Re: Killed a tough S.O.B. ...
Thanks for the report Joe. How is that Henry .30-30? The one I handled was very front (barrel) heavy and I'd think it wouldn't be a good walk around gun. I've never used a Partition on a hog but have used a 170gr, .30-30, Winchester, Super X, Power Point with good results. As old as he was, I'd bet ...

Nate, I definitely would be completely against the government regulating ammo, I just think the stores should do it temporarily to give everyone a fair chance at the ammo. Sorry - I just don't agree with you. If a store's policy has ALWAYS been to limit sales of ammo to individuals that's one thing...

Six? Perhaps you need a little more time at the range.
