Re: A Chilling Thought
Recently, the temperatures for April of 2023 were released. The temperatures were lower over the entire planet for April 2023 than for April 1823. My takeaway is that the planet has always been changing.

My only experience with shooting at and being shot back at is in video games. Not realistic at all. The Army trained us for battle, but I never had to go during my time as a volunteer. If I had no choice other than a handgun, I would use either caliber to make my way to a rifle or a 12 gauge. Based ...

I reload because I have a few uncommon calibers. Easier to reload than to find them factory loaded. I branched out to some common calibers such as .270 and .30-06 for the interest in finding more accuracy.

Over 1500 fps. Probably closer to 1700. Factory is 1325 out of a 7.5 inch barrel. L'iL Gun is faster than factory.

L'iL Gun works well in my .480 revolver and levergun. It seems to heat the barrel more than H110 does, but accuracy is better. Not many things need more than a one shot.
