Re: Campsite Cooking
It appears that Vienna Hot Giardiniera peppers might be hotter than just Jalapenos 20000 - 30000 from what I can gather here on the net quickly. I just bought a case of these jars. They are a staple at my house. We have not tried much other than Jalapenos and Cayenne peppers in the garden so far.

It would be personalized....I will have to look into it. The problem is that this is turning into having fun instead of focusing on light weight.

I don't mind shooting a 250 grain bullet, but I want it in a .338 for a sd of .313. The 250 in .366 is an sd of .267 which is comparable to a 175 grain in 30 caliber, not my idea of an elk round, although I am sure many here routinely do it with less. I also like traditional bullet weights for calib...
