LOL yeah I might have had that quote wrong. I wrote that message this morning while I was donating plasma.

I will have my kid watch it tonight in the mini van as we go to St. Cloud for Thanksgiving. I think I had the quote right. If I remember right it is the part where the witch writes "SURRENDER DOROTHY" in the air with smoke from her broomstick and then the people of OZ are scared. Two different people make comments: One says "The wizard will tell us" and the other says "go ask the wizard"...or something like that....LOL Actually the first part might be "The wizard will explain".....hell that movie used to be a family event when it was on public TV on movie night we used to watch it since we didn't have cable. We never missed it!!! :D

DOROTHY

TIN MAN
Can't that female take no for an answer?

DOROTHY
Oh --

CUE VOICE
S-u-r-r-e-n-d-e-r- Dorothy or die! W. W. W.

CS -- Two Oz women looking up to sky --

OZ WOMAN

Good call. I had forgotten what this thread was actually about to be honest. Hopefully the "Wizard" doesn't get mad when he reads this! :P OK I am done. Sorry I just had to.

About that script: a bad habit of mine. Once I get it in my mind to do something or find something out, I get tunnel vision, scrap everything else, and I do not quit until I either have the answer or finish the task. It drives my wife nuts!

I'm with Levi - keep the comments coming on the 243. I shoot one for deer and yotes. Currently I do not reload but I shoot 95 grain Fusions in mine for both animals and it puts the deer down great. Saving fur is so-so with them but managable with some sewing!

I been there tryed most of it. .17 to 25-06. splat bullets to barnes x.the Last two years 3 of us have stuck with and love 85 grain sierra gameking 41.5 grains H414. Just mess with the seating depth to see what your rifle likes for depth. I get 3150 fps over a chrono. we use the same load for mule deer. As far as coyote go small hole good kill.
