    Please review - No Guns Response Letter

    I wouldn't strike the entire first paragraph, But I would move it to the end as a conclusion to the rest of the letter.

    A cartridge/rifle combo that really surprised / impressed you.

    My 338MX. Nice ballistics, shoots subMOA all day, and shoots a 200 gr bullet with a trajectory nearly identical to a 180 gr 30-06 out to 300 yds. All this with the recoil of a 308 Win. This gun make everyone that shoots it bust out into a big grin. My only issue is the fact it's so addictive...

    3" Barrel difference between .357 and .38spl+P

    Go to Ballistics by the inch. Take a look at the results. http://www.ballisticsbytheinch.com/ They used a 125 gr JHP on both the 38 sp and 357 Mag tests. (didn't test +P rounds though) I think the difference for the same bullet was about 300 fps. Also, the 357 will push a 158 gr bullet out the...

    You will see more guns getting turned in on these than in the past as the economy keeps sputtering along. Inherited guns only mean something to an individual if it has memories attached to it.
