A buried salt block always worked fine for me. Apples, carrots and sweet corn piled around there, until you see "sign" of them pawing-licking the dirt above the block. Note, you cannot legally...

couldn't be sure that SAS types would go there. :-) Bob sold me a copy of his book on fast draw autographed it in that manner for me. Thell dropped competition with live ammo when Jeff formed IPSC...

I had one, decades ago, but alas, several Lee's that I tried back then had mold halves that did not align properly when the mold was closed, and this was one of them. Cast out of non-lead solder,...

you typically aint dropping an animal with the shot, anyway. you are figuring on having it run for a few seconds after the hit, until it bleeds out. Repeat hit speed is irrelevant when hunting,...

not when you need a stop, RIGHT NOW.

Tell them that the fastest gun alive with a 1911 said hi. :-)

You aint read his book, obviously. Jeff was NOT comparing the .22 spitser to the 9mm. He was stating that IN GENERAL the .22 would suffice, IF it was moving at 2200 fps or faster. Yes, it's very...

Do you know Ron Bright, of Alton, ILL? Or Bob Arganbright/Jayhawker?

I started practice on ccw fast draw in 1964, so I've had 1000's of hours of it. Almost everyone else is better off with a front pants pocket rig (and being better at watching their backs)

starting with my hand in my pocket, on the gunbutt, I can average a reaction time (to the beep of the timer) draw and hit on the chest, at 5 yds, in .75 second. From under a T shirt, about all I (or...

I wanted the speed advantage (and discretion) of a gun in my front pants pocket rig, but I did not want to settle for the mere 300 ft lbs possible with a locked breech 380. So I deepened the...

my 356 TSW cases and homemade 45 gr bullets, at 2200 fps give me the same power as a 4" barreled 357, but the gun is sub 1 lb and sub 6" long. it's got the same momentum/recoil as a Makarov. 45grs...

if I see no velocity increases with increases in powder, I back down to the load that last showed an increase, and go 1/2 gr less, for safety. :-) do not work up a max/safe load in cold weather,...

if u hp and hollowbase it in the lathe, it weighs 80 grs and can be driven over 2000 fps, quite easily.

You can also use a propane torch to melt the lead core out of a jhp, replace the lead with...

anyone who "thinks", that energy does not mean as much as momentum/bullet diameter, has no experience with the higher velocity bullets. Men aint moose or cape buffalo. men collapse just from having...

momentum is simply mass x velocity. So 25 grs at 4000 fps is the same "100 factor (toss out the meaningless zeros) as a 100 gr bullet at 1000 fps, etc.

ENERGY, however, is derived from the...

the permanent wound cavity is the tissue actually torn/touched by the bullet (or frags thereof). The "bubble" created in flesh, especially by a really high velocity, high energy impact, is called...

the bullet actually touching them. this is true, of course, only to a limited distance, about an inch or so. What normally is seen is that the damge of the permanent cavity is greatly worsened by the...

I use the 450 fps velocity because it's got the same momentum, with a 250 gr bullet, as the 45 gr bullet has at 2500 fps. it IS apples to apples, regarding the momentum/theory. Just because you...

He said this in Cooper on Handguns, referencing the gas op Husquavarna 9mm. He said that the gun should rebarreled to some caliber offering the above ballistics and bullet diameter because it would....

obviously, you guys aint read my post carefully. 230 grs at 1200 fps is not sufficiently controlable in rapidfire, with a lw, compact ccw pistol, regardless of how "effective' the hit might be. In...

I compare them because they have the same MOMENTUM, the same caliber, the same shape. In other words, according to the momentum/frontal area theory, they should be identical in effect on impact with...

I never have understood this squib load stuff. If all you want is .22lr levels of power and noise, why not just use a .22 (or airsoft or pellet pistol)?

the first thing a new DA .44 mag owner does is develope a .45 ACP type load for rapidfire and normal practice. I say that the reverse is more sensible. why not just fire a very few hot loads in the...
