Jeff Cooper advocated four basic rules of gun safety:
1) All guns are always loaded. Even if they are not, treat them as if they are.
2) Never let the muzzle cover anything you are not willing to destroy.
3) Keep your finger off the trigger till your sights are on the target.
4) Identify your target, and what is behind it.

I would love to see him get through 500 grain bullets over 65 grains of BP. It is fairly punishing. Also have a few 'hot' 475 grain cartridges loaded up.

Well the gun is zeroed tot he 300 grain laod. Had another damn misfire and jammed the bullet in the rifling. Powder all over the place. Seem to have an iffy lot of primers. Same lot that let me down in comp recently.

C'est la vivre. :cheers:
