Re: OT - Eagle Scout Court of Honor
I was told when we entered our troop that as a dad I should know when to push and when to back off a little bit. But I was advised to see that my son got his Eagle before the fumes got his attention. What fumes asked I??????????????????? Gas fumes or perfume he replyed.

Re: 357 penetration
It sounds like most of us are pretty happy with that little ol 357. When used within reason it is quite a performer, on man and animals. There are times when a "bigger hole" is nice to have along though.

I would go with my 44 and hope to come across a big un. I think my 357 would work, but what's wrong with having a little more than you need. As for the "how big is big enough" thing, I am using these as examples because these are what I own.
