The current product I manage is used heavily in the oil and fracking industry. Sent several machines to Prudhoe Bay recently. Most are sitting idle now, due to the oil price drop.

Anyway, enough about what "I do for a dollar" these days. I answered the little elf's inquiry about 'what I do'. I'm not sure why it's hard to believe what I do, or have done over my career. Since this is the internet, I could have been an astronaut or brain surgeon. Still wouldn't compare to cutting trees down in the Northwest, I guess. Laffin'.


Moving on:

I'm sure Stick loves this rifle. Wood, and a very slow twist, blued barrel. Probably should install a Super Chicken.

He wouldn't know what to do with that rifle.

I'd put 85 grains of 2F down the pipe followed by a greased patch and .490 180 grain roundball (assuming it's a .50 and not a .54) then I'd ensure there was a sharp English flint clamped in the jaws and I'd fill the pan just under the touchhole with 4F.
