get a 460 rowland chamber, and do even better. I don't like the idea of the bullet turning into dust at impact. I much prefer my 3 frag idea, with the hollowbased, wadcutter shaped, nose heavy real section giving plenty of penetration.
I'm surprised the anti-gun crowd hasn't hatched a cow over fragmenting bullets. How the heck will the authorities get barrel engraving markings off of something like that? Heck, give the bad guys a revolver (leaves no casings lying around) with fully fragmenting projectiles and there goes their ballistic fingerprinting plan right out the window.
Rich,don't forget the .45cal blackpowder sabot rounds that use a .38cal bullet.Not much left of those either after they've been fired out of a .45.Especially a Ruger 45.
Hey, I didn't know about those! Sounds like a neat project to play around with using my Anacondas in .45 Colt.
I've kind of had my eye opened for an AMT in .30 Carbine, thinking I could play around with those sabboted .22 projectiles. Gun shows used to be filled with them until I started wanting one. Haven't seen one since. Probably just as well, because I would imagine they wouldn't work so well in a semi-auto.
If youve ever watched any of these police investigation/forensics shows you can see what a joke it is.
They take a pic of the primer on a fired casing from the crime scene, then do the same with the suspected murder weapon, cut the two pics in half down the middle and kind of superimpose them over each other. If they line up they claim they have the murder weapon....
Im not sure about the rifling thing either. Most barels now are made under pretty exacting tolerances. Besides how often would someone find some intact bullets after they've bounced off of bones, shedded their jackets, hit walls, etc. ?
too damned much. Not only should that gun have been torched into a puddle of slag on the shop floor, you should have been in the wind, different face, ID, vehicle, plenty of money, etc.
