One more for the record book.

It is so easy to get distracted at the range when people ask question of you and you go back to what you are doing now did I load it or didn't I What I do I tell the person wait a second I have a twisty tie with a loop in it I put it in the barrel then I go to the person and have the conversation when I return to what I was doing I know that I already loaded the rifle if for some reason I forget to do this I have a witness mark on my ram rod. And at my age I go to the garage half way there I ask what am I going here for

My son once shot his rangerod downfield. Bulged his barrel and we had to replace it. Now his rangerod has a plastic coffee can lid on the handle end. It blocks the view of the scope.

Now that seems like a good idea.

Tell him I'm I'm sorry he got hurt, but glad it wasn't worst. Glad I got the solid Brux barrel and I have one loaded right now in my savage. Have been very fortunate to remember when I have a load remaining, but as we get older we never know if I age may cause a lack in memory.

Not mentioned to protect the builder's reputation (since the fault lies with the double loading).
