10" barreled 223=60 grs, 2600 fps.
The load is 26.5-27.0 grs of AA2520 powder (depending upon the barrel). no, such loads are not dangerous in 5.56 chambers, either. That 60 gr softpoint bullet still has 2000 fps left at 200 yds, and...

Re: What Are Your Favorite .22-Handguns ?
Man, I see brand New Buckmarks for less than $250! Sheesh. this was some special model, or came with an optical sight, 10 spare mags, or something? $175 is more like right for a used one.

Re: Revolver or Auto
wrong, staying in the black at 25 yds just teaches you to be SLOW. What is needed is 6-7 hits per second, in the chest at 5 yds or less.

No they won't necessarily stop the fight, unless they hit the brain. They run about 90-95% effedtive, but there's still the 1 in 10 or 1 in 20 failure. even the 12 ga fails 1 or 2 times in 100, with...

The reality of self defense (if justifiable, by a civilian) is that it will be at 10 ft and less, and lots of missing of the chest will occur, regardless of the gun or load used. So it's best to have...

Re: Interesting .380 ballistics
Depending upon the load, a 380 can beat the .45 all to hell. For instance, .45 ball, from a short barrel, wastes about 1/3rd of its 270 ft lbs on overpenetration of the man. From a locked breech...
