Heat index of 93 today with the wind still in the 30's!  It is now a 60% chance of rain early tomorrow with 1/10 to 1/4" except more in a thunderstorm.

Go with the info from Hornady. There are 5 or 6 other powders in my manual for the 175.

the "P" serial numbers started in 1964 from what I see.   :)

The powder is not in my Sierra manual. You might check with the powder company.

The wind is gusting well into the 30's here. The predicted yesterday 80% chance of rain tonight is now down to 30%. It's been as dry as my matini here.

If you are going with a handgun,. I highly reccomend a Glock. Ugly as hell, but never jam or fail to fire!

I have a Buck 118 "personal" my dad gave me in 1966. I have dealt with uncounted numbers of deer with it and still carry it to this day.. It is too bad Buck made them in China. I have one that was a gift. Case is the only totally made in the U S other than the anti gun Benchmade factory knives. Case are made in Brandford Pa. They make Zippo lighters there as well.

I was armed and no, he parked where I could not see his plates. My truck was in the way and it was very dark. Andi was the deterent. He could have been targeting me as the old fart. He did not stop anywhere else on my block. I watched him leave. I have cameras facing the street but I think he knew where they are. He sure understood about me saying to not trust the dog.  BTW, it was a white guy speaking Creole, unusual!  :)

I was just about to open the gate at 0530 to walk my dog when a guy stops his pick up in front of my house. I don't know or have ever seen this person. He claims to be the neighborhood watch. He starts by talking to me in Creole. I told him not to trust the dog. That worried him and he left. There is no neighborhood watch. With him trying to speak Creole, I suspect he was the feds.

Cool info!

The Mossberg is a good choice. The problem I run into is manuverability in my narrow hall way wth any long gun. #2 or #4 shot work and penetrate a lot less My walls are concrete block but the windows are the escape point for any weapon's load.  :)

U S made Bucks are always a good choice!  ;D

The guy that lives right behind me served but got what we used to call a section 8 discharge. Crazy!
