I spent some happy hours over at Beartooth and hanging with Marshall’s partner in crime, Pete Thornilly in Southern Oregon. Pete and Marshall came up with some sobering duplex loads for the .444 with hard cast.

Thanks Bill Tru Dat. He's one of the straightest people I've ever talked to. I was going over some of the archived bloviating on the Beartooth Forum concerning heavy for caliber loads, and how internet-experts convinced a newby that the 5.5" Ruger Redhawk cannot possibly stabilize a bullet that long [405] in a 1:20 barrel, and convinced him that he would have to install a 1:10 barrel on the redhawk. [ !!!!!!!! ]

This after Marshall published his stock redhawk results. I think he posted his target. And after the guy in MO posted his photo of the 13 water jugs his 405gr stock redhawk load penetrated. Conclusively proving that some experts might maybe be exspurts. Because you can not penetrate 13 jugs of water in a dead straight line with an unstable bullet. Right?

Anyway I spent some enjoyable hours copying the tech articles to the compluter and reminiscing about times past, and thought there are some that are still relevant two decades later . . . big smiles, there's lots and lots of meat and potato information left to forage on the archive machines.
