I had a 45-70 barrel for my TC and found it hard on my wrist and it was making me start to flinch, so I stopped shooting it before I screwed up my other shooting. It was masterful in both my dad's Trapdoor Springfield, and my converted Siamese Mauser. About like a 30-06 sporter weight.
Same with my 44 Mag in SW 4" M-29. Besides being blasty, a 4" barrel is a serious waste of powder, unless you are trying to illuminate a large area.
I admire your masterful mowing technique wise brothersan.

Mommies know best!
Congratulations on marrying your best friend and ya'lls 31st anniversary.
It took Grayfox and me three tries to realize marrying our best friend was key to staying married, but unlike much older and proper Unca Walt, as a heathen I located "it" at least 12 years before we married, and it is refreshing to note that it hasn't relocated in the 38 years since.
I think the best friend thing is important, because you would never say or do things to a friend, that you might to a lover in a fit of rage and getting married is just the start. A best friend with patience and a good sense of humor improves the odds on the rest.
Happy Weedsday brothers and sisters of the sacred herb! Starting out at 67F and 82% RH, gorgeous with 3 mph wind, and predicted to reach 103F. Cooling the house down with open windows and fans as we speak from a record 102F yesterday, where the house interior reached 84F. Fortunately, we will be back on a cooling trend tomorrow.
The gardens and recently planted Oregon wildflower mix are all doing well except our cat Melissa knocked over one of the Okieweed seedling pots and dumped the contents. I found it too late to save the recent sprout.
More progress on the Medusa project. I now have a testing lab and four different gas distributors signing up to participate, suggesting they are taking us and the problem seriously. I started the ball rolling by ordering the scrubbing cartridges for a test in Tacoma, WA and connected a water wash experimenter in the land of CA, with a local water wash homeboy here in the land of OR to share secret handshakes.
