Just pick up a witness in .38 super."When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." -Benjamin Franklin
"A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury." -Alexander Fraser Tytler

What about 9x18 (Makarov)? I know it'r marginally better than .380 acp but would still like to see it in comparison in the chart."Laws that forbid the carrying of arms...disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes...Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man." - Thomas Jefferson, 1776

Hang on, now. Where'd you get your numbers for .445 SuperMag? There's no way it's less than .44 Magnum.
Hodgdon shows a 180 grain bullet at 1992 fps (1586 fpe, 359 power factor),
200 grain bullet at 1885 fps (1578 fpe, 377 power factor),
225 grain bullet at 1864 fps (1736 fpe, 419 power factor) and
240 grain bullet at 1798 fps (1722 fpe 432 power factor).Originally posted by BroncojohnnyHOORAY ME and FUCK YOU!

Originally posted by Nash B. View PostNo, but would Hodgdon publish unsafe loads? Just glancing at them, they have 5-10 grains more powder compared to their .44 Magnum counterparts, and that's with .3"+ more case. I've shot the 240 grain load in my SuperMag with no pressure signs, either."When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." -Benjamin Franklin
