I hunt with a 10mm and run it as a 180gr XTP at 1300fps from a 4" 1911. Gets me 675fpe from the 4" tube. Power factor is 234.

I like the 10mm. Heavy and fast.

Shucks Tubby - knew you'd had some but not that extreme - phew - not so good! We lucked out so far and have some freezing rain and wet rain but not too much else. It'll come tho - sometime. Worst I had here was the ''President's Day" fall in February about three or four years ago - it was a good 2 foot IIRC.

My lil' blower is sitting on the porch at the ready but sure as heck hope I don't need it too much! If you have a pic or two do post in ''off topic'' sometime ... sounds horrendous. Take care.

Here's a few in post #51 I took with my camera phone. This was yesterday. Add another foot or so to these pics. The width of the second pic is about from the street to the garage. All was about chest high today. And read the post above mine (#50) for a description of the area. Well done.

Let it snow...

Ahh - hadn't seen those - yes indeed, more than enough!!!

This was here in 2004 - one example of more than enough - quite a dig to get out to my old shed and office shed! Other pic is driveway that gets me from front round to back where I park the truck.

I won't mind if we don't get this much this winter ! Oh dear we are way off topic . hmm guilty myself ... oh well ..... better get back to load data!!
