LOMAO...this actually happened....
Back during our military years;
We had just arrived back to Ft Bragg, NC the night before.

At breakfast the next morning we were doing our normal routine, when we over heard a couple of other nearby soldiers talking about what they had heard...at first we thought it was just another "rumor has it" BS. From time to time we'd catch bits and pieces of their conversations and soon realized they were talking about us.

Well..."X" being the fellow he is....looked over at them and asked where [they] heard that and who are these guys you're talking about...wanting to hear more "X" kept asking these soldiers questions and this one soldier at the other table just kept adding BS to the BS tales he was telling.

Well as these other soldiers were leaving, a soldier who actually knew us called out by name 2 of our group's names and were need "upstairs", referring wanted up at headquarters.

The astonished, embarrassed, shocked, however you want to describe the gastly look on the tall tale telling soldier's face was priceless, as he just realized we were the soldiers he was talking about.

We LOFAO all day....We were all 6 feet 6 inches tall, 200 pounds, bulletproof superheroes and we didn't even know it. LOL

The truth is:
Only 2 of our team are 6 feet 2 inches tall, one is 5 feet 7 inches tall, the rest of us are, +/- an inch, 5 feet 10 inches tall. We weren't bulletproof, we just kept agile and by the grace of GOD, Guardian Angels, prayers and hopes, that bullets wouldn't hit us. Only three members came close to being at or just shy of 200 pounds. The rest of us weighted between 150 to ~175 pounds. And even though his tall tales were somewhat wildly exaggerated, there was some truth in some of them.

Morning Rob, Any feeling for how the 300 H&H shoots? How's the barrel condition?

Hello. I see you hunted with Sampie recently. If you don't mind me asking, where did you hunt with him? Zim or SA? And was it with a bow? What did you hunt?

I am possibly going to book with him soon.
Currently doing a load development on a .404 Jeffrey... it's always surprising to load .423 caliber bullets into a .404 caliber rifle. But we love it when we get 400 Gr North Fork SS bullets to 2300 FPS, those should hammer down on buffalo. Next up are the Cutting Edge solids and then Raptors... load 200 rounds of ammo for the customer and on to the next gun!
