    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.

    There is no problem so great, that it cannot be solved by the proper application of high explosives.

    Anyways, it ain't spring coming. It's autumn.

    My redbuds are taking on an encouraging purplish tone, need to hunt up a mesquite tree just to be sure but it looks like spring is coming to my spot on the prairie. Last week I was shoveling snow and ice off the back steps, last night I fired up the BBQ grill (in shirtsleeves!) and had an awesome wild pork loin. Yep, shovel's back in the tool shed.

    Yanks and Pommies, so easily confused. Those of who live on top of the world are waiting for Summer to end.

    Looking forward to taking my sixteen year old grandson to the range to try out his Christmas/birthday (both in December) present. An FN made Mk. 2 Browning Hi-Power. Of course, he can't take possession until he is eighteen. I have been teaching him hand gun safety and to load 9mm. Next is going to be how to cast his own boolits with an H&G six cavity #275 mould.
    How's that hope and change working for you?

    Breathtaking picture! Get's in your blood if you look at it for very long.
    My hope for spring is that the picture in the OP would be a metaphoric expression of the fortunes and blessings on each and every member of this site; their families, careers, endeavors, hopes and dreams.
    2015 will be the greatest year that the cast boolit community has ever experienced if I have anything to do with it!
    I was telling Angie way back in 2013 that 2014 was going to be a real drag, and 2015 was going to be victorious beyond words. I don't think it's just me either. Seems like everyone I know had a hard time in 2014, and has good things happening in 2015.
    I don't know why, but 2015 just feels like a year of "new beginnings" for so many people. I know it is for me, and that beautiful picture pretty much sums it up.
    Precision in the wrong place is only a placebo.
