It's pretty obvious that some members just resent the attention he gets......... which SHOULD be theirs.
One of the ways Larry was helpful was in saving you time - going down some different powder roads, for instance.
me: Thinkin' maybe RL 22 would add more oomph.
Larry : You won't like it in that case... Imr 7828 is where it's at.
Now if I had kept the conversation going by asking,"Why", "how do you know?", "That doesn't make sense" etc.....
AS SO MANY ON HERE ARE PRONE TO DO.... well, yeah, he could get a tad hostile.
I think you missed on that one big time.
No one wants the attention that lil prick gets.
As to powders and such in cases, I don't trust one persons word, especially a mouthy abrasive one, but there is data all over books, internet, callign or emailng the makers of the products and you come to the educated/verified answer instead of listening to one persons thoughts, almost universally much safer and nets as good or better results.
Of course I work for same type, that you don't dare ask him why. I won't be much longer htough, as quickly as I can get out, its not worth having to listen to him anymore than I have to.
Life is MUCH to SHORT to put up with those types, especially when their input is available other ways.
