Pecan shell replaced Rice

So I have been using really old brown rice I found in back of pantry for some months now. I got some pecan shell from my dad, he has 2 trees. I dumped out the rice and dumped in the pecan shell. I threw my 7mm Mag (loaded) in there and ran 'em for about an hour. Stuff looks great. Better than the rice. It took the Lee lube right off, and this stuff had been on there a few days.

Hey there Right Reverend
I love your humor. I think our trains travel on the same track

This seems a little primitive a more evolved individual would use a rock or club

Considering we appear to have evolved to the firearms stage of the human adventure, I'm thinking at least a hammer is in order by now.
