I thought you had a .45

How "large" do you think it has to be?


You apparently missed the sentence beginning "The ones I do *shoot* ..."
that followed the sentence "I don't *shoot* any "large caliber" firearms."

Shotguns, of course, are excluded.

.357 MAG is not a large caliber. Its bullet is barely larger in diameter
than a 9mm bullet. Picked up my lever action rifle yesterday, BTW.

What happened to the .45LC?

You seem to buy and sell guns at a pace that is hard to keep up with.
Maybe you should get an FFL.

I have only bought one gun since 1994 and I have never sold or given
one away.

He seems to sell a lot, just to keep on the 'good side' of the anti-gun nuts.



Your utter stupidity, I am sure, contributed significantly to our losses
in Vietnam and to the failures of the high school students you were
supposed to be teaching in Virginia.


Actually was the Democrat in charge, who sent me my draft notice in 1964,
who is to blame for the debacle in SEA.

I have only traded one. 30 carbine Ruger. Not fun to shoot. Traded for a
Colt 357 Trooper III. Am looking at buying the first one in 30 years. M&P
AR.

357 magnum and 45 are not target rounds unless your target has flesh and blood.


They can be target rounds. And 357 mag is definitely a large caliber
round! .45 is bigger than a 44 magnum in diameter. Not as powerful, but
definitely a large caliber.

Almost like he's making it all up as he goes along huh?


Perhaps one day when your meds aren't working anymore, you'll borrow gas
money and drive down here and bust into the house. After that, your
survivors can comment on whether it was made up, eh?

..357 rounds are about the same diameter as 9mm rounds. 9mm is available
with 147 grain and larger bullets. I shoot 125 grain and 158 grain .357.
It's not a large caliber round. I don't shoot .45 caliber.

Actually I know quite a few guys who shoot targets with 45s. The
recoil is not that bad and they do their own reloads, usually on the
soft side. Shooting a 357 magnum for fun strains my credibility a
bit however.

I used to like shooting my .357, when I still shot a lot. But rarely with a
magnum load. Light load 38's.

He is not shooting .357 magnum rounds. He is shooting very light loads.
Probably light for even .38 special. Little kick in the Ruger.

Gee, Bilious, just what *is* a .357 mag round, in your typically
uninformed opinion?

I didn't see a "crawl" along the bottom of the vid indicating what
powder and how much was being used, along with the bullet weight. I
shoot standard, manufactured .357 Mag target loads, with 158 grain
bullets. They *are* .357 magnum rounds. There's very little recoil or
muzzle flip with my revolver. I do have some special self-defense rounds
with a lighter grain bullet, but I don't use them for target shooting.

This is yet another of those subjects about which you don't know your
ass from a hole in the ground.
