    edit to add ... there's a inside joke i'd be remiss if i didnt share ..
    the deer was my 1999 hunt , well worthy of having mounted , in fact it'd been a shame not to of ( we simply call him " buck " ) when i got it the place i was staying had no place to put it so my friend kept him for me , his wife however kept a dish towel over his eyes because as she said " no matter where i go in this house he's always looking at me " , to me that's a sign of a quality realistic looking mount , somewhere i have a better foto of him with just one set of shades , where it is i have no clue

    Built "Yard Man" about 15 years age, I have had the Saiga 12 about 8 years.
    I do cast the Lee key hole and the Lyman 525 slugs for the S12.

    I know it is not Castboolits or reload room stuff.
    Yard Man is in the yard.
    If you DQ my post it is OK by me. No hard feelings.

    These are directly above my reloading bench. Not shown to the left is a Fredrick Remington "Stampede" print and to the right a Charles Russell "Mad Cow" print. For some reason I like the Confederate paper bills, the produce advertisement and the cow breeds a little better....

    Well, since my art was round in a 3D effect I made one collage. My boolit got a yaw on its jump to the lands. Do what you feel is correct JonB. After a day in the field, casting a few hundred boolits, making a bunch of reloads for 5 shot group 5 individual gr increments for five powders, or a whole day at the range shooting them an ice cold dark bock could hit the spot.
    May you hands be warmed on a frosty day.

    Can it still be art if it is naturally occurring?

    Like two bullets together, one fired and happened to turn at the berm and another impacting it directly and they bond together?

    I keep this one in my reloading room for "looking at".
