Oh my.
JD done got me some dies in hand and some "magnum" bullets on order.
I have not looked forward to something with so much anticipation in a long time . . . .
I think that I am going to need to add some steel to the bullet trap.:chinscratch:
There are published loads saying 300gr at 2250FPS. This is going to be very serious fun! :banana:
You gotta like a revolver where a .45 Long Colt is like a .22 short and .454 Casull is like a .22 long.
Fuck,we will be picking up pieces of Rumbers fingers for the next few months after he Rumbelizes some 460 mag rounds.Crap I bet we will find finger parts all over Gadsden County.
That surely does not suck.Quote:

No. Believe it or not it would take to long to recover from the recoil to ever win.
If I remember correctly one round was shot at the pins when JD first got the revolver.
. . . I had to replace the deflector plate on the front of the table - it was beyond repair (the shot hit low).
I am figuring a 300gr bullet at 2250 will do quite nicely
. . . as a starting load. :goodjob:
Yes Rumbler I witnessed that shot to the table.
Please dont shoot that thing into the bullet trap. We will be fixin the wall behind it. The trap is not rifle rated.:DQuote:

Make one helluva hunting pistol for those places where it's shotgun/pistol only.
Rumbler ,just remember not to awing the cylinder closed,but use you hand to close it.Do not need another TS pistol going back to factory.ie warped crane.
You can damage one that way? Sounds like a piece of shit.Quote:

Point made? :)
No. Not at all. You can't be "too rough" in use with a Glock.Quote:

Rumbler,
Maybe you can post when you plan on shooting this cannon so those of us over here in Quincy can put on our ear protection.
I'm thinking that I at least need to run a red flag up high near the front gate.:roflmao:
LOL, like the undercurrent flags........nice.
The first time I shot it at the range, I went up to my office at the Ram building. When I walked through the door, one of the guys in the front office ask what in the hell we were shooting a few minutes ago. Mjolnir (Thor's Hammer) is what my son calls it.
Holy poop stacks!
I loaded some development cartridges finally. Just a few. get a load (pun intended) of this:
240gr jacketed hollow point
over 48.5 gr of H110.
Can you imagine . . . . :omfg:
That is about 2.5 times as much powder as I load in my very "best" 300BLK loads with a bullet weighing 2/3 as much.
I'm telling ya if I was a big badass polar bear, I would turn around and run from someone carrying a wheel gun full of those cartridges! :escape:
That's crazy. Would come in handy to stop a charging MRAP.

It's an 88 Magnum- magnum- magnum... It shoots through schools

Rumbler, does that 48.5gr fill up the case all the way to the bullet base?
40 x 400 = 500
No! Is that amazing or what ?!?! It is a solid 90+% full though.Quote:
