I dont think I would mind sticking a bayed up pig with
a couple dogs latched on but I believe I would rather
use a spear or lance than a knife.

I just read the other day that more men were killed in
the civil war with the lance than any other weapon.

I didnt know that.

I was thinking that if there was a 50special cartridge they could use the 2 lb pistols that now shoot 44mag without having to tote around the 5 pound pistols that shoot the SW 50 magnum.

Assume same bullet weights and same powder charges, barrel lengths and velocities, Does the flash from the cylinder and barrel junction increase the sound signature as compared to the semi-auto pistol ?

I was sort of focusing on recoil as being the same from a shooting sensation standpoint. That is why I was comparing the 44 special against the 357 mag. Since the recoil is similiar the momentum of both are approximately the same in the example I mentioned. From the above comments that pretty much m...

I was playing around with the recoil calculator and found that you could pick light bullets in the 357 mag (115gr) that would lower the the recoil close to that of a 44 special (185 gr) also with light bullets. What I noticed was the difference in bore pressures of 42,000cup for 357 mag and only 14,...

Youve almost got the right idea, if you are not shooting long range you
use the 85 - 100 grain pistol bullets instead of the 30/30 bullets.

You can get em up way past 3000 fps without even trying hard in a 30-06

I notice there are some long pointed boat tail bullets in .358 normally used I think in 35 Rem rifles that would be great for use in single shot pistols and rifles if the extra thousandth of an inch in diameter didnt cause problems.

Barnes is the only bullet mfg that makes super light weight bullets that are also very tough. All the others lightweight bullets are explosive varmint bullets.

If you examine closely the load tables by Hodgdon for 357 mag in rifles you will find that for all bullet weights up to that IMR 4227 provides the 2nd highest velocities behind the H-110 powder which ranks first.

Just an idea to consider, it seems that the lightweight bullets are hollowpoint ( which is the reason they are light ) dont work well because of excess expansion at hi speeds.

Forget about light-heavy bullets and soft expanding or hard bullets.
