I could do that, and in fact I try when I take it to the range, but it
just ....  bothers me.  I want my firearms to shoot where I aim, dammit.

My favorite "attract every shooter at the range" piece is the Mark II*
Martini-Henry.  Last time I took it out to the range, I think I only got
about four rounds off before people started wandering over to "see what
was sending shockwaves down the firing line".

Unfortunately, I only have 35 good cases for it, and right now I can't
find even those.  And although I have the forming dies, I can't get my
hands on the brass to make more.  (I need to start with Bell 3" basic,
.600 Nitro Express, or .577 Nitro Express brass.)  There was a rumor
some years back that Bertram was going to do a run of Martini-Henry
brass, but to the best of my knowledge it never materialized.
