lol now Rapier you surely have a point there. testing, thumping, and hotroding rounds CAN be fun, just sometimes unnecessary. Reminds me of the old boy who ramped a 32 S&W up to compete with a factory 357. My question then and now is why not just buy a 357?

popplecop a 350grain hornady bullet would deffinantly be a deer killin dude from a 45-70. I imagine it would teach feral hogs a few manners as well, though I still prefere solids for them.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. - John 3:16 KJV

Then I commended mirth, because a man hath no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry: for that shall abide with him of his labour the days of his life, which God giveth him under the sun. - Ecclesiastes 8:15 KJV

"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004
