Slug / Pellets 8. Victim’s Clothing B. The I-MCFSA Firearms Section can conduct the following analysis: 1. Examination of firearms for function and safety, including test firing in order to obtain test bullets, cartridge cases and shot shells. 2. Comparison of evidence bullets, fired cartridge cases and shot shells to determine if they were or were not fired by the same firearm or the submitted firearm. 3. Examination of fired bullets to potentially determine caliber and possible make and type of firearm involved. 4.

Remington MAX. CASE LENGTH: . 1.938" PRIMER: . Federal 210 CASE TRIM LENGTH: . 1.928" Winchester introduced the 219 Zipper in 1937, seven years after the Hornet and two years after the powerful 220 Swift. Chambered in the fi rm’s Model 64 lever action varmint version of the famous Model 94, it never delivered the tack-driving accuracy customers demanded and consequently never became widely popular. Winchester discontinued manufacturing the Model 64 after WW II and the 219 Zipper became an orphan in 1961 when Marlin stopped chambering its Model 336 for the cartridge. The Zipper is now completely a handloading proposition since both Remington and Winchester have discontinued producing ammunition. A necked down 25-35 WCF (which can also be formed from 30-30 brass), the 219 Zipper was and is a respectable performer. Top velocities possible for the cartridge are only 100 fps lower than those which can be developed in the 224 Weatherby Varmintmaster. The Hornady 53 grain V-MAX™ or the 55 grain Spire Point are fi ne choices for the 219 Zipper and the cartridge is large enough to propel the wind-bucking 60 grain SP or HP up to an impressive 3300 fps. H 4895 is a very good powder throughout the entire range of available bullet weights and especially with the heavier selections. Hornady 22 caliber V-MAX™ bullets are extra potent in the Zipper.

  • A Sharp Little Affair: the Archeology of Big Hole Battlefield
    A Sharp Little Affair: The Archeology of the Big Hole Battlefield By Douglas D. Scott With Special Sections by Melissa A. Connor Dick Harmon Lester Ross REPRINTS IN ANTHROPOLOGY VOLUME 45 1994 Published by J & L Reprint Company 410 Wedgewood Drive Lincoln, Nebraska 68510 Revised for PDF publication June 2009 Acknowledgments First and foremost we wish to acknowledge and thank Hank Williams, Jr. for his interest and financial support. The National Park Service seldom has the luxury of conducting an archeological research project that is not tied to some development project or some overriding management action. Mr. William's support allowed us to pursue this investigation for the benefit of the park without being tied to a specific management requirement. His support did allow us to accomplish several management goals that otherwise would have waited their turn in the priority system. This project has had more than its fair share of those who have given their time, resources, and knowledge without thought of compensation. Specifically Irwin and Riva Lee are to be commended for their willingness to ramrod the metal detecting crew. They volunteered for the duration for which we are truly grateful. Aubrey Haines visited us during the field investigations and generously shared his vast knowledge of the Big Hole battle history with us. His willingness to loan material and respond to our questions is truly appreciated. Former Unit Manager Jock Whitworth and his entire staff provided much support and aid during the investigations. Jock and his staff allowed us to invade the park and their good-natured acceptance of our disruption to the daily schedule is acknowledged with gratitude.

The objective of the organization was to establish a safe location for general shooting, hunter safety and law enforcement training. A depleted gravel pit, known as the Wilkinson Gravel Pit located 5 miles South West of Cass Lake was chosen. In the fall of 2000 Cass County Environmental Service Dept. approved reclassification of the pit for use as a range and a lease agreement was entered into between Cass County and NMRA. The range was named Gordy Buchanan Memorial Range after a long time area conservation officer who conducted many hunter safely classes in that pit. With a matching grant from LCMR and the help of the Leech Lake Tribal Construction Crew, the initial dirt work of leveling the bottom of the pit and establishing the range was undertaken. Once the leveling and basic dirt work was done, the installation of some 100 yard target backers and bench rests made the pit start looking like a shooting range. Then came a trap shooting area with an old used manual trap thrower. That has now progressed to a more modern automatic PAT trap with an active summer trap league.

  • Federal Ammunition for Civil War Breechloading Carbines and Rifles
    Federal Ammunition for Civil War Breechloading Carbines and Rifles Dean S. Thomas According to the "Statement of ordnance and ordnance stores purchased by the Ordnance Department from January 1, 1861, to June 30, 1866," the United States Army procured more than 427,000 assorted breechloading carbines and rifles during this period.' Additional quantities were purchased from the manufacturers by various Northern states, volunteer regiments, and individual soldiers. In all, more than twenty different brands found their way onto regimental ordnance returns, and each, with rare exception, required their own peculiar form of ammunition. Captain James G. Benton of the Ordnance Department described these weapons in his book, Ordnance and Gunney: The term "breech-loading" applies to those arms in which the charge is inserted into the bore through an opening in the pered by gas leakage at the breech joint-or lack of obtura- breech; and, as far as loading is concerned, the ramrod is tion.

    Report No. 29 to the Storting (2007-2008) Export of defence materiel from Norway in 2007, export control and international non-proliferation cooperation Recommendation from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of 6 June 2008, approved in the Council of State on the same date. (Stoltenberg II Government) 1 Introduction and summary In this white paper, the Government provides information on the Norwegian export control system for weapons, ammunition and other military materiel1 and dual-use goods2. The white paper lists actual exports in 2007 of defence materiel on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ List I3, and of appurtenant technology. List I contains both Category A materiel, i.e. weapons and ammunition and other materiel that could affect the military balance of power beyond the immediate vicinity, and Category B materiel, i.e. other equipment specially developed or modified for military use. The total value of exports in 2007 was approximately NOK 3.6 billion. Sales of goods accounted for about NOK 3.2 billion of this, services for about NOK 308 million and repair work for owners in other countries for about NOK 130 million. Category A materiel accounted for just over NOK 2 billion and Category B materiel for about NOK 1.2 billion. By way of comparison, the total value of exports in 2006 was about NOK 3.5 billion. In 2007, 92% by value of exports of Category A materiel and 84% by value of exports of Category B materiel went to NATO countries and to Sweden and Finland. The total value of exports of Category B materiel dropped markedly, by almost 22% from 2006, while exports of Category A materiel rose in value by about 45%.
