TWO FINAL BOXES LEFT!

BOOM!

Whaddya got 2 boxes left Mackay?

May as well send 'em to Kansas.

You got it Skeen!

I will get them on the way tomorrow my Friend!

These loads are excellent penetrators, I caught 1 in 20% ballistic gel at 41" that equates to about 68.47" in 10% ballistic gel

BIG Thanks to JWP.


For shooting these into the 20% gel blocks.

10% is the FBI standard for handgun penetration tests.

41" is some without question some very deep penetration.







ALSO,

I have 8 boxes (800 rds) ready to go. Received a bit of brass and this is what did not immediately go right back out the door.

Also shot the +P 250 grain 45 ACP load into the 20% gel and it went all the way through the gel blocks.

36"s, 3 FEET of penetration before exiting.

That would be why it is one of my favorite (semi auto) loads to carry in Grizzly country!








Again,

I have 8 boxes of .357 magnum ready to go as of right now.

8 BOXES left!

I’m up north for the rest of the week and happily away from civilization. If you can wait till next for me to send funds I will take 2 boxes.

Muleshoe,

Never a worry at all. I will get you a couple headed your way tomorrow my friend.

Cheers!

6 boxes left

Another sold.

Make that 5 boxes now!

Pm sent

4 boxes left now!

Cheers!

i need to decide which easy carrying 45 to buy to shoot the 45 load you mentioned, for bears and such,,

I have done a lot of hiking throughout MT from Gates of the Mountains to the CM Russell Wildlife Management Area, to places around Helena and Livingston.
When it comes to .45s for the trail, a Glock 21 is not a bad choice in terms of weight and capacity. Fully loaded with 13+1 rounds of ammo it weighs less than a steel framed 1911 does empty.



Very easy to shoot quickly too.


The HK USP is never a bad choice either when it comes to a well built polymer framed gun





That said, I still tend to carry a steel framed 1911 quite often for day hikes where weight is not a major concern. It is a gun that can do double duty as a CCW piece if I need to run into town later and grab dinner or groceries.

A 5" Government Model tends to get used pretty frequently in the summer when it comes to hiking in yogi country.






Lots of good .45 semi autos out there, and using the 250 grain +P 45 ACP flat point, getting over 3 FEET of penetration in 20% gel, I feel fairly well armed.

BTW, I will be doing another run shortly. I think I have 2-300 rounds on hand at the moment.

I'll try a box for my scoped Dan Wesson. PM sent.

You got it LimaPapa.

I'll take a box of your 170's please. PM inbound.

You have a PM......Darrel

ALL THE 357 is SOLD!

Thanks all!!
