I, too, was able to suppress the urge but it wasn't ballistics so much 
as it was the credit card company and the checking account.  They said I 
could buy a bore brush if I could get 30 month financing... 

BTW, the 6mm Remington (of which I have a fine example!) will drive a 
100 gr bullet at 3,100 fps* or an 85 gr bullet at 3,470 fps* but to the 
average gopher it makes very little difference!
