I have never tried to tell you what works for your shooting. But you are a moving target. You say one thing and then changte it the next time... you talk about 9mm and 38's and olympic style 22's at targets... and now you talk about plinking and defensive shooting with .357's and .45's and everything else. First you never heard of a chronograph and now you use one all the time to see what is the best factory round? why? that stuff is published everywhere.

I don't have a clue what you do but I can't imagine anyone paying you to shoot such a large variety of guns and giving you free ammo to participate in so many shooting types.

No... it is you who is trying to tell me what and how to shoot... handloads are for idiots you say.... 44's don't penetrate as well as 9mm you say even tho.... you have.... er had... no clue as to what load you were shooting in either caliber. You don't know the specs even tho you claim to check factory loads on the chronograph. You claim to have shot 70,000 rounds of 9mm(nice even number) with only one failure of this factory ammo... this is phenonominal unheard of.

no matter what... your case is special and holds no resemblance to anything anyone I knows situation. don't shoot anything but factory ammo.... it's all free.... shoot every kind of gun there is at every type of shooting sport possible... Yet.... know nothing about ammo.

it's not that I don't believe you it's just that you are the strangest shooter I have ever heard of. I know guys who have shot nothing but hundreds of thousands of .45 ammo and use factory stuff or have people reload for em... they know nothing about ammo and don't care... they don't even pretend to. They don't pretend to know anything about any fireams except the .45's they shoot and even then... just how to use em fast and accurate.

oh... and people my age usually started shooting when they were 9 or ten... I was nine... by the time I was twelve I had probly put 100,000 rounds through an old High Standard Sport king with 6' barrel... we all got merit badges in the boys scouts for markmanship before we were teenagers. One of my 44 mag super blackhawks has more than 50,000 rounds through it before I quit counting .... sooo.... maybe you shouldn't tell me how to shoot either.

my guns are 20 feet from me right now and I have a good variety and factory and reloads for all of em.... plus..

I am not bored with shooting. In fact... I have at least 3 guns and 6 loads that I haven't gotten around to checking out yet... it will be fun.... run em trough the chrono... or maybe shoot paper first and then... just blow stuff up. if the load is good.... great... if not... we will just burn em up and try something else next time.

My next project: just picked up a Universal M1 Carbine, and ordered a 5.7 spitfire barrel for it from brownell's. I think I will go with one of those Ultimak scout scope mounts.

According to all the data I can find, I ought to be able to get performance very near .223 with that round. That ain's aying much, but we shall see...

Well I tried the FN P90 in Rainbow Six 3 and it sucked. Took forever to kill someone. That's proof enough for me.

shubie... I don't know but it would be fun to try. Maybe you can get patrone to send you a couple of hundred thousand factory rounds for testing? You can use the brass to make something neat.

I got nothing aginst people likeing one type of round over another or only likeing factory ammor or only likeing reloads.... so long as they realize that they are limiting themselves. I do it myself for various reasons but I try to stay openminded and enjoy whatever I get a chance to shoot.
