That's not exactly true, but they do say that if all your hits are in the A zone, you're shooting too slow. I got good at it, then got bored. Now I'd like to shoot IHMSA but I'd have to drive a...

I looked, but I don't see a S&W j-frame .327 being produced currently. If they did make one, I would avoid it. My Single-Seven is small enough. I haven't fired a factory round in it. .327 rounds...
Using .327 brass it's an interesting idea , which I envision as a mini .357 Herrett profile. I'm thinking 8-10" Contender barrel though. The advantage it has over some other cartridges mentioned is...
I can't wait to get some of these. I've got a rifled barrel, but I'll give them a try in a smoothbore as well.
Not sure what your point is. I have about 20 barrels and several frames, but I'm always interested in more information.
Thanks. I sent you a PM.
I've got a few pages of the booklet, but I'd like to find the whole thing. Anybody have one in their archives?

That's a good thing. The 360 conversation reminded me that I need to shoot my Herrett more.

Thanks for posting that. I emailed Hodgdon the same day I revived the 450/400 thread, and Luke replied yesterday saying that there is no pressure tested data, just software generated data originally...

I just got a 450/400 and found this thread while looking for data. Just wondering if anyone has more recent experience or data.
Very thorough testing. Thanks for posting all your data.
When all else fails, look up the data. My Lyman #46 (oldest I have) and #50 show max loads of 7.5gr of Unique for 200gr SWC, and 7.3gr for a 225gr. Old coot or not, it doesn't appear that he was...

Well, LAGS, you've learned that it's unethical to shoot birds on the ground, and that it's unethical to shoot birds in the air. :???:
With those lessons done, you need to hit the pattern board. ...
Great shotgun info, as always. I did a quick search and I think I found Mr. Barnes.

Hopefully you can tighten that group some. :wink: Seriously, nice shooting!

They find ordnance here all the time. There was a naval training base on the barrier island, and at the end of the war, they dumped tons of munitions in the ocean.

Maybe for them it was big, but for us, house fires were house fires.
Between what's missing and the poor information quoted, we know next to nothing except that the house burned and the FD...

I know old people who don't have any. My dad is pushing 80, and he hasn't read a book since high school.
Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against paper pages, and I'll buy a real book if...

I used to say the same thing. Like gbrown I have a Kindle, and I've grown to like it. I can carry books, newspapers, and magazines in one small package. Once you download them, you don't need WiFi...
They no longer make those. I've got maybe 1-2 boxes of each, and I wish I had bought more when they were available.
As far as James goes, when you contacted him he was incredibly helpful. I...
I'm loading red AA with Universal and the same wad/shot. You don't say if you're layering the shot or not. Mine are 3x3 layers, and each layer is just tight in the wad. My MEC will sometimes kind...

It's a bad analogy because what quarantine and other measures do is reduce, not eliminate, illness and death. The same as seatbelts reduce death in cars.
I would suggest reading science and not...

Nice try, but it's a bad analogy. We've done a lot to reduce death and injury in car wrecks: seat belts, air bags, crush zones. To which you will no doubt say that the number of deaths in wrecks...

It's probably not worth posting because most of those who posted want to believe what they want to believe. Consider though, that it's not just about whether you live or die. You could be like this...
Of the hulls I have, Fiocchi has 2 stars and 2 12s (in the OP pic), Cheddite has 4 stars and 4 12s.
