Too bad there was no moldy cheese to go with it :)
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

When you are not sure how much ammo you have then you are getting close to enough. By the way this works just fine with guns too! Bill :D

:shock: Nah, I was just wondering if 4 crates was excessive or par for the course. In retrospect I guess asking gun guys about ammo stashes is like asking a woman's weight!

I'll go bury mine and shut the heck up! :mrgreen:
OK. You can do that. :lol:

I have a decent amount for my Mosins, but not enough in other calibers. If the current run ever slows down, I'll be making sure I can sit back for the next one.

Slows down? I think it's speeding up, or seems that way whenever I go near the gunshop.
