Good info Scott, Over on Marshal's BTB forum there was a long-running deep dive trying to understand the difference between your 520 load and the 420 load.

Your microwave is a Faraday cage, you can get more stuff in it when the EMP comes.

I thought you were suggesting a heat-treat...

Good one Jim. It works the other way too. Load 45/70 for a while and 357 seems small and 25-20 is too little for any possible application.

I agree, the flat points have never done that in my experience. They will blow up a heart like a pin pricked balloon if it's full of blood.

think the bow and arrow are a bit more complicated than the atlatl and the atlatl is so much larger than the bow/arrow, unless you talk of english longbows.

I always thought that the "hunting scenes" in museums based on anthro-ignorance was suspect. I even went so far as to point out, from a hunter perspective, what was wrong with the expert's diorama, to no avail... Turns out that an atlatl will put a clovis point clean through a bison. "...
