The above-mentioned Phil Shoemaker has been involved with multiple Bear Encounters , and is one of the few people with personal experience with multiple calibers and shot placements. His bottom line - The only shot to reliable drop attacking Big *** Bear is brain shot . ( Not head...

Me neither . Two hand , braced forearms .

I largely agree with you . I'm just reporting the predominate trends .

Just from the odds and numbers you undoubtly did . I suspect your point was never Because of weed use . With significant double digit percent of the population at least occasional indulging in weed , you can't interact with the public , and not encounter them . That's not saying that they...

Latest numbers are that 13% of the adult population carry at least some of the time . A large percentage of them are not otherwise gun enthusists , but for pragmatic self protection . Hence lots of them have a Carry Gun as their only handgun , if not only firearm . Compact 9mm are popular...

Bees top the list . Semi feral pack dogs , and feral hogs both top Bears & Sharks . ( Not discounting being sorta suitably armed on Yogi's turf . And once upon a 1990's , a good friend had a gunfight with a pack of pack dogs . )

Sidestep into philosophical discussion . How do * You * percieve the nature , purpose , and expectations of this pistol ? Serious question . In my outlook of things , l have broad categories . All around , general purpose , do pretty much everything that would be expected of typical full...

Welp , without looking over your shoulder at your bench , l'm now stumped . Still scratching my head , as my experence with Berry's in .41 and .45 Colt , all easily met accuracy expectations . (Don't recall exact groups . But that's signifigant in that if they were worse than 1.5 in or better...

That's why l spent $276 for an ( ugly) G22 Gen 4 . ( And $350 for G27 Gen 3 with " medium character " . )

I'll pay attention to the rifle display next Sunday, while hanging at my Friend's LGS .

Is that a Nickle M38 / 49 , or a polished M638 ?

The Model Numbers ( stamped there in frame window ) weren't a thing , until later in the 1950 's . What 457 describes is almost certainly a Victory Model . ( U.S. Navy had a manure ton of them aquired WWll era , any other K Frame with U.S. Navy markings would be an interesting oddity ...

It ( almost certainly ) would be a Victory Model . S&W Collectors break down into sub variants , but the 10 yd view is essentially a 4 inch , square butt K Frame .38 Millitary & Police . ( Became M10 when number system intoduced in late 1950's .) ( Not withstanding collectable sub...

So , what's your expander diameter ? Aka neck I.D. after sizing and expanding? Since you're getter less worse results with roll crimp over " shoulder " , that's pointing to more initial neck tension producing more consistent ignition. Crimp per se is just one part of the equation. The...

6mm Lee

Sure , you can make that argument , but presumably Tayln was sticking to U.S. Mil issued ctgs . In that case , you would be debating the relative merits of .45-70 vs .50-70 .

Before any discussion , it must be a given to know there is a difference between Lethal , and non / less lethal . The approate circumstances for each are different , and neither is a substitute for the other .

Looking more closely : The written descriptions say 10mm 180gr , but the pictured actual Box says .40 170gr . ( Not that l'm dissing a .40 range load of 170 @ 1020 . But there is a disconnect on the website .)

Jsimon78 was there , and presumably he knew what distance he was shooting . Posted target certainly credible for 10yd rapid mag dump as reported .

Did the link not work properly for me ? When l clicked , it was .40cal 170gr @ advertised 1020fps ?
