Re: 45 ACP - share your loads
Since the "ritis" got to my wrist I've been using 5.0gr W231 with my 200gr SWC, seems to help with the pain and a consistant grouping.
YMMV

Re: Aw, crap!!
Oddly enough I did the same thing and after hours of looking I put my shop apron back on to work on something else and found the part in the pocket.
Always the last place you look, huh.

Re: T'WAS NOT OUR FINEST HOUR.....
Not to be contentious, but I arrived in theater on Christmas day of 73 and left New Year's day 75. Since I was drawing combat pay SAM thought I was being shot at, which I was. There seems to be a...

Re: 22 LR PENITRATION?
Don't know exact penetration; but a local killed two men with three shots from a 10/22 using WM bulk ammo.

Re: Needing info on .380 gun sizes;
With all respect, get a 9mm, it's bigger and 380 is below my personal minimum for a carry piece. There is lots of good 9mm ammo out there, not so with 380.
Almost 3cents worth
