    Thanks, but back when it mattered and I cared, I could never get any respect in job interviews for all the information I included on my resume about my skills with basketball, darts, archery, guns, Frisbee, etc. They would always just read it and then give me a strange look. :-)

    Pretty much one and the same, though. My six degrees from M.I.T., Harvard, Yale, and Vanderbilt, lead me to the conclusion that a longer bullet of a specific diameter will probably be heavier. :-) I think people who shoot a great deal and handload tend to just think of bullets by weight rather than length.

Very happy with my PSA build, I upgraded very few things, it doesn't look like a "desert storm" piece of equipment but it goes BOOM and hits a dime at 100 yards that's all I wanted it to do.

    Pretty cool side note: when a bullet is fired down a rifled barrel, the barrel leaves grooves on the slug. Very cool to see this if you're able to recover a whole bullet after it's been fired.

    • @robert9595
      @robert9595 6 років тому +2

      MixBernstein yeah that's how tracing a bullet works. Every fireman(aside from shotguns) leave their own unique Mark on the projectile, the police use forensics to trace the slug to your firearm. And GSR on your hands and the firearm will confirm it's been fired recently.
