My friend is taking this pretty hard because he talked the kid into buying a Marlin 45-70. and told him to try some light loads to get used to it.

However, he did tell him to be very careful while loading. And to pay attention to the manual. Typical young guy thinking he knows more than us old farts. Live and learn, the hard way.

Kind of like my dad telling me what to expect if I was ever in combat. It took me about 10 seconds to realize he knew what he was talking about. Funny how the older I got, the smarter he became.
