It has a cheap 14x Burris scope. I originally intended it merely as a deer rifle but since discovering the existence of the heavier ammo have been considering branching out. However I am a bit hesitant about that since my 30-30 is only a single shot H&R Handi-Rifle. I'm a decent shot but with a...
If you note the links in my original post I may use the lightest bullet measurement when zeroing the rifle [lowest common denominator] but since I have multiple weights in my inventory I will stick with the heavier 190g for when I mean business. Buffalo Bore Heavy 30-30 That would still reliably...
Because I want to be able to shoot various types of ammo and still be reasonably sure of hitting my target. For example if I am just shooting for fun at paper targets I'd want to use cheaper 150g or 160g bullets. If I am out hunting I'd want the heavier 170g or 190g bullets for their shear...
How I zero the sights is based upon a theory of no more than 6 inches above bullseye at the height of the bullets arc. I have posted this question on other forums and since first posting it was pointed out to me that barrel twist plays into the equation. Mine is a 1 in 10 twist and while that...
I have been attempting to calculate optimal zero for my H&R 30-30.
190g
170g
160g
150g
These links are the optimal zeros for my rifle based on each of the four grain weights available to fire thru the rifle. I don't want to have to re-zero my rifle every time I switch between ammo types so I...
Lol. No. I am 41 years old. I have a passing interest in forging. I am contemplating what would be the optimal degree of arc to create a perfect scimitar. The closest I can find online is this one...
Damn. Now granted I suck at math, which really sucks since it is the language of reality itself, still I had hope. Since all circles are the same a person could draw a line at a 90 degree angle from the mid-point of line AB to the Crest of the arc. I had hope the there was a formula that one...
If there is a circle, 360 degrees, and 2 random points A & B are chosen on the circle. A straight line is drawn between those two points. You are not shown the whole circle. All you can see is A, B the straight line and an arc representing an unknown number of degrees. You know the length of the...
The pistol shrimp creates a cavitation bubble by opening it's claw. For the barest fraction of a second temperatures within the bubble exceed those of the surface of the sun. That is an energy event comparable to a nuclear reaction.
Question one, Can this be mechanically duplicated and on a...
Mmm.. I see. What if the hull is ridged like a piece of corrugated metal? The magnets could be placed in the ridges. Then instead of passing thru one magnet between the poles it could pass between the opposing poles of two different magnets. Of course in total the hull would have many such...
Now the designs I've seen involve water flowing through a tube but is a tube really necessary? Can the design simply be turned inside out so that rather than pushing water through a tube a regular ships hull could just pull the vessel through the water?
I was not. Very interesting. One of the difficulties of getting objects into space is cost. Obviously this method would not work for anything sensitive like mechanical or electronics but for bulk mass like steel I beams for building space stations or to delivering the tungsten rods needed to arm...
I was just wondering. If one used a shielded tungsten projectile and some small diameter nuclear devices could someone shoot a projectile into space by using a borehole drilled into the Earth like a cannon barrel?
