    Dominant rifle models in Palma vs ISSF 300m?

    Hi. I've done some internet surfing on rifle matches with iron sights only and came across those two competition events. The rules for those two shooting events seem pretty similar, but I see that preferred rifle models are not always same (in ISSF 300m, European models from Bleiker, etc. are...

    .357 Rem Maximum vs .44 Mag for grizzly/polar bear defense?

    Which one is better? I lean towards the .357 Max because of versatility. To be more specific, you can do cheap plinking (.38 special), self defense (.357 mag) and grizzly defense (.357 Max) in one gun. Of course the .357 Max is quite expensive and rare, but defending oneself from a grizzly is...

    Why does a .350 legend cartridge not properly fit in standard AR-15 mags?

    I've asked this question to people at Winchester via mail and I haven't heard from them yet. Basically, .350 Legend is a straightened version of .223 Rem/5.56 Nato. So when I firstly saw the cartridge being introduced, I thought it would stack pretty well into already mass-produced AR-15 mags...

    .350 Legend AR-15 for bear defense possible?

    Hi. I have a huge interest in recently intruduced .350 Legend cartridge from Winchester. I plan to build an AR-15 hunting rifle chambered in that round, and I would like to know if the rifle is capable of bear defense in case of emergency.

    Why is semi-auto so dominant in ISSF 25m centerfire shooting event?

    Title says it all. According to ISSF rules, revolvers are allowed, but almost every shooter uses semi autos like pardini in .32 cal. Has anybody seen competitors with revolvers instead of semi-autos in ISSF 25m centerfire event?
