Have you ever wondered what happens when someone shoots the wrong caliber bullet? CI tells you all about it here at this link.
…and precision rifles too!

The sad thing was, the dummy has a nice KIMBER 1911. What a waste of a good pistol.
CI – now you have me feeling sorry for the gun! He was using a Kimber 1911? There are no words…
Yes, I have wondered. Good post!
I have a S&W .357 and a S&W 38 so I use the same ammo.
Maybe I’ll post a chart on which rounds can be used in other guns. A 357 is just a long 38 special. However, the old “38 S&W” has a short wider case that won’t fit in the newer guns. Just take my basic pistol class, we cover that stuff.
If you did – I would link it, because some of my readers are just learning, and compared to someone like you — I am just learning too. So, a chart like that would be great to start getting somethings straight!
I’m sorry, I’ forget some folks are new to firearms. When I was in the 2nd grade and the first time we went to the school libary, the first book I checked out was about guns. In those days I was OK. Now, I suspect schools don’t even have books about guns.
The first rule of ammo is: “There are no rules about naming ammo.” If you wanted to envent a new round, you can call it whatever you want. Years ago I was tasked with finding the “best” ammo for our police dept. I spent 2 weeks doing research…then found it had already been done by the FBI.
I think I’ll start a new blog just about guns…. what should I call it?
