Re: He screamed for help....but lived in Italy....
Texas shut down its border to just the official sites over a year ago. Drops in crime rate were felt all over the State. As we are a 2nd Amendment friendly State, this situation would not occur anywhere other than Austin. In the area where I live, the situation from Italy would not happen.

Re: reduced loads for hunting deer
I loaded down a few 30-06 for pillher several years ago. I stuffed a ball of tightly rolled dacron on top of the powder to hold it in place. It was milder than her 3030. Accuracy was nice. Shooting at 100 yards, it grouped 5 in a circle that were all touching, but 1/2 inch lower than it grouped with...

32 Special was mentioned. It is another good old round. Yes, a modern rifle in good shape for the 32 Ws, or the 38-55 would still work just as well as always. Moderate speed cartridges are not what the manufacturers have been pushing for a long time.
