    I'd rathered to have designed my own hunting cartridge and rifle to use cast, to have shot MOA and dropped game at hundreds of yards. So I did. But that was a long time ago and even here the arts are lost.

    The friend I can't get into reloading asked me if I powder coated my lead bullets to prevent rust.

    Don't be too hard on your friend. PC will prevent oxidation, and most non-bullet casters may not know the difference.

    One time out at our poison ivy farm and tick ranch, I was picking up a bunch of .45ACP brass in the grass.
    My Dad suggested I just get a brass magnet so I wouldn't have to be constantly bending over.

    OK People. Enough of this idle chit-chat.
    This ain't your Grandma's sewing circle.
    EVERYONE!

It's not that animals have developed an immunity to lead... Hunters skills have changed....
    They all stayed in the cities. And, yes, went to the butcher shop.
