So thinking of random things to converse about.. this pops into my head..
What exactly denotes a "High Powered" cartridge?
What caliber starts the high power in pistols?
What caliber starts high power in rifle cartridges?
What makes it so?
Food for thought...
Let the arguments start!

Obviously I cannot remember the newer cartridges very well, huh. I guess that's what happens when you get stuck pre-1920....lol.

I thought of the 38's but obviously it is a good thing I didn't list them!!! Given my previous track record I probably would have missed a couple.

I don't think anything I have is 'high powered'..... as far as I know they are all gunpowder powered.... :confused:
