How to calculate the caliber of a bullet?
Q. How to calculate the caliber of a bullet? Such as if the bullet weighed 750g and was 4 inches long ( including ogive) 3 inches in length (point to point) and 0.5 inches in diameter at widest point. What would the caliber of this bullet be and what's the formula.
Asked by Hamza - Sat May 3 10:44:40 2008 - - 1 Answers - 1 Comments
A. Caliber of a bullet is typically the diameter of the bullet in hundreths on an inch. In your case, that would be 50 caliber (50/100 inch). 38 caliber is 0.38 inches, 44 caliber is 0.44 in, and so on. There are exceptions. 357 caliber is not 357/100 inch, but 357/1000 inch, or .357 in. 308 caliber is 0.308 in.

What is the best caliber for white tail on the market?
Q. I want an acurate caliber for a white tail. I want it to be big enough to kill it 1st or 2nd shot. I will make shots anywhere from 50-400 yds so i would need a pretty powerfull and long range round. I will also shoot through rough forest and open field. I will be using a scope.

A. Simple truth is, there is no best calibur, just whats best for you. Pick whatever your comfortable with in the high power range (or shotgun ga for slugs) and go with it. Since you say that you'll be in rough forest, you may want to consider a shorter barrel length. Any good high power will do the job in the range you've indicated. A good shotgun will do just fine in close ranges (mine is very accurate to 150 yrds). Once you pick the calibur you want, you still have to decide whether or not you'll use a scope. With the longer range shots, I'd advise one.

What Is the highest caliber pistol and what is the highest caliber gun?
Q. what is the highest caliber any gun has had ant what is the highest caliber a pistol has had.
Asked by Mechanical Svperstar - Sat May 3 20:51:05 2008 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments
A. When speaking of firearms, caliber means the diameter of the bore in inches or millimeters. There have been sporting rifles which fired huge 4-bore cartridges with bullets weighing 1750 grains (1/4 pound) and bore diameters of .935 to .955 inch: Howdah pistols were used defensively in the days of British colonialism by men hunting tigers from the backs of elephants. They were huge, up to 12 bore, or .73 caliber. The largest today is a .600 Nitro Express. Here is a link about it, with video of the owner firing it: During WWII the Germans had guns mounted on railway cars, called Schwerer Gustav (English: Heavy Gustav) and Dora. They had 800 mm (31.5 inch) bores, and fired shells weighing 7 tons close to 40 miles.

How do we measure the caliber of a rifle and a gun?
Q. They are mentioning about the caliber of certain weapon, but how do we measure and know it? You mean .50 calibre weapons fires a bullet with 5 inches of diameter??That bullet is surely big..
Asked by brainymixer - Tue Apr 10 14:24:00 2007 - - 7 Answers - 0 Comments
A. The second number in 7.62 x 39mm is not bullet length, it's case length. Bullet length is not reported. So, in this case, the bullet diameter is nominally 0.762cm and the length of the brass case (or steel case in some cases) is 3.9cm long. The more powerful 7.62 x 54mm rifle round would have a bullet the same diameter, but a case 5.4cm long. Additionally, you may see some weapons listed with an "L" number. For example: 75mm L24. This listing has the bore diameter (nominally 7.5cm here) and the length of the BARREL in calibers (multiples of the bore diameter) following the L. In this case, the barrel length would be 24 x 7.5 = 180cm long. This is generally only reported in large caliber weapons.

A. I have been reloading rifle ammo for a while. On average you can role your own for about one-third the price. The price differences aren't nearly as dramatic with handloads as they are with factory loads. The pricing is diffents mainly on the raw materials - there's more lead in a 30 caliber bullet than a .243. You can save the most money reloading something semi exotic and expensive. Here's some examples: .243 reload for $7 a box / factory stuff $15-20 .270 WSM reload $9 a box / factory stuff $27-40 These numbers assume you can get 10-15 uses from each piece of brass. You will not save nearly as much money trying to reload military calibers as you will hunting calibers, military stuff is pretty rock-bottom priced to begin with. … [cont.]

A. A 20 gauge will work fine with # 6.5 shot for squirrel's and #3 buck for fox and coyotes. And a 223, 222, and a 22 250 are all the same diameter as the 22 but the 22 is a rim fire rifle. the others are center fire and go much further. But the22 is much shorter and don't go as far because they have less gunpowder. Also for foxes and wolves you could use a crossbow, or compound bow.

