Not just self-loathing but projection too William! And you need some fresh material. You were at least entertaining in the past.
Since you appear to also have a deficit in short term memory; 3/4 oz. 16g loads at 5500 psi, through a thin at 16" barrel, where the pressure is less than 1000 psi, covered by a spring steel handguard, is due diligence and care
And your position that, since we can't know everything about a chamber/barrel, we therefore have no obligation to try to know
anything is simply wrong...when we are responsible for what happens when we choose to use a vintage gun...especially a crappy and intrinsically unsafe time bomb L.C. Smith!!
So how did you evaluate your Parkers and Lefevers? This has been great fun William, but I'm sick of the stink and will take a break until the action and barrel reports from METL come in.
