Well there is another outage at the Hosting Company.
This time the server that is hosting all of the images is off-line. They tell me someone will look into it in 24-48 hours.
These guys used to be so good. Then they got bought out a couple of years ago and nothing but problems.
In addition to the new 10MM auto round that Barnes has begun manufacturing, there were two other interesting additions to the Barnes Lineup presented at this years SHOT Show.
Barnes has announced both a 41 Magnum loading and a 45 Long Colt loading for mid year production. As soon as samples are available, I will run them over the Chronograph and let you know the facts on these new offerings.
I apologize for 45Talk’s recent downtime and I thank those folks that E-mailed me to let me know they could no longer access the site.
The hosting company blames it on a freak glitch…..isn’t that always the case? Never their fault, always a one in a million shot.
We reloaded from the backup and we re-posted all of the SHOT Show posts, lets hope for smooth sailing
As many of you know, I am a long time fan of the 45 Super cartridge.
The good folks at Boberg now have a pocket autoloader rated to handle the 45 Super.
This is the first compact pistol in the 45 Super market. Boberg uses a unique reverse feed system that allows for an almost 4″ barrel in this tiny pistol.

I had a nice chat with the Boberg folks at SHOT and have asked for a Testing and Evaluation sample of the XR45S. When it arrives I will post again, including some chronograph data as I acquire it.
While I am not normally an air gun person and this is a 45 Blog, Crossman caught my eye out at the shooting range with their New .357 air rifle
A .357 Air Rifle? As one of those of us that have not been paying attention to air rifles, I had no idea the market place was going this way.
The BULLDOG 357 is a Extremely powerful slug thrower. It is large and heavy. After all it does have to hold 3000 PSI of compressed air.
The rifle can be charged from SCUBA tanks or with a hand pump. NO, I did not try the hand pump.
On a full charge, the rifle gets 5 MAX power shots and a total of 5 more shots that are almost full power. Then it should be recharged.
A standard 80 cubic foot scuba tank will provide approximately 60 charges for the rifle.
The little black box in the foreground of the photo is a 10 round rotary magazine that sits just behind the pressure gauge at the top of the stock.
While Crossman does offer two projectiles at the moment, I have been told that many existing .357 projectiles can be used as long as they comply to the length restrictions of the magazine.
These Ballistic tip 357s are producd by Nosler and weigh 145 grains. On a full air charge they move out at 800FPS. This takes us to 38 Special power levels
I photographed the .25 magazine since it had a clear backplate, the 357s did not. This shows how each projectile is protected from deformation while in the mag.
My first shot missed the spinner at the end of the range. You will see the second shot take out the middle square target. Holding low, shot 3 sent the spinner wildly spinning.
I had just shot the spinner with one of the .25 caliber rifles and it rotated about 1/8 of a turn. As you can see in the clip, the 357 had it spin about a dozen times. HUGE power difference
