    If any of you make it to Pahrump Nevada, there's a beautiful red cedar cabin near the dirt race track. That cabin was built in west Virginia and then moved to Pahrump by the fiddle playin'est man I've ever met. The owners have sinces past away but it sure was a pleasure to know them.

    Muzzle velocity Hawken vs Longrifle

    There's a great book by Harold Vaughn titled "rifle accuracy facts" that explains many of the mysteries in detail. Vaughn was a scientist at NASA and had strain gauges set up everywhere and measured everything in incredible detail.

    Powder RE packaging

    Hawken sight screw thread..

    Powder RE packaging

    I wouldn't choose glass for horseback....but it serves me well in my reloading room. I'd be more nervous about static (which I am not) in plastic than glass randomly breaking.

    Please explain. Glass doesn't promote static like plastic can, have I been missing something?
