Aloysius:

Pleasure to meet you!

I've been trying to get to the range (closest public one for me is down near Fredricksburg) where I can shoot the .500.

PM me your email and maybe you'll be able to tag a long and take a few pops with that monster.

Yep, my old man is getting his .577 from butch sometime after the first of the year. It's "ours" because I'm throwing some money towards it too.

When my old man gets his .577, you'd be more than welcome to come and see the first rounds go down range. I'm letting him shot it first - and I doubt I'll be gawking - probably LMAO instead!

I asked about your name because in the Douglas Preston, Lincoln Child's books (The Relic, Still Life with Crows, Brimstone, etc) the main hero is named Aloysius Pendergast.

Are you going to go to DSC this year? (Dallas Safari Club) There are going to be a lot fo DRs there, including Butch. A lot of guys from AccurateReloading are going and if you want to learn everything there is to know about DRs, that's a good place to start! I'm taking my dad down for the weekend. I believe it is January 27 to 29, 2006.

Send me a PM....
