.45 Hydra Shok

[demkofour]

I've got an old box of the Speer Lawman "flying ashtray" here. I believe I recall Super Vel also had a load with that bullet, but I can't physically confirm that from my end…

The 'Wisdom of Autumn'...

.45 ACP...Because shooting twice is just silly.

"A 9mm sometimes fails to expand, but a .45 never shrinks."


That kid's pretty sharp.

Super Vel was the so called "Flying Ashtray" long before any of the others.
1970s I believe.

I tried to take a walk......

..........
I used to hunt a State Park and it sounded like a war zone on opening day. Lots of bad shots and misses.

.... at the start of the season down a dirt road by the woods in Western NC. A shot went off about every minute. Obviously people were shooting at anything that moved or possibly nothing at all. It didn't spoil my walk on a beautiful fall day, but it was a little disconcerting, to say the least.

I wonder why people don't go to the range all year long if all they want to do is 'hunt' by firing their guns off. I suppose there's a chance they might really flush out a deer that they could shoot at.

Actually no, G2 in 9mm and 40 but stayed with HST for 45s

I realize that and my post was only referring to the 9mm. My comment in regard to the .45 was meant to indicate that many of the old die hard .45 acp guys were transitioning to 9mm due to the performance of the 9mm G2. I was involved in some of the meetings when the decision was made to go to G2. The HST is an outstanding round and generally stays together very well. It is, however, not a bonded round like the G2.
