Bronko has been telling me for some time to try Pyrodex P in my .45 GM LRH barreled Renegade. Well,Friday afternoon I burned a lot of Pyrodex Pshooting 200 grain .40 caliber XTPs in H4540B sabots. I'd love to post thetargetswithfive-shot groups and velocity readings, but I left the darn things on the bunk in my campwhen I packed up to leave. So, I'll just have to post that report at another time.

In the meantime, I'll leave you with this touching thought.

That poster is the story of my life....

Greetings Semi,

I have pondered those wonderful thoughs myself, many, many times. Just said a different way.

It has been my observation that most men are somewhere between here:


1 Corinthians 7:9(Whole Chapter)
But if they cannot contain themselves, let them marry; for it is better to marry than to burn.
[ol][/ol]


and here:


Malachi 2:15(Whole Chapter)
And did not He make one? Yet had He the residue of the spirit. And why one? That He might seek a godly seed! Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth.


in their relationships with their wife/fairer sex, at least I was.

"As for living with the psycho", the scripture says this:

Proverbs 21:19 (Whole Chapter)
It is better to dwell in the wilderness, than with a contentious and an angry woman.

and this:

Proverbs 27:15 (Whole Chapter)
A continual dripping on a very rainy day and a contentious woman are alike.

So there is a bit of truth in the picture and words, but there is ample evidenced that it is the woman who goes mad for lack of love and the man who has to leave for anger or bitterness--so it seems you wrote of the psycho of men, but it is really the other way around in my experience.

However the bottom line that I have witnessed is this:

Passage John 15:5:
I am the vine;(A) you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that(B) bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.

We all must seek God, because apart from him we cannot know love or live our life in harmony (with anyone). I say this because I've "been there done that" on both sides of the fence. I hope nobody considers this "preaching", it is not, it is just my observation on "life and love", and what I have experiencedand >>>what matters most in this world<<<. We all are Humpty Dumpty's broken in many ways and anyone that has lived with me for 25 years (my 2nd wife) is both a saint and knows howl am broken and still a "worken in progress". Only Christ can mend a broken heart or a broken life. As evidence of that, I ask, do you see many "Amish in dispair" (living alone in a one room shack), when they are old and physically broken down? Nope, the next generation is their social security, and the hope of the life to come as their eternal security. So Semi, I leave you those "touching"thoughts for you to ponder.

Blessing in Christ who perfects our souls and makes use acceptable to the Father, cause we know who we are,
Chap

Well Van - you could at least have told us if it was good or bad?!?!

As for the poster I have another old adage that relates:
A woman marries a man thinking he will change and he doesn't - A man marries a woman hoping she won't change and she does.

It wasn'thorrible, but notgreat either. About three and a half inch groups at 100 yards. I was hoping for better.

Whut da ell!!

Van - 3 1/2" with a renegade at 100 yds. That ain't bad. But just to show you that I wasn't blowing smoke (no pun intended), here is a target my open sighted Renegade 45 GM barrel shot. The top group is with 180 Gr Nosler .40s and 200 gr .40XTPs using 70 gr of Pyro P. Group size C-C is 1.3".
The group in the bull is also at 100 yds but with 80 gr of Pyro P and 200 gr .40 XTP. This groups is also 1.3" C-c if you throw out the 'flier' at 6 oclock in the bull.

Is your barrel stainless or blue? I see GMB has them on sale. I just bought a T/C Hawkins .50 caliber so one of them would fit and I don't have a .45 GMB.

Mine is blue. It was one of those $99 specials.

Dave, I just ordered the blued one in 15/16" in 45 for $95. (about $113 shipped)
They have the stainless for I believe $110.
