    Lion Confrontation

    It's called a rifle. If it If a rifle, which hopefully he shoots better than a handgun, is present, dispatch it. Why pull a pistol? Worse, why video tape it? This could have gone bad, fast.

    Superformance Powder

    I use in my 22-250. You get great velocity and accuracy. It also throws so well I don't weigh those charges.
