Talked to Pete from PA last night. Nice guy. Had a nice chat with him. Got my new SS breech plug with 3/8" hex head on order. I figure it'll save me $$ in the long run since I won't be buying vent liners anymore.  Now I just need to figure out how my 45 pacnor barrel will save me $$ in case the wife starts asking questions.  Shouldn't be too hard.... |

lwh723 If you're going to shoot 200 grain bullets in a sabot you can tell her it's actually quite simple: 200 gr xtp's are $0.21 a piece 300 gr xtps are $0.36 a piece. That's a savings of $0.15 each time you pull the trigger. Using $390 for the barrel, you can tell her in 2,600 shots it will be paid for!  That's not including the $$$ saved using less power in the 45, vs 50! ;D ;D ;D |

I like the savings per shot idea since it means I'll need to do a lot of shooting. Was thinking of taking the "200gr bullets will save my shoulder route" as I seperated my shoulder last fall shooting heavy 300g loads out of the 10ML and hot sabots out of my lightweight slug gun.
Sadly, I think I own more shoes than my wife. Her thing is horses. I wish it was shoes.

That being said, I wish you were wrong.... I don't make enough to support that kind of competition!! |
