I put my name in for the turkey reserved hunt at Jasper-Pulaski and just found out I got chosen. I plan to try a bow for turkey this year ... although I may take my crossbow on one of the days just for a change.
Now, I've never hunted at J-P for anything ... I've only been up to the range. I...
I've done some tests with overall length with the .45 acp. These were Berry 230 gr. plated RN, Winchester large pistol primers, assorted brass and Titegroup. Velocities are the averages of 10 shots through a Kimber Tactical Custom II (5 in barrel):
Grains ... OAL ... velocity...
Those are three good choices ... I do particularly like the design Savage 1907 ... but I would say best 1920's pocket gun is the Remington Model 51 with the John Pederson designed "momentum block" lockup mechanism. The M51 is easily the most comfortable gun I have ever held in my hands. I have 2...
I've got enough ammo and components to make it through the weekly IDPA/USPSA/Steel comps in the summer up to the state matches, but not more so I am being conservative right now with my shooting.
Instead, I've taken up tomahawk throwing and been practising the bow much more so far this year. I...
These load tests were for IDPA/USPSA/Steel ... to test the accuracy of these loads I tend to shoot 10 off hand shots at 7 yards at the pace I shoot in competition. I figure this includes felt recoil, etc in how accurately I can shoot them in a match ... so I don't get a real measure for the...

Update
SB 0181 passed the Senate on third reading with a unanimous vote and no amendments. :rockwoot:
It has now been referred to the House. It is being sponsored in the House by Reps. McMillin, Baird and Eberhart.
I've been using Berry's 230 gr. RN, 4.6 gr. Titegroup, OAL 1.23 in my Kimber. It chrono's at 765 fps (PF 176).
I used to run Berry's 200 gr. plated SWC with 7.8 gr. of AA#5 (OAL 1.19, 865 fps). That was a very accurate load but the Kimber would choke on them periodically so I went back to RN...
