Safe Use of Smokeless Powder for Small Arms
Safe Use of Smokeless Powder for Small Arms Propellant is designed to create gas when burned. The speed by which it creates gas is what we call, “Burn Rate”. You will hear about “faster powders” or “slower powders”. These descriptions refer ONLY to the rate at which relative propellants create gas. The burn rate of a propellant is controlled by surface area of the individual grains, density, particle size, energetic content, and burn rate modifiers (deterrents). It is impossible to tell the burn rate of a propellant by its physical traits alone. Burn rates of a propellant must be matched to the chamber and bore dimensions of a firearm, and the weight and resistance of a projectile. Many additional variables contribute to the correct balance of propellant burn rate and firearm requirements. Experts test these variables, using pressure-test barrels, and fired remotely. It is unwise and potentially dangerous for individuals to develop loads outside of established recipes. We call this, “Tickling the dragons belly”, and strongly advise against the practice. The ballistic output of your loaded rounds WILL change from many variables. Among them: Case length, case volume, primer type and brand, primer seating depth, temperature, altitude, atmospheric pressure, projectile weight, projectile seating depth, projectile form, projectile material, internal case capacity, propellant burn rate, charge weight, moisture contamination, residual solvent, bore conditions, case hardness, mouth crimp, bullet-pull, load length, powder lot, primer lot, projectile lot, firing pin or hammer force, and firearm. Propellants that look very similar, when loaded in a cartridge, can lead to disastrous results. Therefore, ensure your own safety by diligently following safe reloading practices. -

ICOHTEC, TICCIH & Worklab Joint Conference in Tampere, Finland
ABSTRACTS ICOHTEC, TICCIH & Worklab joint conference in Tampere, Finland 10th–15th of August 2010 WEDNESDAY TRANSFORMATION OF INDUSTRIAL ENVIRONMENTS: Session W1A PROCESSES, TOOLS, RE-THINKING I Room A1 8:30–10:00 Chair: Helmuth ALBRECHT, Institute for the History of Science and Technology, Technical University Freiberg, Germany Industrial Cultural Landscape Montane Region Ore Mountain on the Way to UNESCO – Public Participation and Community Involvement Heidi PINKEPANK INIK GmbH, Germany Based on the hypothesis that heritage protection (in particluar World Heritage) creating economical and development barriers is due to restricted communica- tion with and participation of the local communities, this paper discusses the im- portance of Public Acceptance, Participation and Community Involvement using the example of the Industrial Cultural Landscape Montane Region Ore Mountain (Erzgebirge/ Krusnohori). The Montane Region is of particular interest since it is a Cultural Landscape, a serial and transnational property and therefore features a variety of aspects of participation and community involvement including lan- guage and mentality barriers. The central challenge of dealing with such a living cultural landscape, however, lies in responding to development dynamics to allow socio-economic changes and growth on one hand, while simultaneously respect- ing the traditional cultural landscape and its surroundings. In order to achieve this, goals have to be defined and strategies for implementation developed. In the context of this Paper, important insights regarding the variety of stake- holders were gained through face-to-face interviews of representatives of cer- tain stakeholder groups (e.g. local tourism, local businesses, local people, church representatives, museums, culture representatives) in the Ore Mountain (Ger- many and Czech Republic). -
Intro to Reloading
Intro to Reloading This introductory manual will cover the basics of handloading ammunition. It will include information regarding necessary equipment, required materials, and the reloading process. This is not intended to be a comprehensive guide. Reloading is an in-depth, complex subject. This guide is a starting point for absolute beginners. Further information should be sought out for your specific calibers you are reloading, your specific brand and models of equipment, and your specific reloading components and materials. Follow all instructions that come with your equipment and materials. When someone who has never reloaded their own ammo looks into it, the needed equipment list is daunting and expensive. It is the intention of this guide to make reloading seem easy and accessible. Anyone, even children, can reload ammunition if shown the steps. My 8 year old is more than eager to help me de-prime, drop powder, or resize shells. Hopefully the knowledge presented here will increase your confidence when it comes to starting your reloading journey. [2] Socialistra.org Why Reload? Self Sufficiency: A decade ago, the generally accepted wisdom was “You will always be able to find .22lr. You will always be able to find .223. You will always be able to find .30-06. You will always be able to find XYZ.” After Sandy Hook in 2012, that all changed. For YEARS afterward, certain kinds of ammo were simply non-existent on store shelves. In this Time of Trump, it may not seem to make sense to spend $.10-$.25 more on each round you would make vs just buying the factory ammo. -

During this period, the armaments industry underwent a radical transformation, moving from being based on public-owned arsenals and yards to being based on private firms – the system of military procurement prevalent today. -

LONDON E. & F. N. SPON, 125, STRAND. NEW YORK SPON & CHAMBERLAIN, 12, CORTLANDT STREET. 1892. MODERN GUNS AND SMOKELESS POWDER. PART I. INTRODUCTION. Gunpowder, the oldest of all explosives, has been the subject of many scientific investigations, sup- ported by innumerable experiments ; but Nature guards her secrets well ; and to this day it cannot be said that the cycle of chemical changes brought about by the combustion of gunpowder is thoroughly understood. Its original components vary, but are generally about 75 parts potassium nitrate, 15 parts carbon, and 10 parts sulphur, with other ingredients some- times added. These materials, when simply mixed together, burn with considerable vigour, but cannot rank as an explosive until they have been thoroughly incorporated, so that the different molecules are brought into such close proximity that each finds a neighbour ready and willing to combine on the smallest encouragement. Heat furnishes the necessary stimulus, by pro- 2 MODERN GUNS AND SMOKELESS POWDER. moting chemical activity ; and, when combined with concussion, the molecules are driven closer to- gether, and this intimate association accelerates their combination. The effect of mere concussion is shown to greater advantage when any of the more dangerous ex- plosives, such as iodide of nitrogen, are subjected to experiment. -
