| Bigum1969 - 10mm works well with 200 grainers loaded moderately warm. My problem is the connection between the trigger and the ground. Same problem with the Coonan.
MrMysterious - We've had folks bring out the 50 cal in the form of Desert Eagles and S&W 500s, however, with standard loads the recoil rcovery time was substancial. The 50s trash the pins fast. If one were to download a 350 grain bullet to around 800 fps, it might work well. I had some slow 300 grainers in 45 colt that were effective, but they were expensive.
At Marion County Fishy & Game, for 38spl and 9mm, we place the pins in the middle of the table (minor category). Although there is still some discussion if this is a fair practice, it gives folks that do not own larger calibers a chance to compete. When a better shooter loads up some warm 147 grain 9mm, there does seem to be an advantage. So far, our better shooters have not exploited this opportunity(at least not on a regular basis).
We will now be shooting an entire bracket (second chance included) using pin heads (just the top few inches of the pins) with 22s. Even standard velocity ammo knocks them around quite a bit.
Hopefully, Saturday May 24 will be dry so we can shoot pins.
If not we'll set up some steel plates for fun.
Hope you all will consider comming out to play - safely. |
