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.

Saw a dead wood chuck on the highway today. Which brings the question, how much wood could a woodchuck chuck if that woodchuck was a half inch thick on US-41?
Some where between here and there.....
Would think that whatever flattened the woodchuck, chucked it's last piece of wood for it.
Those who fail to study history are doomed to repeat it.

The woodchuck would look like the flank steak a la cart on a wood fire would.
Flatter critter's can't chuck, but sometimes they can fly.?
Yep, easier to chuck 'em when they're flat.
Sorta like throwing cow pies.
Gee post #888 do I get something for that?

The more sun drying the better they fly.

A 1/2 inch thick chuch would be a sail chuck. You can sail it like a frisbee.
Cow paddies will sail quite well too if you separate the patties while they are green and let then dry .

Just told the wife to go out to the pasture. She's pulling posts and picking up other items for sale or trade. Get it? Sail or trade?
