    Head0001

    I regret having to report that member HEAD0001 has left us. He was found dead in his home last Wed. by his mother. Tom was only 53yrs old and spent his entire working life as a sales rep for a major outdoor distributor. Casting boolits was a passion of his and his shop would make most of us green with envy. The gun world has lost a major personality as he was an influential man in the business. Tom had been teaching two young boys 7 and 9yrs old the ins and outs of our lifestyle this year and had gotten the boys to harvest thier first squirrels recently. He was a major player at the wvsportsmen.net site and we are shocked at our loss. Prayers go out to the family and his little hunting buddys.

    Gosh darn, that is a shame. Way too young. My sympathies to the family.
    The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

    Forget everything you know about loading jacketed bullets. This is a whole new ball game!

    Two years older than me! Gulp! Prayers to family and friends. I hope somebody takes over the education of his little friends!

    "THESE are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph."
