Lead hardness needs to be related to pressure/velocity of loads. The higher the pressure, the harder lead should be. For cowboy shooting type loads softer bullets as specified by OLG are the way to go. Bullets that are too hard don't obturate (fill the bore) well and tend to lead the forcing cone area.

I'm gonna call a second miss on this one. The rifle kd wasn't there because the shooter knocked it down when he shot the wrong target. Therefore the "missing" target was caused by the shooters own actions. There was no target failure. And yes, self inflicted wounds are the most painful.

The whippings will continue until morale improves.

Look into Coon Creek outfitters. They should be able to supply everything you need.

I live about 10 minutes from Magma and I will be at Winter Range working in the stat house. Let me know what you need and we'll make it happen.

Burris builds some very clear scopes at very reasonable prices.

Texas John Slaughter made 'em do what they oughter, 'cause if they didn't they died.
