    I've read the vaccinations previously given are no longer good because of time. How many years is a vaccination good for? I wonder if the previously vaccinated would be less likely to die of the disease? One poster mentioned taking the pus of an infected individual in the latter stages of the disease and exposing it to a cut on the forearm on a non-infected person for a vaccination. I believe this was done historically but it is still quite possible to die if everything is not just 'right'.

    rates of twist changed twice that I know of. You can probably use heavier than 55 gr,at least 62 nato. One I had would do 1.5 to 2" at 100 yards. Arguably, its action may be more reliable in sand than the AR variants. For most home/ranch defense uses, the more accurate AR would not be missed. The round is more than sufficient, though I prefer the .308 The comment that it goes in like a pencil and exits like an orange is not neccesarily true with mil ammo; it does not tumble until nearly the thickness of a man. Softpoints would be another story. Check for feeding with mags. munk
