LOL.

I did some experiments with using a 45 ACP to sling 300 grain bullets. Didn't work out too well in a pistol but in my wife's 45 ACP bolt gun they worked great. T one point I was going to get the throat extended so I could shoot somre really heavy bullets but deceided it is fine the way it is. The 250 grain bullets worked just fine in both the rifle and a 1911 I had at the time.

A friend of mine has been working on a .50 caliber wildcat capable of being fired from a standard AR. He was using WSSM shortened and then .510" BMG bullets. He said they kicked miserably but performed very well. It can shoot anything from a 150 grain bullet up to a 750 grain bullet and launches those bullets at 3300fps-1325fps. I was looking for a Savage to build one at one point then realized I am too much of a puss to shoot it with my back the way it is. The energy is supposedly over 4300 ft lbs. And all of this is out of a standard AR.

I have always been more of a fan of heavy and slower over light and fast. Even though velocity increases energy by a factor of four over weight alone.

Damage is damage. I am also a big fan of big and slow. I am getting too old for the punishment. That is why I am thinking of going to an AR.

[Mike.357]

Big and slow, i resemble that remark.

Nice boolits Mike G

I was pushing 300 grain bullets between 1800 and 1900 fps on Sunday. That's a lot of smack. The 1900 loads got serious recoil. It was kicking harder than the 12ga buckshot we were shooting.

[mikegideon]

If we get to hook up on Friday, I'll load some good 'uns for you.

[R_Bert]

flying ashtray, meet flying coffee table.

[dlm37015]

let me see a loaded round if you dont mind.i load those in a 458 lott at about 3200 fps makes a great deer round did you see the one that charged the bike rider.i looking for one of those

[MacGyver]

David, I loaded up some of these that I got from you at the last show. They perform well in the SOCOMs. Mike, you're using different load data, but in my 10.5 they were great.

I got mine from David too. Haven't loaded any yet. Probably tomorrow. The charge ladder will be 37gr to 39gr of RL-7

BTW... I'll also be loading Lehigh 300gr brass bullets. I did TTSX, Rem 300gr, and Hornady 300gr on Sunday.

Seems appropriate that they're in a baggie.

[mikegideon]

Bag-o-truth . David had a gazillion of them in a big bin. No fancy red box, but a real good price.

Yep. He's my first and usually only call for reloading supplies.

I'll be getting some more if my old shoulder holds up. I have enough stuff to load 400 or so.

[Guest 6.8 AR]

That ammo is double duty. If the rifle fails, just throw the bullets. Bound to hurt:D

[dlm37015]

also offer 5 cents return on zip lock .
