Don here is the recipe. If you or anyone reading this uses it and blows themselves up, it’s not my proble Start low and work up looking for signs of over pressure.
66 degree day with 84% humidity. 240 gn hornady XTP Vihtavuori N110 powder- 21gn Virgin Starline brass Magtech magnum pistol primer
Highest velocity- 1477fps Lowest 1399 Mean 1427 Average of 6 rounds

10mm is just a longer 40 cal. Same dies.
Actually the 10mm came first, then the limp wristed FBI folks couldn’t deal with the recoil so they started down loading it and realized they didnt need all the cartridge length….and the 40S&W was born…

Divide your new tire height by the old tire height. That will give you the percentage you are off.

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.

Do not get the GTR Ultra bulbs. They are stupid bright. However I have them in both the low and high beam on the bus with the all-on mod.
Check out morimoto 3.0. Really good. Just not as bright as the GTR Ultra

Shawn, entirely possible. I’m just making hyperbolic statements as more and more theft rings go pro and use reselling sites.
About to land in HRL. Up close and personal with the border crisis. Thank God it’s just a day trip. Hate not being armed while I’m here. Not even a blade since I didn’t check a bag.

My suggestion for Kat is a small 22 caliber pistol. Her chance of survival is 100%
As the bear approaches, she knee caps you with the 22 and she can easily escape…..

Well thats one more positive for wheelguns. You can get snake/rat shot rounds for it too.
I have a S&W 357 with a 4 inch barrel that I load snake shot and HPs in when I’m out and about in the woods.

I like that, and confess I have never used snake shot before out of a pistol.
Sadly, I looked at the CCI web page and they do not make it in the .44 magnum.
For a slight turn of the subject at hand, I received my first two boxes of .44 magnum (50) last night. One is the Magtech hollow points I picked up for breaking in the gun. Secondly was a box of bear loads which presented with a semi-copper jacket and a somewhat flattened lead nose. Looks to be made to go deeper into the animal in lieu of blossoming right away.
I think you shoot 44spl in the 44. I have them for mine. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Well, I’ve weighed in on what I plan to get for my next bear country adventure (500 S&W)
However, if you go with the 629, I have one and have worked up a nice load for it. It’s 240gn at 1450 fps. A bit hot but it will get-r-dun
The G20, I have a 22# wolf spring, a KKM barrel (dont hot load a factory glock barrel, its not supported enough underneath and you can have a bulge or blowout). I have 200gn rounds loaded at 1350 FPS (which is the same ballistics as a .41mag revolver)
I can provide the recipe if you want to give them a whirl.
You know how to tell black bear from grizzly scat? Black bear scat has berries and seeds in it. Grizzly scat has bells and smells like pepper spray….

No need for outside cover as hot and (usually) dry it is. I cut wood 24 inches in length. Those racks are 10 ft long and about 5 ft or so of usable height for stacking. I burn about one rack a year so this years wood will be ready next year and then I can put up more wood for the following year.

Well done, JR. It’s getting the first few courses laid thats the hard part. Should be able to rock and roll from there…. I had a minor surgery today to have a mass removed from my back near the shoulder blade. Was supposed to be the size of a golf ball and turned out to be the size of a baseball. All good, nothing cancerous but wanted it gone. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Semi autos are fine and I hunt with them. Cycling a pump (slight rearward pressure on the slide during trigger pull) can be pretty quick and once you are empty, moving and tossing a round in the open port is much easier than trying to feed an auto.
In addition to the round selection issue Shawn mentioned.
I have quite a few 870s, from stock police models with extended tubes, to the tactical with the crenelated choke to my Wilson Combat 870, sprayed with backyard rattle can camo, ring sight and collapsible stock.
I have a Saiga or two but haven’t really taking a liking to them yet. The Benellis I have are for waterfowl hunting and there aint much sweeter than a Super Black Eagle with 3-1/2 magnum steel shot.
But in the end I think it’s like pistols or anything else, practice practice practice.
I’m reminded of that scene from Unforgiven where Eastwood lays quite a few people low with a side by side. Slow methodical and deliberate he reloaded and put some hurt on some people.
And my favorite scene where Hackman says “ you shot an unarmed man!” Eastwood retorts, “well he should have armed himself” “ and thats what he gets for decorating his saloon with my friend”

Ahh…equivocation.
It’s either illegal or it’s not. Anyone who skipped the line should be deported and go to the back of the line.
Ronald Regan got screwed when he tried to make a deal for amnesty and it’s only gotten worse. Shut it down, expel all the illegal immigrants. Then we can talk about legal immigration with an eye towards “can you contribute more than you take”

I think they call that dustless blasting? I’m probably going to write the check to have this stuff blasted. Got off loaded and started breaking it down. Picked up a FB buy this evening. rear end and springs/shackles. That thing is a tank. It took 4 of us to get it in the truck. Just glad it wansnt when I had the 12 inch lift and 37s on it…still probably 43-45 inch tailgate height. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Just bought 4 welding stands to offload the frame from the trailer and start breaking it down for blasting.
It’s a marathon and not a sprint.
I may get it offloaded this weekend. Gotta paint my firewood rack and finish the farm table too.
