I hear ya and it makes sense. Ballistics are really beyond me. I just know it's been a hot topic for people on a lot of survival boards as to "which gun would you take if S.H.T.F. "

And when talking about range, is it really a matter of the gun you are using or the cartridge? I would think the cartridge/powder load and bullet weight...right?
