To the OP, I carry my gunpowder in a powder horn and my .50 calibre roundball in an elkhide pouch on the strap of my possibles bag. In my hand is my trusty Kentucky long rifle. This is when I am in historical re-enactmant mode.

If by cosplay, you mean LARPing, then you are correct 
And yes, there are some really nasty black powder guns being produced nowadays. You are not going to win a revolution with them, but they are damn fun to shoot.

Yeah Slade. I just get annoyed when people make assumptions about our constitution and claim blanket rights. Our constitution is a good thing and it is our principle framework for our freedoms. But a lot of people don't seem to understand that it is the interpretation of it by our law courts that really protects us. Its in those various interpretations where the problems have always been. Perhaps its time we get our legislators to add some Post-It notes to our constitution to clarify some things. But, they would probably screw it up, ha ha.
BTW, have you experienced any problems with primers being a little more unstable and misfiring? A lot of the muzzleloader community have been having some problems with the shelflife of percussion caps. Many think the chemical formulas have been changed.

Bellum,
1) Good luck in getting many helpful responses 
2) I live in Australia, so in short: "lol", at least about whatever advice I could possibly give.
However,
Some of my friends in the U.S. have had good things to say about the Taurus Judge. Obviously this is an entire revolver, not an ammunition choice but I'm just as obviously indicating the flexibility it provides between .45 Colt and .410 shot - one mate in particular just got one this past Christmas for his wife and I am told it is now one of her favorite carry pieces.

I have not had any issues with caps. I was always taught that if your gun was miss firing to make sure that cap was fitting properly. If there was a chemical change I would assume that it would have to be listed in some manner. But I do not follow anything online as it has to do with the black powder community so can not comment firmly.

Good site, ships straight to your door.
I've detected an armed state living in fear.
Heh the only people who should fear an armed state are the violent criminals and the dictator wannabes in the government.
Now as far as my right to own projectile weapons is concerned I'm a simple man when it comes to ammo for my guns. Remington UMC .223 55gr. FMJ for my mini-14 in home defense loadout and when hunting season opens I stick a clip of Winchester Supreme Ballistic Silvertip .223 Remington 55gr. into it with my nice night vision hunting scope mounted on top for those midnight deer hunts. The pistol is for very close range put down power so I use 45 Auto (ACP) 230 gr +P JHP Corbon Ammo in it for mercy killing a wounded deer that I sniped with the rifle but didn't outright kill. I imagine the same ammo will be moar than adaquate for putting down a home invader or a last ditch bid for life if the zombie apocalypse hoards break through the final defenses.

Originally by: Abrazzar Guns for self defense are pretty useless when it is expected that you are armed. You will be the second one to draw, you will be the second one to shoot, you will be the first one to die. Unless you also wear a bulletproof vest (and hat and pants) you are at a severe disadvantage when having to react to a armed assault.

Its not really much different than the ships and modual whingers who can't afford a dramiel and/or got pwnd by one. Simple epeen envy as your large gun and obvious knowledge intimidates them. ffs Irida thinks I am a threat to another country because I own a semi-automatic assault rifle. Wtf am I going to do, invade? Somehow I think airport security might have some issues with that. 
Hrmm thinking about it **** why not. We obviously aggressive and guncrazy americans can all hop into some 4x4s with monster truck tires and float across the atlantic in an epic invasion fleet to pilfer ur beer and womenzez.

Right, because a hidden firearm is so obvious to see by every criminal. Like, they first search the house they plan to break in before breaking in to check if the owner has a firearm. They simply assume you are armed (in a society where a majority is armed, not unreasonable) and act accordingly.
Your logic completely fails in the face of reality. --------

Criminals go after the low risk targets first. Clearly, if removing guns solves the problem then places like Chicago would have the lowest murder rates in the US instead of the highest like they do now?
But I digress. Yet again the anti-gun losers that play Eve have to get into a thread about firearms and whine about how they don't like guns. If you don't like it, don't discuss what the thread is about.
The thread is about high performance ammunition designed for incapacitating and killing people. I'm asking the forum goers what is their brand of choice and why. I'm curious as to what other people like to use. -- Bellum Eternus Inveniam viam aut faciam.

