Sturgeon Posted June 20, 2016 Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 Hm, not bad looking. How about a 215 grain? I think that one was actually about 188gr, because there was a modeling error I didn't catch until later. As for your Mk. II Special Redux request, it might be a tight fit for the host cartridge I've got in mind... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khand-e Posted June 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 So yeah, I wasn't joking when I said I was selliing my P320 just to spite SIG fanboys, my buyer is coming to get it today. But I have 2 new pieces to my collection to make up for it! (technically 2 1/2, I had a bit of buyers remose on the trade for the Walther P99 to for my old Glock 22 Gen4, so that's back too.)

Heavy enough for all NA game, yet a very solid performer for range work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturgeon Posted June 23, 2016 Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 185gr sounds heavy enough to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturgeon Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 Not being properly venerated is always the biggest problem for any gun manufacturer: So how does Ruger prevent itself from falling into R&D hell or releasing a product before it has been properly venerated?

Meplat Posted June 25, 2016 Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 185gr sounds heavy enough to me. My favorite was a 220 grain FMJBTHP, atop a charge of 4895 I cannot remember. but it was absurdly accurate. .303" is absurdly flexible in what it will tolerate, yet very fickle as to what it will shoot accurately. I slugged the bore of my Long Branch No4, and found it was a nominal .3085".. Meaning I could easily neck size cases to use most .30 (nominal) projos.

Meplat Posted June 25, 2016 Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 Not being properly venerated is always the biggest problem for any gun manufacturer: That Ruger began making a M1911A1 clone not long after I screamed at an exec for NOT jumping on the "1911" bandwagon is more than a bit galling. My time at Ruger was very educational. I also found it amusing to have them introduce an AR clone after I told one exec " If you made a Mini 14 that used STANAG mags, you might sell a lot more of them.".
