Re: Chrony Ballistics Software

So GACOP, why didn't you send it back? I understand they do a good job of standing behind their product. :roll:

Re: weaver scopes - how good are the new ones ?

Another choice would be the Nikon Buckmaster refurb at Natchez. I just picked up a 4-12x50 and it's about as bright as my Zeiss. :D

Re: shelf life of powders

Haven't had much go bad even though some was over 35 years old. Did have one can get "red". More often than not I discard powder for other reasons like not meeting my load criteria. It gets sprinkled in my wife's garden as it is an excellent fertilizer. ;)

Re: Taurus .357-2" ~ Opinions?

Ahab: I'm wondering if your wife has ever practiced with her .357 and full house loads in that ported revolver in low light situations.

Re: Taurus .357-2" ~ Opinions?

My wife has the Taurus Titanium Model 617 .357 snubby. When we go to the range everyone is amazed how well she shoots it. It's ported and has the ribbed grip which really controls recoil. Yes, she shoots full house .357's. :D
