Re: Get a Colonoscopy!

Well I had my first colonoscopy about 4 months ago. Not anything.
So I guess at 67 I am very lucky. I had to drink the 1/2 gallon of juice. I did not think it was too unpleasant.
After the knock out juice I woke up in time for dinner. Had a very good dinner. A piece of cake if you will!!

Re: What are your thoughts on .308 as a hunting caliber?

Remington 742 in 308. Handloads with 44 grains IMR3031 & Speer 150 gr. RN. Not quite as many deer as buckeyeshooter, but all have been one shot kills. 85-180 yards.
I used to call the 742 the meat gun.

A Nam Vet that I used to work with had a Remington RB 45-70 that I cast Lee 405 Gr. bullets for.
It was very accurate at the city dump where we shot it.
He passed away from agent orange at the VA. His half brother has it now?
