Default Today's Lesson

Just had a not so good feeling. I was standing down by the lake just a few minutes ago and up came a muskrat. The only gun I had on me was my daily carry 10mm razorback. So I unskinned it pulled up to shoot and all I heard was click. That was dead silence for me. I was like really that didn't just happen. But in fact it did just happen. I am just thankful I found it out before it was a life or death situation. So the lesson is guys. Rotate your ammo. This was factory Hornady 180 grain xtp's. My second shot once I cleared the bad round went bang. The primer of the first one did have a good strike on the primer it just never ignited.

The biggest pain in the a** you'll probably ever have to deal with watches you from the mirror every morning.

Good judgment comes from experience, and most of that comes from bad judgment.

If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop digging.
