Re: On the 45 Colt (versatility, etc.)

As others have said..."what a collection"!!!

I have spoken to TS a few times while doing my own load development for "spicy" 45 colt and supped up 357s. He was very helpful and willing to chat om the phone for quite a while which surprised me.

Re: speaking of the Bible . . . and Magna Carta

My biggest complaint with modern Bible translations is the removal of most of the supernatural aspects. The people who wrote the Bible thoroughly believed in the supernatural and removing it changes everything
