Just kinda bored and curious.There a lot of calibers out there,and the .223 vs. 5.56 got me interested.
I know a lot of .22's will shoot shorts,longs,and long rifle-my .357 will take .38 special-some .410's will shoot .45 l.c.

Sooooo,what else is a "multi-tasker"?No real reason other than to learn.

Whatcha got for me?

.327 Ruger. 32 H&R, 32S&W, long 32 S&W

454 Casull 45 Colt

I guess for the purposes of this thread, we should list the pre-requisite caliber first.

Like...

.357, 38special

NOT

38special, .357

 

[Heeler75]

Raster, I agree with you.

5.56 NATO - .223 Remington

44 Mag- 44 Special

458 Lott - 458 Win Mag

Thought I listed it that way,anyways I learned from this site there is also a S&W.38 that will not work in the .357/.38sp...never knew that...just learning

 

[rat]

I would also add ALWAYS check with the manufacturer to make sure what you are loading and attempting to shoot is safe for the firearm you have.

.44 mag will also shoot .44 russian as well as .44 special.

Boog, forgot about the .44 Russian. Don't see that one mentioned much anymore.

Is it the 9mm that has a "P plus" or is that the 38 special? I know some you cant fire in some guns do to chamber pressures also.

[rquote=1509612&tid=105298&author=Heeler75]Raster, I agree with you.

5.56 NATO - .223 Remington

The way I read that link....you shouldn't use 5.56 nato in a .223 rifle,due to pressure from a different"ledger"?...but can you use a .223 remmy in a 5.56?

Correct. the 5.56 generates more pressure than the .223. The 5.56 has a little larger chamber since the brass is a smidge thicker and more "float" or "free bore".

[Cook]

is that the s&w.38 thats not the same as .38 special?

[rquote=1509896&tid=105298&author=Cook]is that the s&w.38 thats not the same as .38 special?[/rquote]nope it's .38 special +P

 

[sand_manms]

38 S&W is an older round. Not to be shot in 38 spl. It is the same as the British 380/2000 used in Enfield revolvers.

I know a lady who has a 1911 in .38 Super, but I know nothing more about it than that.