Edited by: Wrayeth on 17/02/2010 09:06:16 I'm afraid I can't say I truly have any ammo designed primarily to kill people. All I've got is a Savage Model 93G(L) bolt-action rifle chambered for .22 WMR (aka .22 magnum) and some CCI Maxi-Mag .22 WMR Total Metal Jacket ammo. Since, so far, all I've used it for is target shooting, I haven't had any need to get hollow points or anything along those lines.
That said, if I manage to get a house like I'm hoping, I'm definitely going to pick up a handgun for home defense, and at that point will look into ammunition designed to shoot other human beings.
All of that said, the firearm I really want to pick up is the Panther LRT-SASS from DPMS. I'd be looking at getting the Armalite version...except that it costs $1000 more and, IIRC, doesn't offer much of a performance boost. Besides, I'm not even sure if I'll be able to scrounge together the money for the DPMS rifle at any point in the near future. -Wrayeth n00b Extraordinaire "Look, pa!

I love the .22 WMR with a 40gr. TMJ for Coyotes. Less pelt damage. -- Bellum Eternus Inveniam viam aut faciam.

Murders per capita:
# 24 United States: 0.042802 per 1,000 people, 65% of homicides committed with firearms
# 40 France: 0.0173272 per 1,000 people
# 46 United Kingdom: 0.0140633 per 1,000 people, 8% of homicides committed with firearms
Wait what? More guns = more murders and gun crime? Just melt all your civvies' guns, introduce firearms restrictions, and boom, no need to carry guns any more. And I wouldn't have to listen to yanks solemnly discussing "home security". Just saying. Flame away

You have to love statistics 
I would think without guns you small, rather homogeneous countries, with relatively little land mass, would be able to control your people a little better. I guess you all are bigger failures then the US 
You throw statistics out there but do not even consider the larger picture and you do not even through up a link to the statistics.

Although I'm not suggesting this is linked to firearms, because that's just silly. Outlawing firearms doesn't remove gun crime, as the whole point of being a criminal is, breaking the law. But it does make it indefinitely harder to do so. American prisons are barbaric.

Did not really fall for it; just countered with additional bait 
Upwards of 25% of the US prison population is incarcerated for non-violent crime offenses which drops that number quit a bit. The differences in incarceration rates is more due to the US not being lenient on criminals. You get rid of 3 strikes your out penalties, incarceration for simple drug possession, and other consensual crimes, and the number will plummet.
More tasty bait
So the incarceration rates is more of a reflection of how different countries deal with recidivism. Which I will admit that the US fails at considering 25%+ of the US prison population is in for non-violent crime.

Another oft overlooked fact of the US prison system is that a fairly good percentage of prisoners are criminal immigrants that other countries dumped on us when we had that disasterous open door policy after WW2. ffs Cuba emptied out its own prisons and mental wards and sent them all over here not to mention various other south american countries that did similar stunts then laughed as their former criminals went right to work undermining our social systems. I am glad they are all rotting in jail regardless if the inmate is some waste of dna from cuba or a waste of homegrown dna as it keeps my streets nice and safe overall. My question to you then Irida is why do your countries let its criminals run free? Just as an example look at Brazil's place on your list. Wow they must be a really crime free and peacful country with such a low instance of incarceration. Bet its all sunshine and rainbows there as a result.

That chart doesn't state there is less crime, but less people incarnated for such crimes. /101.jpg I thought this to be pretty obvious.
Quote: Godber: I'm only in here due to tragic circumstances. Fletch: Which were? Godber: I got caught.
As for 'my countries'. My one actually doesn't just let criminals go free, my families heritage country doesn't even have a government, but of course we're all happy with rainbows in Somalia because nobody is really a criminal.
