[QUOTE="EarlYoung, post: 1369212, member: 102663"] I try to follow that as much as I can, when I can and the amount of misinformation is one of the first things I mention. I never pretend to be an expert but when something I know is false gets presented to me I try to correct it. I think a lot of whether they take the advice or not depends on how you word it (avoid absolutes and explain what they have right), your tone or style of writing needs to be gentle but not condescending, and the evidence you have helps when they see your builds or picture of them (more than one works best). If they're still being hard headed, ask them where their rifle is and they get quiet really fast. Even faster if you offer to go shooting with them. A poster mentioned giving a ballistic chart of 308 against 6.5 creedmor and having that guy still rejecting it, that guy was crazy. [/QUOTE]
