    Another of our finest has left the field

    Rasberry Phillips, a relative by marriage, was laid to rest today. Mr. Phillips was a veteran of the 101st who road a glider into Normandy on 6 June 1944. He fought in some of the worst combat of WW2 and helped forge the legend of the 101st. Everafter he counted every day he lived a gift and lived accordingly. He will be greatly missed by all who were blessed to know him.

    My condolences, and thanks for his service.
    The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

    Forget everything you know about loading jacketed bullets. This is a whole new ball game!
