    I'm a big fan of S&W Centennials and thought I had the best of them with a 940-1 in 9mm with moon clips. For some reason, It just doesn't do it for me. The one I often carry is the 640-4 Pro Series...

    Thanks for that data. That 10.4 Unique load looks like a great walk around load. I sure wish there were jackrabbits in GA. I'll bet they'd eat all the kudzu they could reach.

    I have the Mech-Tech in .45 ACP and .460 Rowland both of which use standard 1911 mags. I picked up some 10-rounders that work dependably. The .460 with a 250-grain RNFP boolit is close enough to a...

    I appreciate your liking the old calibers, but in the interim, I'd just like to see some brass available in .38-55 and .375 Win that was only available on indefinite backorder. GF

    I'm as much of a .45-70 fan as anybody as evidenced by how many I own, but I think that the published .45 Colt Ruger and Contender loads with Win 296/H110 with a 300-grain HP will give you 1,300 fps...
