John, you're being kind of literal......

I don't "extensively" use any my dialing scopes, and not sure what you mean by up and down. I change loads and adjust for wind left and right often enough, too

You may not be aware but most of the various steels start out with pig iron. Can you tell us what materials are used in 20 oz + dialing rifle scopes to make them that heavy?





I've made my living with steel for 48 years and have no idea what "pig iron" is. I suspect it is a slang term.


I worked in iron ore mining for few years. Pig iron is the first step in iron ore smelting. It's not used as a product for building anything, but rather as a feed stock for further processing.
