This whole thing started when you made the inflated statement that:
Now a shockwave with a 130 or 150 grains of pellets in a fast twist inline, definitely a formidable weapon, IMHO, superior to say a 30-30 centerfire rifle.
Yes that's how the whole thing started.And I can'tseewhat way Ihavenot shown that that an inline so equipped isn't superior to the best 30-30 factory ammo that can be purchased.
As to B.C., I'll not argue whether Speer's B.C. is inflated, I'll simply give you that. For my part, I am familiar with flat nosed bullets of the same weight having VASTLY inferior BCwhich I think likely are likely to show up in the ammunition I have bought and definitely in that I havereloaded with. I gave you the link. Even so, its makes little difference. What particularlyparsed me was that you didn't usethe load
YOUpersonally hunt within the comparison. I would at least expect that. A person wanting to show how his load compared to a 30-30 would have done that.
As for whether Leverevolution ammo can be bought for $12. All I can say is congratulations. I can't buy for that price. My walmart doesn't have it and Cabela's wants almost $19 a box for it. Which makes sense, considering that it generally takes more than $12 to buy a box of 15 SST's.
I don't mind if you hunt with an inline. I don't care if you use sabots, 100 grains of 777 or 3 pyro-pellets. Whatever is legal is fine with me. I don't mind if you lobby your officials andto discuss alternatives as to what is legal.
It seems everytime weturn around there is new post on how ingenuine theState of Idahowas in the new regulations. It usually involves an exageration of frontier rifle technology, like in this thread.
When we aren't talking about inlines in Idahowe are writing about how a 209 ignited inline can be left outside in the elements all dayand be brought in each night and be found to "fire flawlessly" and "right where it should"at the end of week of this, or that one "wouldn't hesitate" to take a 200 yard shot, 3" groups at 200 yards, and dinging gongs at250. But when Idaho says, "that's more capability than we want you to have in ML season",some raise there arms in protest saying "it just ain't true." I don't see any semblance of sincere and honest dialogue in it.Instead its justmaligning of the game officials and the folks who belong to your state's muzzleloading association. It not just that I think this talk is wrong, friend, I know it its wrong.
