The things gun companies let slip through their fingers.

Or just won't come out with....

:roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

Here is my wish list:

How about Winchester making a 25WSM & 35WSM, not that piddly Super Short stuff.

How about Ruger actually getting the Gold Label into dealers hands before designing a new round (204 Ruger) that is a solution to a non-existant problem.

How about Marlin bringing back the Camp Carbine.

Or from way out in left field, Taurus or Ruger making double action revolver in 22/22mag conversion. maybe even sell it with interchangeable barrels like Dan Wesson. Switch barrels from 22 to 17. I would buy that.

How about Savage making their 22 heavy barrel bolt gun with a good set of target sights instead of just drilled & tapped.

Remington Classic in 30.40 Krag

And please, somebody, ANYBODY chamber a bolt gun in 300 Whisper & 7-30 Waters

Now we will see if anybody listens

any new news on the availability of .40 super brass?

I was chatting at Mike McNett of DoubleTap Ammo the other day about his soon to be released .45Colt offerings and while getting an earfull asked him how he was coming on his plans for 40Super and 450SMC. He paused just briefly to say he'd placed an order for .40 Super brass and then dove back into the .45Colt subject. He says he'll have the .45Colt listed on his website, http://doubletapammo.com , by early August if not sooner.

Well, this .40 super sounds neat. What kind of velocities have yall got with the .40 super and the heavier bullets, like the 180 or 200 gr loads? What is .450 SMC? Also, which parts have to be changed on a 1911 to shoot .45 super? Thanks for the info.

I don't shoot the 180's or 200's but as I recall they both are supersonic out of the 40Super.

Nowlin Guns will modify your 1911 .45 to handle 40Super: http://www.nowlinguns.com/merchant2/merchant.mv

LoneWolf Distributing sells 40Super supplies. The website has a search function which will produce a list of all their 40Super goodies if you type 40 Super into the blank: http://www.lonewolfdist.com

Here's a couple items Lonewolf sells:
http://www.lonewolfdist.com/stockdetail ... =SPR-16674
http://www.lonewolfdist.com/stockdetail ... -40SP155HP

Starline sells brass: http://www.starlinebrass.com/pricelist.html

The SMC in 450SMC means Small Magnum Cartridge. The brass is similar in design to 40Super except it uses bullets made for 45ACP and will chamber in a standard .45 Pistols. Rumor has it DoubleTapAmmo may be adding both 40Super and 450SMC to its product line-up. http://www.doubletapammo.com/php/catalog/index.php

If you buy into 40Super and want to handload, use 400Corbon as a starting point. I found that load data in the Accurate Arms guide: http://www.accuratepowder.com/data/PerC ... 40Cal(10mm)/400%20Corbon%20pages%20119%20and%20120%20Handgun.pdf
