You've never heard of .380 ACP?

.380 ACP - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nearly the same diameter as 9mm, but less power. Costs twice as much, though...

A .380 is like a baby nine.

Yeah, don't they use the same slugs?

Kinda like a .40 is a baby 10MM.

That is the most I have hauled and about the worst I will push it, what are you running for weight?

yep, the fact I cant have a 5th wheel is a huge handicap.

I have a pic of the load all hitched up if you want.
had me on the bump stops on the back axle and on both trailer axles.

Unfortunately because you live in the People's Republic of Kalifornia, you won't likely get the chance...

I don't own many firearms, but two of them are illegal in Kailfornia because they consider them "assault weapons". I happen to like my AK-47, so I think I'll stay out...

I believe anything with a magazine over 10 rounds is illegal, so are .50 BMG rifles, as are "assault weapons" with a removable magazine.

Kalifornia isn't as bad with their gun laws as Illinois or Wisconsin, at least as far as concealed carry. Although, I think every one of the cases that came with my guns has a big sticker on them that says, "ILLEGAL IN CALIFORNIA".

What exactly is an assault weapon anyway? Is it a gun that a pansy would consider "scary looking"?

Yes, I know what it is. I just questioned it in relation to the 7.3. Seemed like the .38 was more appropriate...like, .357= V10. .38=7.3.

Come to think about it, wouldn't the 460 be more like the .45? Old, slow, and big. Not much power, but everyone loves to talk about how great it is...

I don't like the .45s much at all. Slow round, not much energy, and large enough to limit magazine capacity to the point where the other guy with the 9mm has twice the ammo and a HUGE advantage.

hey now, lets not be talking bad about the 7.5 . as far as power goes it's on par with the 3v v10 from idle to 3k rpm. at 2k rpm(60 mph cruising rpm) it's only about 3 hp and 10 tq behind it. above 3k rpm it has a HUGE drop off in power because of the heads. by 4k rpm it's dropped off to 245 hp and 300 tq while the v10 is still close to 312 hp and 410 tq. put a decent set of heads on the 460 and it'll run right with the v10. the only thing i don't like about the 460 is that you have to measure your gas mileage in gallons per mile instead of miles per gallon lol.
