I asked my father how to calculate how much pressure a handi rifle can take with 45/70 handloads...

I asked my father how he knows that thin wall barrel steel stress: S= [inside diameter][pressure]/4 [wall thickness]


And then my father screamed at me, "BY INSPECTION!"

He was disappointed I didn't just see that.

There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self. -Ernest Hemingway
