I thought the 357 vs 38 was two names for the same thing - (one being the diameter of the bullet, the other being the ID of the lands in the barrel).
Good 'ol US/English difference in the way things are done - much like anything to do with language (Aluminium vs Aluminum), screw threws (how many per inch vs actual pitch in mm)... etc.
Two views of the same thing. If forced to guess I'd say 38 was the "old" measurement from smooth bore days, and 357 is the modern equivalent ... just the old round once the spin doctors got hold of it?
357 being 357 thousanths of an inch of course...

Very close.Originally Posted by ManDownUnder
In the days of old most bullets were of the type known as "heel loaded" and they were the actual diameter of the case and sometimes a little larger. The only round left I know of that is still heelk loaded is the oldest cartridge round (the first to be made and still being made), the venerable .22
A .38 actualy had a diameter of .379 approx.
Come modern times and we started loading the bullets inside the cases. Thier diameter was less than the diameter of the case so the had to reduce the diameter of the barrel.
Rather than change the name of the bullet they still refered to it by the old dimensions.
One of the stranger naming conventions was the 38-40 caliber in the colt revolvers and in Winchester rifles. The actual diameter of the bullet was .40 but rather than call it the 40-40 which may have become confused withn the 44-40 they decided to call it the 38-40.
Now for another bit of trivia.
There are two basic types of priming for centre fire cartridges.
The Boxer style and the Berdan style
The Berdan was designed by an American and used mainly in Europe and the Boxer style was developed in the UK and was adopted by all ammunition manufacturers in the US. Talk about arse about face.

At that range the .308 would probably be quite sufficient, but any Self-Loading Rifle would be more useful than a Single Lens Reflex

Wherever I may roam
Found these the other day, reloading calculators to determine how much it costs per round to load:
Shotgun shells -

Centerfire cartridges -

Paved roads are just another example of wasted tax payer dollars.

Well, it appears as if I am a terrorist.
Has anyone else had their BetradeMe details passed onto the police and thenceforth onto the terrorist accused?
I really appreciate my name, address, contact details supplied as a tasty burglary list to the criminal fraternity.
Apparently there are another 2999 of us on the list, so I am hoping my burglary will be some time in the distant future.
Fuck.

How does one find out if they're on the list?

You will have been emailed.
The silly thing is that I have no idea who I traded with that might be a terrorist/Te Queda member.
All a bit perplexing.

I gather that you mean within the last couple of days.
Obviously the blokes I sold a .303 and a BSA .22 target rifle to didn't use them as part of a "tayr'ist plaht"...

Others say "naaaaa - just clean it properly after each day's shooting...

5 rounds and then a damn good clean.
Another 5 rounds and another clean,
Keep doing this for 20 (some say 50) rounds.
Normal "after the days shooting has finished" cleaning from then on.
Bench-rest shooters will be even more pedantic...
