    Oh, and @Rushy, I ran the 300gr projectiles in the 45/70 over a chrono last week. Seems I underestimated the velocity of my current load a bit, you might want to get a couple of preparatory shoulder massages before heading down
    The shorter, small dia is a #2 musket back powder, the long thin one is a 450/400 nitro
    Boom, cough,cough,cough

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Friday night and Saturday night for me. The shed will be rocking to the dulcet sounds of Rushy at rest.

    Only of the caliber you intend to shoot is inversely proportional to the wimpyness of the car

    And so the tone of the event has been set at weaponised farting.

    It will take me a little longer but if I am there in time then I will pitch in and help.
