I don't follow horse racing - but dang! What a race.... Guy

Impressive performance!

That was a nice evening @JD338 Guy

We switched chronographs part way through - but I didn't set them up - the video guy did. He's also an accomplished reloader. You may be onto something there. I intend to re-run the loading and shooting sessions but need to get some more of those 350 grain Berry's plated bullets. I want to keep...

I like that "off switch" photo of yours. Normally I aim lower in the chest on mule deer, going for heart & lungs. But... Years ago there was a big muley doe at about 70 yards in tall grass covering her legs and nearly 2/3 of her body... Hit right about where your diagram/photo shows, with a 405...

I often use my service gun - the 45 Kimber 1911 I bought new in 1997 and carried for the next 17 years putting about 80,000 rounds through it in that time. It still shoots great though it's not as "tight" as it was when new. It was my backup gun for qual today in case the Holosun on my...

So what is LEOSA some might wonder? It's the 2004 (later amended) Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act which allows retired cops who qualify with their handguns annually, to carry concealed in all fifty states. It's a great thing. Frankly I wish everyone could legally carry concealed in all 50...

Yup, lead exposure is a real thing. I just loaded another 100 of the 45 ACP with Berry's bullets this morning. Guy

Pretty doggone awesome Roy!

Well that's about as accurate as it gets! Congrats. Ya, I've had excellent results from the Ballistic Tip on mule deer, black bear, pronghorn and elk. You should be good to go. Regards, Guy

A high quality choice.

BTW, have been busy loading up more of those 45 cal 185 grain hollow-base plated Berry's bullets. Ten years since the start of this thread. I guess I like those doggone lightweight 45 bullets!

Looks good! Best of luck. :)

Just saw this! The 9mm from a 1911 is just sweet to shoot. Minimal recoil. Very easy to keep the sights on target. Re effectiveness - I'm like you - I like seeing those great big .45 cal holes in the target. Real world shootings in recent years with up-to-date bullets are showing the 9mm to be...
