I never knew folks used that much. Anyone ever used or heard of that heavy a load..?? 150 kicks like a mule.

Make sure and bring plenty of Beer. My luck has been so bad lately, it could be raining pussies and I'd catch one with a dick broke off in it.

Savage came out with one rated for smokeless a number of years back. Now it's off the market, but plenty of folks out there tinkering with using smokeless. Not a good idea.

I would rather be tried by 12, than carried by 6. Famous redneck last words -- Hey y'all watch this... Hold my beer.

You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You're on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the one who'll decide where to go.... (Seuss)
