can someone clarify some basic ballistics to me about cartridges

Um.. call me crazy but the bowling pins I've shot and knocked down, didn't need a f**king magnum to do so. I've knocked plenty of bowling pins and steel IPSC targets down with a .22lr pistol.

To me, .357 mag is overkill. It's like the idiots who show up with a 12 gauge to the bowling pin shoots... fack.

What I like about .357 magnum.. it's an exciting round to shoot, way more bang than a .45 ACP. Also, I love the ability to shoot .38special through a .357 magnum revolver or lever action rifle if you choose to go that route. My experience firing a Colt Python with .357mag and .38spl is one of my favourite shooting experiences of all time. It sits somewhere between my carbine tactical training course and my day spent shooting with the tactical guys at Peel Regional and making fun of their mascot.

Goodluck killing those pins!

I called some guys today to ask about the pins. The reason they were saying you need the power is that you have to knock the pins completely off the table. like was said in the earlier post. But I've made my mind up and its going to be a .357 for my buy. GOnna start checking some out now lots of nice taurus, S&W and colt out there. I like the old 70's looking ones.
