    Lost my Dad on Presidents Day

    Lost my Dad on Presidents day
    Served US Army 1943-1945
    Fought in the Phillipines.
    He got to see my M1 carbine set up just the way he carried it during the war.
    His eyes did light up when he held it, unfortunlaty he was never well enough to go to the range with me and shoot it.

    I hope to go to the range and put some rounds downrange in his honor, when things settle down some.

    My condolences. I know he will be missed.
    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!
