Re: OT. I JUST GOT KICKED OFF THE S&W FORUM, AGAIN.

I have seen a few mods on other sites that do take it to far, LS1TECH.com has the worlds worst. I mod on two sites and both are a very good class of people just like this site. If you have good people life is easy.

Re: The .405's ??

I have a 24" rifle barrel chambered in .405 for my Encore and with the Hornady 300gr ammo recoil is stiff but not untolerable. I have been wanting to work on some plinker loads using .41 mag bullets.

Re: OT Eye candy for you muscle car guys!

The horsepower wars have begun again, and it's just as interesting now as back in the late 60's early 70's! GM, Ford, and Mopar at it again.

Any one seen the new 2011 Z28? Look out GT-500!!!

40gr Ballistic Tip, hands down!!! In a .223 or .22-250 they are hard to guard! They also put dogs down in their tracks, with a FMJ bullet you sometimes can have a dog run off and they don't leave much of a blood trail either.
