Benjammin,

Thanks for taking the time to reply. I agree with you!
I will state that if (i hope never) I had to shoot a human, it would be shooting to "stop the action" that caused me to start firing. I would NEVER shoot to kill.
Good god, I hope I never see a man actually hit with a 12ga. I have seen what the aftereffects of that looks like (first response to a shooting 2 houses down when I was in college) and it was quite unpleasant.
25-06 is a true North American coyboy caliber... Nice.. I find more old timers who are in the know using this cartridge all the time... I ought to look into one of these...
If have time, live in a rural or semi rural area, and have a reloader/friend has reloader, you could run a few hundred a week.
I know IDPA & USPSA is HUGE in Washington... I have been spanked by guys from there before.... Sound like I'd get spanked by your daughter too! I don't play football (anymore) so please don't send her to range... I don't need more emabraressment!
