I don't measure all my rifle brass. I use my trimmer to "measure" the cartridges. By that I mean I set the trimmer to the trim length (2.212 in this case) Then I put each brass in the trimmer and trim to that.

The approximate distance you intend to shoot it at.

In the old west if they ever carried two guns they were not to be shot by both hands at the same time like in the movies. The 2nd gun was a backup. When one gun was out of ammo they would use the dominant hand to draw the 2nd gun from a cross draw holster.

Respectfully ... No no no, that's not at all what was said. This is what was said. This is a whole other issue, using the word bullet when he meant cartridge. Yes people should know the difference between a bullet and a cartridge but this is not nearly as bad as being vague about what powder...

"or don't handle firearms" ??? I see absolutely nothing wrong with saying "you can shoot a 38cal bullet in a 357 gun" especially for your very first post. We all know what he's talking about. I know you or someone else will jump in saying "words matter". Yes, but not when we all know...

There's no problem shooting both out of the same gun. You can even load and shoot 3 of each if you really want. You will end up with a crud ring in front of the 38 special brass, up to the point where the 357 brass ends. Just make sure to clean the cylinder. If you don't do a good job of...

Yes, she's falling with the plane. That's the same as being in outer space, far from any planet.

When this plane is in free fall your body definitely knew it free falling and was experiencing zero G. That much we both agree on. But what I'm saying is when the plane is in free fall it is exactly the same as if the plane was far out in space, far from Earth, any other planet, star or any...

Oh yes, correct. Gravity is the reason for your acceleration. And when jumping off a building that acceleration (movement) will be all the more obvious. When in free fall you don't notice gravity. My example isn't good because visual evidence is obvious. They train astronauts for zero gravity...

Einstein says gravity and inertia are one and the same. Let's say we are sitting in my Dodge Challenger SRT Demond 170 (hypothetical). I hit the gas and take off. You say the inertia is why we're plastered against the back of our seats. Then we see a "bridge out ahead" sign and I slam on the...

Let's say we're in a spaceship trying to go the speed of light. We calculate that we are going just 10,000 mph slower than the speed of light. We have an extremely high speed gun (Hypothetically faster than current guns) that shoots a particle toward the front of the spaceship. That particle...

True. In a spaceship trying to go the speed of light, the dimensions of space and time are warped or altered and mass also increases. For example the length of the spaceship would decrease and time would slow down. So if a spaceship were ever able to reach the speed of light it's size would...

No in an infinite vacuum, objects would continually accelerate. Here on Earth everything accelerates at 32 feet per second squared. That means every second a falling object falls 32 feet per second faster than the second before. (After one second objects fall at 32 feet/sec. After 2 seconds...

None of those pictures are mine. They're from a google search. I'd think both of those revolvers could be savaged with a new barrel.
