    I think the goal is gun and ammo sales, not deer being harder to kill or further away. 
    A couple of years ago my nephews wife was bragging to me about the deer she got with her new rifle. I asked what rifle she had. 
    “Oh, it’s a custom built rifle from (who ever the heck). It’s a tack driver .300 Win Mag.”

    I said “How far was the deer out there?”

    ”Oh, maybe 70 yards. That’s about how far it is for all my deer” :blink:
    I said “Holy Sh**! You ever consider a .30-30? It’s a lot cheaper, less recoil and it’ll get the job done at those distances.”

    She made a face and said “Who want to shoot those old things?”

    Yeah, she’s a pinhead…

    I think your sarcasm meter needs adjusted.

  2. I really like my 28's, but it costs almost as much to reload as 12 is to buy new. 20ga if cost is a concern, but I've had no trouble finding 28ga ammo. I have a Browning clays gun and a SKB Turkish made field gun, shot a lot of clays with it before I got the Browning. The SKB is a great "lower cost" gun but still 2-3x more than the Stevens.

    My Mom used to make rhubarb just to eat as a side dish.  IIRC she used abou a 1:1 ratio boiled until it was a mush.

     

    I liked it

    over ice cream, on oatmeal and other cereals, on toast.

    Mine too. We had plants in the back yard, often ate them fresh picked and raw.

    I don't reload, but I'll go out on a limb here and guess that if he doesn't wear gloves during the reloading process, that any fingerprints will remain on the case because he's not going to place loaded ammunition in a tumbler. Just a guess mind you.

    Lots of people tumble after reloading to remove sizing lube.
