Laffin' I knew that, I just didn't want to upset his groupies....and his "man harem"..if they lost Little Larry can you 'imagine' the panic that would run thru these 'guys' lives? We'd have slit wrists and drug overdoses all over the place... I mean, if the source of every word they hang their lives on was gone???? ( some more bait there, just to make it all the more obvious for them )

Tricky. 1 in 14s only shoot bullets that bounce off of stuff. I just converted my 1 in 14 223 to a 1 in 8 twist. 75 a-maxs fly pretty well, not quite what a 90 will do but they do make a nice thump on my 600 yard steel. If I do not quit shooting I will never get them loaded, but I was afraid this might happen. I just loaded thirty more when I ran out to the shop to grab a beer and a smoke. Only shot a fifteen round string this time so I am making progress. If the 75s kill mobetta than the 55gr bullets I want to see it.

Perhaps, but they shoot good, and I'll have to admit to him I used H335 behind them- his suggestion. So that'll fuel his fire... Oh, and they kill schitt too.... I forgot that I had a .223 Barrel screwed on when I shot that...Whew! Its a 'tight" 1 in 12!!! "...the left considers you vermin, and they'll kill you given the chance..." Bristoe

What would you have without him? Blue Dot loads... youth loads maybe some more veteran projects via the forum... more intelligent conversations... just to name a few. Oh BTW, caught one so far... 6.5 minutes... but hey its a Sunday...

It still killed schitt, if I used flat-based bullets under 75gr. It shot best with the old 70 SPSX Hornady's, before they quit making them. Fun shooting, it made airtime lots of fun. I think that bullet would open up on prairie dog pelts, it was so fragile. You can roll a turd in peanuts, dip it in chocolate, and it still ain't no damn Baby Ruth.
