Jim, That's kinda my point. Flukes happen. Odds of stopping an attack increase with power factor. I guess I did sound kinda rude, though. I didn't take your post as rude. I cannot speak for others, but the few times I have had occasion to deal with armed individuals face to face, I never looked at ...

It don't take much to kill a man.

I feel that if you pull a full power 44 mag with a ported barrel if you don't kill them with 5 shots you definately deafened them and scared the stuff outta them. Often in those situations you never even hear the gun go off. It's called "auditory exclusion" and in a high-adreneline situat...

This is an interesting post with many interesting responses. My favorite .25 ACP story goes back to Vallejo, CA, and dates to the late '60's. It involves Lloyd Schoenauer (Sp?) who ran the Vallejo Rifle Ranch. Lloyd found himself involved in a gunfight with a man who pulled a .25 ACP and emptied it...

A frirend commented that hunting with politicians in general never seems to work out.

I wonder why they persist in doing it? Do they think gun people are so stupid as to not notice?

JimT

Besides the stories of how it failed, I have a number of accounts of one-shot kills with the 25 ACP. I know I don't want anybody puncturing me with one. That's the fist thing that always comes to my mind when people discount small caliber handguns. "Would you want to be shot with one? Not me!&...

Hey Sixgun! You shoulda done it!

That 1000 fps was from a RAVEN!! From a decent .25 I am sure they would do better.

Besides .. everybody should reload with a magnifying glass and tweezers at least once.

JimT

Years ago I reloaded cast flat points for the 25ACP ... a 48 gr. cast flat point bullet at 1000 fps ain't a powder puff.

It is a pain reloading the durn things though.

It was Mr. Imperato's father that passed away.

I sent condolences from all of us at Leverguns and received a very nice reply back.

Mr. Imperato promised us at least one to test ... said it would Spring sometime when we talked to him. That was some time ago so things could go either way.

No, this was never started as a "shootists" group. Paco and I started it because we like leverguns and because we knew there were others out there who like them. The Shootists organization is not an elitist group nor do they think they are better than everyone else. It is a small group and...

Can someone explain the fascination with an SAA in .44 Spec when there are .45 Colt available? I can't understand it either. The .44 and the .45 are both limited to 14,000 CUP in the SAA, and both shoot similiar weight bullets at similiar weight velocities. I guess the deciding factor would come do...

How long was the shot? How fast were they flying? :) Not sure how fast they were going. They passed a 767 that was on approach. I took the lead reindeer at a lasered 987 yards. They kept going until I dropped the 2nd one. That stopped them, but the shot was just over 1420 yards by then. The dang sl...

Tutt - rifle cartridges with slow powders are a completely different world than sixgun cartridges. The problem has arisen in the shooting community when people read about what has happened with rifles and try to apply it to the world of sixguns.

JimT

I suspect that the fast powders are not position sensitive and the slow ones are. Slower powders work best when they either fill the case or are held against the primer. My guess is that you are correct .. but it's just my guess. However, 50 years of reloading most everything from .25 ACP to .475 L...

Primers have a lot of power. Mic McPherson can speak to that better than I, but here is a test you can run that I got from him...

The advice to stick the loading manuals is excellent. As to "detonations" in revolvers with loads of light powder, the neat thing about science is that whatever your hypothesis, without evidence it's just a guess. When somethng can be proven and the results are repeatable, then we have fac...

JimT

It's always a "detonation" when someone blows up a gun, regardless of the real cause. No one likes to think they may have seated 2 bullets into one cartridge thereby causing horrendous pressures. Or any other mistake. So we have "detonation". It's a good explanation, even though ...