I would go with the 7mm mag, .300 mag spoils too much meat, IMHO, .308 is not bad, but it's a compromise round, not as fast as the 7mm, and not much heavier in factory loadings, .243 is excellent sheep/deer/varmint gun, but not much use on larger game unless you're a spectacular shot, whereas the other three will take anything in North America short of a jeep. I think the versatility and the availability of 7mm mag would make it my choice out of these cartridges. It is the most popular medium bore cartridge right now, with my all time fave 30-06 coming up second last time I say a Field and Stream list.

Although It's been known to ricochette off of car windshields under some circumstances. Beginner or expert, I feel that the .40 or .45 cal will give you the security you want. if ya want to see what I mean, go get a few melons and a few different cal.s of handgun and see what ya think.

What does it mean if the 38 caliber bullet is too long?
Q. I have a harrington and richardson hammerless pistol. I think it is a 38 caliber gun. I am not sure though, my grandpa left it to me. I tried using 38 special. If I put the bullet in the muzzle and it doesn't fit does that mean it is not a 38? Because it fits in the cylinder(but it won't close because the casing is too long) and it is pretty snug, it is not too loose. Can the bullet seem too small for the muzzle, but then work fine when fired? I don't want it blowing up in my face.So I need two answers really. What bullet has a smaller casing that would fit into the cylinder, and how can I be sure it doesn't take a smaller caliber like a .32 or something?

Q. I am about 5'6. From my wrist to the tip of pointer finger measures about 7 inches and from the tip of my thumb to the outward edge of my hand measures about 6 inches. Are my hands big enough to hold and fire a .50 caliber desert eagle comfortably?

A. I have small hands. My moms are even tinier. We both found no problem firing the D.Eagle because of it. But yes, you WILL notice it's unusual size... All hand sizes will. Edit: And forget Colter, he doesn't know what he's talking about. The 1# thing you'll actually be using your gun for is poking holes in paper and having fun! While impractical, the Desert Eagle is one of the funnest guns I've ever fired.

A. On the M2 .50 cal, the bolt carrier group is 'floating', allowing it to slide back and be absorbed by the two buffer springs. Plus, when you switch barrels, you screw them on all they way, then screw it back the opposite and hear the 3 clicks. That ensures your barrel and your bolt are in measurable distance. If not, you'll have a dislodged bullet or worse. You have to change them after a certain number of cycling fire so your barrel don't warp. The M82 Barrett, the whole barrel and bolt carrier floats. This eliminates the hard recoil, allowing you to keep your sights on target. The awesome design fully absorbs the kinetic energy. It is the first and only in design that has the floating barrel. Plus the gas ports help a lot. Too… [cont.]

What brand sell pump action rifles in 30 carbine or similar caliber?
Q. I am looking to get a pump action rifle in 30 carbine or similar caliber what brand sell rifles like this? I cant get a semi auto rifle due to my countrys laws.

A. Most of the pump rifles in the U.S. (Remington, Browning, Savage, etc.) are chambered for deer calibers, and are more powerful than what you're looking for. Taurus makes a pump rifle in .357 magnum which is just about the power level you're looking for:

Is it very hard to change a brake caliber on a 1997 ford explorer?
Q. I have changed brakes but never a caliber...I was told that my brake pads was good but my caliber are worn.
Asked by Harley Owner - Mon Jun 22 18:24:40 2009 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments
A. worn...hummm...usually they are leaking fluid or stuck...either way they are broke not "worn" in those cases. Pair of big "C" clamp vise grips and a set of channel locks to turn the piston usually frees a stuck caliper. But...IDK about no "worn" brake calipers

How do you determin the caliber of a pistol without markings?
Q. I just recieved an old pistol that was my grandfathers but it isnt marked and wanted to know what caliber it was.
Asked by mysmiden321 - Fri Mar 10 08:26:45 2006 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. The only safe way do do it is to make a chamber cast and measure the results. There's a product called Cerrosafe, which is a low-melting metal, that you can melt in a double boiler (melts at about 180F) and pour into the chamber. As it cools it will shrink, at which point you can tap it out. Once it gets to room temperature, though, it will regain its original dimensions. Once it's completely cooled, grab a caliper or micrometer and start measuring. The problem is that just because you know the caliber, you don't necessarily know what cartridge it takes. .38 special, .357, 9x19, 9x21, 9x23 and a few other calibers all use the same diameter bullet. Better to be safe than sorry by getting accurate information. See the link below and search… [cont.]
