Pictures dont do it justice.Nice work Wyatt! I make primitive fishing and hunting gear using bone and antler. I know how much work went into that.I jus drove de boat today mon! Four trips dodging sandbars and trying to keep the old scow out of the trees.Let me tell you that Americans are fat! I had a load of thirty passengers today that left me with about six inches of freeboard! I had to run from a thunder storm at one point and I had to get about a dozen passengers to shift toward the stern of the boat to adjust the trim. Otherwise when I opened the throttle it just buried the bows under the bow wave. Once I got the bow trimmed up I couldn’t get her to plane out so we just chugged for cover at about ten knots throwing a huge wake. Just ridiculous.

The instructor for the reloading class yesterday at the local range was dying to see the big bore since I told him about it at the meeting on Thursday. He and his wife could not believe the muzzle report (with 16" of silencer) and the sound of the 220 grain HP slug hitting the steel plate. Bobby, the instructor, has been shooting and reloading firearms since the 60's and suggested that the HP slugs might not make it all the way through a deer at 450 FPE and suggested I might be better off with FN slugs, which are a touch more accurate and easier to cast. He said that the reduction in velocity is not significant enough to worry about and that I'm better off with the FN slugs since they will be more likely to give a good pass through. What is the opinion of the forum? Go with HP or FN?
Bought some Pringles at the grocery store after reading the boards here that the lids fit a Crosman tin and avoids the cross-threading problem.Tested... it works !
So if you didn't do anything airgun related what did you do today?Shot my VERY accurate PB... Have mercy on my soul.

I have never hunted large game but find on small game and pests pass through is wasting some of the energy that can stop it DRT.
I knew it was soon as I got "Post"...Editing now Sir.

Sounds airgun related, and for the projectile section, but FN do pack a better punch with a bit of extra weight on target, the flat nose will mushroom almost as good as a HP in pure lead.
"fixed"Thanks Bill.
