[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1427424, member: 12995"] They hungout in gun stores and at shooting ranges and hunting camps... But even then you got to learn to weed through the ********, because just like with fisherman (I love fishing), you get those same "fish tales" (I used to work at a gun store)... "I swear that buck was THIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIS big!" And in reality, it was a only a 6-point that barely broke triple-digits live-weight and shot at less than 100 yards. But in the story it was a monster, and it was 500 yards away and was a bang-flop shot with a 55 grain bullet from a .22-250. ;) Forums like this, where the folks are honest and helpful, are very rare, but worth their weight in gold. Most folks on here are here to help others, or to learn themselves, and nobody here has time to BS anyone else...Unless they're a troll (which is rare here). Forums like this can be the most useful tool on earth, or, if you choose to keep listening to Billy Badass Wannabe at the gun store, you might keep barely making 1 MOA loads, and you keep trying powder after powder and bullet after bullet, because he gets paid commission to move product. I can't speak for everyone here, but some of us here are self-taught (like me), and learned so much from the fine folks on this forum, that we choose to give back as our way of "paying it forward" to others in need.
