The cast boolit users call jacketed bullets 'J-words'!!!

Can I have a green one please?

I hearby disclaim that even though I am diabetic you are not responsible should I lapse into a diabetic coma as a result of being given said wine gum.
I have added the disclaimer after a good friend of mine thought it would be OK to bring me 12 extremely jammy and sugar coated jam donuts on Saturday

My brother had good results with Saeco 140 gc in his Mauser 96,using Tecna shotgun powders.If you can find this powder in UK I will ask him for details.Here it used to cost about 35 € for one KG.
