On this day in 1908
I know many have given up on the Scouting movement thanks to the woke agenda stuff, but I haven't and never will.

Re: Pocket Pistol Ammo
That's a good video Scott. Most of us expect the usual disappointment of velocity failing to meet spec -- and rim lock is a serious issue with .32 ACP that makes paying attention to COAL as it relates to your magazine very important. Still, surprised he shot that well at 40 yards offhand.

The .444 is a fine cartridge. It did suffer from the early 240-grain load being likened to one of the old British express cartridges that sacrificed penetration for velocity. The 1:38 twist rate Marlin used in the beginning didn't help either. They changed to 1:20 sometime around 1998-99, which made...
