Yeah...way back in school, if you happened to miss the physics discussion about "every action has an equal and opposite reaction"..

Some topics seem to be recycled forever, ever notice that? Thomas Page said this 244 years ago:

"and when they find they can't kill often, think they don't put shot enough, and so put in more, and are obliged to lessen the quantity of powder to prevent its recoiling; not considering this axiom, "that action and re-action are equal''-that upon discharge of powder the gun is forced back, as the shot is forwards, in proportion to the weight of shot to the weight of the gun. . . ."

One could be excused for feeling all our learned discussions wind up teaching us very little. Of course, the silver lining to that is that, like we old men who tell the same tale over and over again, we will never run out of things to talk about. :haha:

My friend and neighbor had a .58 caliber plains rifle which was an excellent whitetail gun. He let me shoot it a lot, and it was a very accurate, fun gun. At one spot on our range in the late afternoon sun you could easily see that big ball arc to the target. It shot .570 balls, but I don't remember the barrel, so that means not much. I still have a full box of .570 Hornady swaged balls for his gun, price tag says $4.75, so it was a while ago.
