Membership levels are determined by a combination of factors........bore size being weighted heavily and also energy and powder capacity.

No magnums here. Time to upgrade, maybe??

Aside from bore diameter, energy, belts and powder capacity.......there's a whole lot of principile involved here. There's just no place in the OTPG for "light" magnums (a pathetically sad oxymoron if I ever heard one), wannabes or hot cocoa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] Well........... there can be no discipline from within the organization unless you're a member. I guess we just let it ride as magnum envy can cloud an otherwise rational shooter's good judgment and common sense.

You must own and shoot a centerfire, magnum rifle cartridge or cenerfire pistol cartridge .429" or larger.
