Default A Little Humor

Hey Guy's, with all the debate yesterday about traditionalvs in-lines I hear that the sattelite that was shot down last nite, was shot down with a .530 PB using 110 grains of pyrodex RS powder from a 1-60 Twist traditional Rifle.The shot was accurate and did the job. After all that debate yesterday I thought a little humor would be appropriate. Really their is nothing like a good debate, just ask Hillary and Abama.

Sure DCH,it was accurate and did the job. But I heard the PB did not exit and they had a hard time tracking it after the shot. You just can't trust those PBs - need an exit wound.

But did they use a flinter or a percussion? I wonder what the lead was at that distance at a target going about 25,000 mph. It was probably over China when they dropped the hammer.

They should have tried to drop it over N. Korea!

Naaa-they used a PA Pellet Flintlock 150gr 777 and 200 gr SW. Had to get the velocity and still remain traditional.

You cant use 150 grains with a 200 grain SW! It'll blow up!

They probably didn't read the PB thread and pushed it too hard!
