Wow great work Sam.

I started in late January and am at the gym 3 days a week on heavy weights.  I use My Fitness Pal and track everything, even measuring booze.  As long as I get 115 grams of protein I can eat pretty much whatever if I hit my calorie goal.

Im not trying to cut too many calories as I’m building muscle at the moment but down 18, lost 3 inches in the waist and really building muscle.  Put up 310 on the bench press this week for the first time in years.  Still a long way from my personal best of 380 but that was when I was 42 and I’m now 57.

I’m at 238 and really need to be at 215.  Pre covid I was 5 days in the gym and 205 but not hitting muscle as hard.  When I get the muscle mass I’m looking for I’ll switch gears to leaning up a bit to land on 215.

Sorry for being MIA for a while Chief.  I’ll be at the ranch and look up the recipe and post it with my usual disclaimer.

As for the 41mag, I have a ruger Redhawk single action.  I was able to replicate the exact ballistics of that weapon in my G20 10mm by adding a more supported KKM barrel and Wolff 20lb recoil spring.  It slings 200gn Hornady XTPs at 1350.  Can you imagine that?  14 rounds of that in a semi auto?  It’s a beast.  And even with the heavy recoil spring it still throws brass 15 feet!

The original round was 2800fps and the subsequent rounds were closer to 2300 when fired from the PS90 FN bullpup.

It was the 2800fps round was the real threat as it was able to penetrate Kevlar.

I don’t think they make the full power rounds any longer and that would be the only reason to have one.

The original SS190 rounds were discontinued and outlawed in 2004.  Some are available on the secondary market at  $10 a round…

Don, i should probably be fired, but the first thing I did when I got my airbags for the dually was lose all the push connect fittings for proper brass ferrule compression fittings and teflon.  I don’t care what DOT says, I won’t run them.  Never had a leak.

You’re moving the axle away from the frame in both instances. On a 4 link you normally buy adjustable lower control arms. Lengthening them will bring your caster back positive if the uppers do not change length.

On a radius arm setup you normally lower the rear mount down to bring caster back positive. There are also after market arm setups which have adjustment with the latter being the same idea as a 4 link.

Thought the radius arm pivots and the 4 link keeps it more or less parallel? Maybe the factory arms are way diff lengths, that would account for some pivot.

Not trying to talk D out of anything, just wondering if I'm thinking right.
