    augercreek,

    My prayers have gone out. I was stunned to see how quickly the bridge fell. With all the ship traffic, why were there NO Pilings to divert any ship from hitting the bridge supports?...

    Many folks shoot ramrods Downrange! Just keep your head in the game and it will not happen. I never shot a ramrod down range. Whatever?

    Where is any Holy Week Message?

    As a Seminarian, I check into this site often and am sad there is no Holy Week Thread. I will do a church service his Friday. I am sad to see nothing about Holy Week here. Why?
    Be well.

    redriver,

    Great Question! Perhaps you should ask the maker of your firearm such questions. I cannot know all the parameters around your gun and ammo. Sorry.

    Wayne,

    Thank you for the update. Either way, I think the Swiss had the right rifles. In 1961 I bought an M1889 rifle for $13.99 at the local gun shop; I was 16 years old. I could only afford two...
