    I walked by my gun closet after reading this thread, and I swear I heard my guns each screaming out in agony.

    I bought a bottle of Hoppes a while back so I'm going the nostalgia route this morning with the cannons (I am now fooling with my brudder-in-laws 7 stw also, which is much nicer since it has a brake) then off to my buddy's house for some long range fun. Got the loads pretty dialed in so only one more 100 yarder. Now its time to play.

    He has "targets" in 100 yd increments to 800 yards. Around these parts long range targets look alot like parts from farm implements. Here's a shot from a couple of days ago at the "head" of the 400 yarder. Guessed the wind a little wrong. those are 300 win mags that fully penetrated the 3/8" plate. I'm shooting 160 accubonds for you nerds.

    The woods are lovely, dark and deep.

    The new Hoppes doesn't smell the same even though it says original formula or something like that. But Butch's Bore Shine smells like Hoppes. I suppose that may be why I like it

    I'm dialed in now
