The 45/70 is loaded lite. My lever gun has less recoil than a .223.

Now the 500 Mag will try to rip your thumb clean off your hand.

500 Mag with 700 grain wadcutter at 1200 FPS in a 8" pistol has the same muzzle energy as a 375 H&H Magnum African safari rifle.

Scruff, you should set up a "Want to Buy Ammo" table in Wilkinsburg!

Or... you can stop at pretty much anywhere that sells ammo and get 30-30 ammo.

Yeah, nope. Probably not. The other ones though. Maybe.

Well, I AM going to be passing Field & Stream... :p

I've never tried to buy ammo at Walmart at 8:00 AM. Is it hard to find help then?

I never go to Walmart with the expectation of finding someone staffing the sporting goods counter.

10.5" upper still hasn't shown up, and with the rain thinking a blackpowder day is questionable.

I know I'll be showing with a wood Tac14, but still thinking about what else needs to be shot - just got in from getting rained on; truck decided to spring an exhaust leak in the way home and needed to get it closed up before thinking about tomorrow.

Childs play. Maybe I'll bring the .458 Lott out and see how many retinas we can detach. Good times!
