Re: ballistic`s of shooting a rifle when on the moon.
Inch and a half a year? That sounds about as easy to prove as when my mother told me there is no two snow flakes exactly alike. Exactly! I is such an infinitesimal amount compared to the distance between the earth and the moon that it can be completely ignored and is not relevant to the original co...

Re: ballistic`s of shooting a rifle when on the moon.
Thanks beaker for explaining in a way I could understand. It really is amazing with all of these forces around us, we just go about our lives and shoot old Winchesters.

Re: ballistic`s of shooting a rifle when on the moon.
Actually Six the moon is slowly getting farther away over time. Someday it will stop having any effect on the earth- no more tidal flow and the oceans will stop .

Inquiring minds want to know. Will the bullet keep going forever? Will it ever slow up? Will it have any impact at all if it hits something? Will the object it hit`s just go like a cue ball? Will the bullet orbit or go in a straight line forever? Will the spaceman and rifle go backwards? Have fun! ...

I came close purchasing a bolt action in 6.5 CM back when it first came out but there were problems with loose primers after just 2 reloads and at the time only Hornady was making the brass as fast as they can spit them out. The 6.5 and 6mm CM reminds me of the 300 Savage with its short neck, doesn...

Looks like a good deer cartridge when chambered in the Henry lever action. How well is does, or could do at long range or any range over maybe 300 yds. depends on the accuracy and format the cartridge is chambered in. If I was looking at a great long range, or even mid range rifle, it wouldn't be a...

If you plan to do quite a bit of shooting get a pistol caliber lever action. If you reload get a 44 mag and you can shoot light loads for plinking and full tilt loads for hunting. If you don't reload get a 357magnum and you can shoot inexpensive 38 special reloads for plinking and full power loads ...

6.5 Creedmoor in Lever Action
I see Henry is introducing a long Ranger in Hornady's 6.5 Creedmoor. Very intriguing to me given the excellent ballistics of this cartridge. Course, to take advantage of the long range ballistics the rifle would most certainly have to be scoped. Does anyone have any experience with this caliber yet ...
