By the way, at my last match I fired the official 1,000th bullet through my brass-framed 1858 Remington NMA. I got distracted by certain other things going on in my life and I neglected to post this message when I got home that day:
THANK YA'LL for all the support, encouragement, tips, warnings, and help you've given me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've really enjoyed myself immensely, and I appreciate all that ya'll here in this forum have contributed to that.
p.s. Rest assured that *every* round I've fired has been Holy Black!
