Re: Dad
Sorry for your loss. Don't be surprised if you find yourself picking up the phone to call your Dad when something happens that you would normally call him about. It happened to me for a short time and to a couple of friends who lost their Dads.

Re: Brass-cased Shotgun Slug (slug is brass, too...!)
Yep, the rounds in the link do come to about 9-bucks apiece. That's very expensive and so are the Copper Solids I mentioned above. Luckily, I bought a case of the Copper Solids years ago when they were only about $1.25 apiece and I only use them occasionally so I'm good to go probably for my lifetim...

They seem to be saying that it is more of a self defense round than anything and is not suitable for breaching; however, it can be used for hunting. Seems that it would leave a huge wound cavity - the size of a f...

I like to zero a rifle from the bench or a rest; however, once zeroed, I like to shoot off-hand -preferably standing.
