"one never knows when one of these old guns is going to let go...if one must shoot guns with twist steel barrels, then do so only occasionally...and then only use shells loaded with powder the gun was designed for...ie: black powder..."

Regulars here ed understand that you repeat things over and over, "facts" that you must know to be false, simply to draw attention to yourself by prolonging the same threads you initiate...over and over.
And to get a rise from those of us who know what you say is BS.

The problem is that visitors to the site may not know better.
So I'll take the bait and provide you some gratification and entertainment with this...for like the 15th time
