Every so often my Brit buddies send me mail that gets me going. From Mr. Free Market:
“Sitting in the BA First Class lounge this afternoon. Guess I’m going to make Greta cry again…”
And from The Englishman:
“I think the menu for a Defender launch event says all I need to know about the target customer…”
(From Kim: No Full English Brekkie, nary a steak pie or sausage roll, and forget about a good bacon butty*. My earlier post about this silly vehicle is quite appropriate, I think. And WTF is a “frittata”?)
From Reader PaulG, who isn’t a Brit but could be:
And so say all of us.
Then Mr. FM gets serious:
The addendum to your post [yesterday] on 6.5mm should be along the lines of this:
6.5 Creed is ballistically better than the Swede but in the real world, not enough.
More critically it fails the “where do I get ammo?” test. Sure sure in the US you have aisles dedicated to Creedmore: not so in the rest of the world.
The first time I went to Africa there were 3 chaps from Texas there. They’d become detached from their ammo — but the real problem was they were all shooting some sort of WSSM & we were in a Safari camp!!!
If the Swede isn’t enough for you, shoot 270. Your PH or stalker will have a box of it in the glove box.
True dat.
