hasn't tried hard enough.

I loaded up some light 45 Colts ... the old roundnose 255 gr. Lyman bullet and a real light charge of 700X. I stepped out on the porch in my bare feet and fired one into the wood pile where I had some juniper logs for the fireplace. I hit one in the end-grain, the bullet turned, came back and whacked me right on the end of the big toe. Gave me a nice large blood blister.

The next time I tried something like that I put shoes on first.

An oldie, but not so goodie. - WB, 2018-08-06, 10:24
