchase card to buy ammo and a gun, this is to keep the guns out of the hands of the crazies but from what i have seen it really doesnt stop gun related crimes.
I hope they dont think that the laws will stop anything cause in my opinion gun laws are really for those who wish to obey the gun law, those that dont do as they wish.

But aren't all laws the same???? If we do away with gun laws or don't allow anymore to get on the books then should we do the same with all the other laws pertaining to all other aspects of our lives???? After all, only the law abiding citizens obey the law???? Guess I just don't see the logic. The law isn't the problem, enforcement is!!!!!

dave, i was sorry to hear about your friend but getting rid of guns aint gonna end gun related deaths, thats just fact.


have you not noticed laws have become far more restraining then say 10 years ago?

yes folks speaking of laws now anybody read the patriot act?

you can be locked up in jail forever without trail or reason, habeus corpus no longer exists. and you want us to throw our guns away, big brother has gon F-ING INSANE.

stimulus package they picked the number 700 billion out of thin air because it sounded nice and big.

but they let the automakers sink, yet they bail out criminal banking orginizations???


people int his country ahve been sucking on the hind tit of a dead cow for far to long and have done nothing. what a shame.

im mad as hell and i want this country back, damnit.

Yes Scooter We need more young Folks to think as you do . That is the First and best way to Get this Country Back .

My choice for a hunting caliber is a 270 Win.

I do not want any more gun legislation..

My solution for the madness in Washington is term limits........
I my opinion this is the only change we can make happen to promote sanity in Washington. Thru term limits for all Senators and Congressmen we can restore reason and a natural balance of common sense.

7mm magnum. Many manufacturers.

Sight it in at 100 yards and just lay the cross hairs on your target out to 300 yards no problem.
