savage 340 in 30-30. that particular gun just rang my bell every time i shot it. if i emptied a mag on the bench my nose would be bleeding when done. i always wondered if some how the bore was undersized. i have had probably 10 of the same model and chambering since and none came close to that one. traded it for a lyman tumbler. still have the tumbler 30 years later.
second was a sxs 12 with 3inch mag loads i inadvertently touched off both BBL's at the same time.


the consolidation of the states into one vast republic, sure to be aggressive abroad and despotic at home, will be the certain precursor of that ruin which has overwhelmed all those that have preceded. Robert E Lee
