    Perfect shot placement, had to have been expansion to cause that much disruption of the heart. I've seen that organ drilled with 50 caliber pure lead 100 grains heavier that didn't come close to such...

    This old barn find is coming along nicely, except the last parts I have to install aren't making sense. The screw bolt that holds the ejector, magazine guide and magazine latch is too long and I...
