    LOL! I agree but, seeing as she just bought it for me as a surprise, I'll be using it for the foreseeable future. I think what the issue is is that mentally if one sees burner knobs down at their lowest, one thinks, "Well, what else is there that I can do?" Since chicken thighs and such don't...

    For true painful pleasure, I always turn to .10 gauge slugs. 437 grains to an ounce, so.... We get 437g/ ounce X 1 3/4 ounces = 764 grains.... Those bad boys will take down anything in the hemisphere.

    As a fellow lever-gun and, especially, Marlin enthusiast, I'm a bit sad that all those great new loads that Marlin came out with a few years back didn't take. .450 Marlin forever.

    Completely and utterly depends on how you load it and, frankly, how you hold it. But, yeah, a Gov't can give a bit of a whomp. 7mm Mag is worse, frankly.

    Well, a lot closer to family in Carmel and Merced, where my family has a cattle/walnut/corn/etc... operation. The heat sucks so far (and, damn, the weeds out here in the valley) but it's almost like a small town out here, where even at 70,000 a LOT of people know each other. Salute!

    And my wife is in the wine business, so grilling up here is going to be heaven. And, no, I don't prefer Zin with BBQ or ribs ;-) Originally from Big Sur/Carmel area. Looking forward to being so close to the moutains for wild game. Dedicated follower of the incredible Mr. Hank Shaw who, if...
