Just got back to my computer after being away for 4 solid days and I see all of these /. Messages about Thanksgiving and such. I probably won't read any ... not that I don't care what others have to say, it's just that i don't care what others have to say.
Now onto the good stuff: I was hoping to put up a range report about my Ruger New Vacquero .45 Colt revolver. (patience, the ruger site takes a while to load.) I was able to fire off 5 rounds and it shot a bit left. I'll have to put it on paper at 10, 25, and 50 yards sometime and get some scans to put up some other weekend. But other than that the gun felt great. I shot some Federal semi-wad cutter hollow points at 900 fps. w/ 405 ft lbs. of energy and the recoil was fine. Definitely less than my .40 caliber (s&w) semi-auto. I plan on putting some reloads together once I get enough brass and I'll put those at about 1000fps on up to 1100 fps. 1200fps or so is common on the Ruger Blackhawk, but my guns frame is just a little bit smaller so I won't push it that far.
On another note, my car got 30 miles per gallon on the last portion of driving for the weekend. I kept the Oldsmobile '88 under 70 on the interstate and I think that's the key to good mileage on the series uno 3800 v6. I didn't baby it the whole time either, did a little rodding around but I kept it low on the highways and all was well. It sounds like a goddamn pickup truck engine rolling down the road so I'll get it checked to see if it's lean or rich. .....anyways, peace. i'm out for now.
