PMC's "Star Fire" round? I've heard about it, but, never tried it out. Hmmm.... looks like another flavor of 30-30 to try out!

Bucth, chamber it for your first round. Don't load the tube with it.
I shoot them out of my Savage 24V 30-30 over 3" 20ga.
You can chamber it in your Mar. or Win. for your first round.

No, I never post in another form other than johnhoehandle. Nothing makes me ill like someone impersonating somebody else.

There is some youngan that goes by greatgreenjeans, grandpagreenjeans, and whatever else green jeans he knows, that constantly private messages me with wierd questions like, what do you think of crossbows, and then when I ask him his deal, he says I am a butthole. I have a feeling its that kid from wiscounsin that came on here a few months ago saying 7mmMag is best or something stupid like that. I think his name was Adam Murwin or something like that from Janesville, WI.
