Mmmm... I love Raman noodles and bologna

At least I better until next payday which is in 2 weeks!



Just bought a U60XRGT from lighthound today. I was just going to go for the B60LE but decided to bite the bullet and go for the gold. I can't wait to get it, maybe it will help subside the hunger pains.

Dude, I am in the same boat...I went a little in the red after this month, since I got myself a Springfield and already spent 350 on ammo(1700 rounds of it, already shot 400 of it), so my dream of a U85 is once again delayed...but damn the feeling of recoil is addicting....that means I need to buy a Ruger 22/45 for plinking so I don't have to buy so many rounds of 45, but man, isn't taht where the cycle started? I boght my first G2 with 2 boxes of battery, and then I wanted something that runs longer like a E2o, and then that extended to LED while I told myself that I'll save money in the long run(man iwas in denial). and now I have a room full of lights...sigh...

Recoil junkie eh? I'm a 10mm fan so I can relate! :naughty:

Mmmmm, 10mm 180gr. Shweeeet.

But for recoil, it's a pussycat compared to a .44 Mag 240 grain full-house load at 1000 fpe. The 10mm load is only about 600 fpe or so.

And that just covers the 'normal' rounds, not even going to get into hand-cannons. Nope, not going to get into the JDJ stuff, or the 30-30 Contender, or the .308, or the .45-70, or ....

Ah, I was wondering when someone would bring out the bug guns....

well, the 45 ain't far behind at 230 grain ball ammo at 850ish feet per second, but compared to the price of 44 ammo the 45 is a down right bargin....

ramen noodles with tuna aint bad either.....

.45 ACP, 230 gr with ~6gr powder charge at 850 fps in a 2.5 lb gun = 6.1 ft-lb recoil energy (368 ft-lb muzzle energy)

.44 Mag, 240 gr with ~24 gr powder charge at 1470 fps in a 2.5 lb gun = 25.5 ft-lb recoil energy (1150 ft-lb muzzle energy)

10mm, 200 gr with ~14 gr powder charge at 1200 fps in a 2.5 lb gun = 11.1 ft-lb recoil energy (638 ft-lb muzzle energy)

All fun, in different ways and for different purposes.
