>>Drop that squirrel/moose<<
Darn! I thought for just a minute that you were taking out Rocky and Bullwinkle. Say, your real name isn't Boris is it? |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Honest, I didn't write those letters to the editor... But I agree with them. Wasting rounds chasing the center of a target??? Why bother developing a load to shoot a tight group of misses? I see no purpose in that. If you miss what you're aiming at then you missed. What difference does it make that your misses are close together? Isn't the purpose of a gun to put a bullet where you want it? Hasn't the holy grail of shooting always been being able to smack any target in range dead center, no matter what? Drop that squirrel/moose/antelope/assailant with one shot - not "I finally got these two loads perfected; this one shoots six MOA to the left of where I'm aiming and that one shoots four MOA to the right!" Why, if that was our goal we would barely have become fluent in Comanche and Sioux before we had to learn Spanish, and then German and Japanese... (this is really fun Uncle Stu...) |
