Wouldn't Reverse Loonyism also include 4x scopes (or factory issued iron sights)? Handloading would be out of the picture, as would bullet selection, unless you could do so by picking the ammo brand. Sounds like my father's rifle...30-06 with a 4x Weaver, shooting factory 180 gr soft points, beat to hell from using it as a crutch and falling on it. Boring, but it usually brought meat home.
