It ain't what you don't know that makes you an idiot...it's what you know for certain, that just ain't so... Most people don't want to believe the truth~they want the truth to be what they believe. Stupidity has no average...

Planning on Big Game and 120 BT's. Can't get any BG right now though. I'll break it in with IMR 4320 until then. I have quite a bit on hand. Have H4895 too, so I may even try that a bit.
