Exactly. And not only what you mentioned but all the wars they won in the name of colonialism. 30% of the English language is derived from French because of the Norman conquest of England. And so...

I have a Pedersoli and shoot both BP and smokeless. The barrels are top-notch and when you find the right bullet and load, it is amazing. I only compete in local matches but I like the longer and...
