I went to my favorite local gun store today, to buy a new cleaning rag. While there I did as normal, checked out a few guns. I am not quite sure how it happened, but some how, a new Sig Sauer P238 followed me home! SWEET little piece. Light weight, small, VERY easy to carry. I was going to...

Why would people want to put vinegar on ice cream? Would that not curdle it? It curdles milk. I am a bit lost on this one. Can some of you chef types explain this so I can understand it?

I am looking at upgrading the shotgun slugs that I hunt with. I can get some long shots where I hunt an my current slug is not up to the task. I am thinking of going to the Hornady SST slug. The muzzle velocity is 2000fps and the trajectory curve looks very good. Has anyone tried these...
