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

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!

No worries about being late, I expect that you are a bit more caught up at work these days. (Retirement will feel sooo good!)
Sounds like a cool gun!

I reloaded my .41 mag ammo, but have lost all memory of that...

The 10mm is a bit of a mystery to me...sort of like my 6.5 PRC. Speaking of that, I never realized it was a .264 Winchester magnum. one of my favorite all-time cartridges...

I'll likely start pistol reloading on that .44 magnum. 9mm is still pretty cheap over at Buds...

Thanks all for the discussion and tips...

The test drive yesterday was amazing!

I have the suspension I was looking for and the power along with the extended gear from the larger tires.

It is just so perfect right now!

The ride is firm but not harsh. You hit a pothole expecting a jarring but instead you get a modulated bounce that stops mid stream. The cornering is nothing short of spectacular. Cutting the gear back with the 2" larger diameter tire makes the torque surge instead of leap. It's so useable and darned quick too.

I have zero complaints at the moment, and I drove it over 100 miles to be sure.

When the speedo says 70, I am keeping up with traffic and speeding past the semis. In KY most folks drive 75-80 and the trucks at 65. Without knowing for sure I am 5mph off or perhaps a tad more. I'll have to get that dialed in.

It did not like either at all! Alls good now, hopefully this week it starts fine. Did get a new fuel filter and battery.

Picked these up today, $400 for 5 sets. What a pain to take apart though, took 3 hours for my son and I. They were a little rusty in spots and in the dirt, zero dark thirty getting out of there. (East of Lodi)

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.
