Warthog???

[john boy]

Sgt. Smokepole originated the rank designation

And it was Manatee that originated "WartHog".  Then he & I came up with the Honor Roll that was first started on the defunct Frontier Spot - then carried over to The Open Range

So what is the minimum of holy black necessary in a 44 ELR to achieve the august status, I only ask as there is not an original load to replicate.

When you fill the case up far enough so that seating the bullet allows for 1/16"-1/4" compression you have achieved a couple goals: you have a good BP load and by filling it to its full capacity, and shoot it that way, it constitutes a Warthog load.

No specific amount.  If your gun is a 38 S&W and you load it the same way, that is a full-power load. 

I don't know about the rank structure.  When Manatee and I shot together, I was already a Warthog, (by nature, NOT because of what I heard about) as was he.  But the old Frontier Spot was so long ago that I don't know what you, John Boy & Greg came up with.

BUT it sure goes back a long way ... maybe before he became Manatee.
