I don't see where any testing or reviews have been done yet...more like some off the cuff random postings of initial thoughts and findings. I'm not sure if the parameters of the test/comparison have even been established yet. ?

Grouse, I too would like to see all the guns remain and be compared equally and honestly. Would be good info for all of us I think.

The bottom line is, some folks are going to like what they like...regardless. You couldn't get them to change or think differently. Its no different here than with other things.

In my business I can show my clients how to get a tax free rate of return on their money of 4-5% long term - with no risk...that is proven and backed up in black and white. Yet some folks are so ingrained in their current though processes and beliefs on how to grow and protect their wealth, they aren't open minded to thinking outside of what they "know". Since they don't know how to do it, they can't understand how that could happen...so therefore it must not be true.

Its no different than here. We all have our favorites brands or guns based on what we know and have experience with. Doesn't mean there can't be other things that are good or maybe better. And just because I may not agree with or like the findings doesn't make them not true. This goes for me too, here and in the world outside Muzzleloading...I learn new stuff all the time that makes what I thought to be gospel, obsolete.
