I want the 85 grain version w/embossed hornady VMax caliber info! Very rare! Costs extra! Only loaded one year.

(I know 55 grain is std. for a .223 but I was referencing the 1985 model year, of course)

One of the instructors at college in FL is an ex-FBI special agent. He said they don't use the 9 mm, they use a S&W .40. More stopping power.
 
Hornady vmax. Pretty much the only thing I shoot/reload for my AR. Its awesome

But I prefer sierra matchkings in the .308

I loaded a bunch of 243 varmit rounds about 2 years ago. I think they were around 50 grain . Lightening fast and a kick in the pants!

There's a lot of truth about carrying larger than 9mm. But, when size and weight matter. Not a lot of choices in super compact handguns......
 
16+1 in my Law Enforcement Sig 226. Throw two magazines on your equipment belt and that is a helluva fire fight. I'd rather have that many chances under stress than what that .45 1911 offers. Just my opinion and choice. I agree about the impact power of the larger loads. If bigger was always better, Desert Eagle .50 would be the ****. Obviously its not a carry weapon
 
When I was still a cop I carried a Glock 21 .45. 13 in the mag, I never double stuffed it, A full mag in the gun and two on my belt was more than enough. I kind of miss that gun, I had it set up nicely. I sold it a few weeks back. Just didn't shoot it or anything anymore. I still got the 23 in .40 and my mod 29 for bedside home protection.

I like the Sierra match-king BTHP bullets for the .300wm rifle. I used the V-max bullets before but, I love the match kings. IMO They're more predictable and accurate with my load recipe. according to the chrono I'm consistently 3100 fps. Currently you can one-hole it at the end of the range here with the 168gr. But if I were to go longer than 300 yards I'd go with the 175 or 180. I love that rifle :biglaugh:

Can't beat the Glock . Got a Model 22 in 40 cal. + 2 mags , all you need , and they are local for me , Marietta , GA. , about a 40 minute drive.

Is the 285/ 85 junction still known as "malfunction junction"? I lived in Marietta and drove to Norcross (Indian Trail exit) everyday and it was backed up from when I got onto 285 @ Powers Ferry, yeah a 50 min to hour drive to work every morning and 15-20 min home! I moved to Tucker as soon as my lease was up in Marietta, man that drive sucked even way back in '86!
 
Yep , also called " spaghetti junction " , among a few choice other terms. Traffic was the main reason I moved East in '86 . Lived in the Smyrna , Marietta , area from about '78 -'86. Nightmare most of the time. Ever go to Magruders ? Breezies ?

I have went to Magruders a few times, mostly ended up going to American Pie in Sandy Springs or Aunt Charlies in Buckhead. I also used to go to The Derby up in Alpharetta just before I moved to Washington State.
I lived their when I was 24 to 29-30 y.o. so I was all over the place chasing girls, some good memories especially at Aunt Charlies!
 
I " bought " Magruders about 3 years before the Japanese came in and bought the entire complex . Owner got behind on taxes etc. and needed a cash infusion / buyer for the place.

Owned a piece of Breezies for about 3 years during the " Disco " years too. Ran the place from 5 p.m. to 2 a.m. & then headed to " Billys " & would finish at the " 806 " club on Roswell at daybreak. Surprised I survived. lol
