@blues, oh absolutely. i’ve seen that quote reposted in numerous places—I’m just saying that, of the old loads, that chunky .357 silvertip seemed to hold together well, penetrate, and expand, most of the time. It wasn’t technology, rather, a happy marriage of horspower vs mass. The 145 ST strikes me a bit as the Lamborghini Miura of duty loads; enough ahead of its time to still be a thrilling (if not loud) performer, even if completely superseded by the advancing of technology.
@HCM meet the new gunfight lesson, same as the old gunfight lesson, yes?
