[QUOTE="Ckgworks, post: 2161570, member: 105102"] Lots of new shooters......everywhere. I got an email from a site asking if I could answer a question about a product I had purchased.......45 gr Barnes tsx. The potential buyer asked if these could be fired in a high standard pistol that normally shot 22 cal shorts.......I don't even know where to start with that. We who have been around firearms our whole lives can make dangerous assumptions about what others know. It's hard to believe someone out there has a pistol that doesn't know 22 rimfire from reloading components......what "bullets" really are. When the 6mm creedmor came out, I helped a guy chronograph his rifle. He shot once, reading was way off, he shot again, way off. I stopped him, went through my chronograph, than his rifle. Seeing nothing wrong, I glanced at his ammo. He had bought 6mm instead of 6.5 Creedmoor. He thought Creedmoor was Creedmoor and didn't even look at the number. We all can make mistakes, and as no one is hurt, and as long as we can learn from them, and help others learn from them at the end of the day it's a step forward. [/QUOTE]
