its all propellant; black, cocoa, semi smokeless and smokeless gunpowder. black or any other powder does not detonate as its a low order explosive (subsonic speed) it deflagrates = a hot grain ignites a cold grain whereas with a high order detonation all the product goes.

use the 185 Beartooth, a jacketed bullet cant stand in the shadow of a HCGC FP, they mushroom and loose penetration whereas a HC FP creates a cavitation bubble when it encounters liquid and flesh that acts like a SP and makes a heck of a wound channel Ive gotten over 4' of travel with a 357 180 WFN ...

Scout scopes are intermediate eye relief generally 7 to 11 inches, pistol type scopes are 18 to 24 inches.

Its not hard at all to move cattle thats the easy part getting them all gathered and hold them to move is the hard part, theres a lead cow the boss of the herd get her moving and the rest follow.

If the easement was taken from two properties IE: the center of the road divides, 15' either side, thats why they double fenced. Otherwise from a single property there would of been a single fence and the easement would on the land granting said. If they want to use the easement by law they are only...

With the 92 frame in 45 colt you can use a gamer load to 50K load I run a 14K load and a 30K load all usable in my pistol too. If you get a 454 just down load it to 45 levels and tricking it out to shoot 45 and 454 might cost you some hide if it malfunctions dealing with a bear. danny

MH nice rifles and cartridges, I would crimp your 300 savage case with a lee FCD by doing that with my 300 I cut my groups in half with jacketed and lead bullets I have run Beartooth 160 and 173 in my 300 but prefer the 160 as it is a short shank style and the GC is just below the neck. danny

In a pistol a HC WFN, stable out to 100 yds ,if further run a LFN. I run a 45 255 WFN at 1000 fps, use to run them at 900 but AA brought out new data for 5744 that still keeps them at 14K psi. The difference in a HC wfn compared to a jacketed HP or SP it out performs and penetrates. danny
