It it is more of the observation of 51.99 for a refill tank, (and I do have two of them,) vs 15 for a gallon of Coleman fuel. A gallon of Coleman fuel lasts a...

Ok, what about Naphtha?
1) how will it run?
2) where can you get it?

What is a good velocity for a "WQ WW 358009 / 3589" bullet for large game?

I don't plan on using a HP for elk. The HP's do well on the deer and pigs down here in Texas. LOL
