When an Army captain asked him for the direction of the line of retreat, Col Puller called his Tank Commander, gave them the Army position, and ordered: "If they start to pull back from that line, even one foot, I want you to open fire on them."
Turning to the captain, he replied "Does that answer your question?
We're here to fight."

Not unless you have a custom barrel made.

Thats what I was thinking.  It's a nice round to shoot.  But then all of the military rounds tend to be nice to shoot.  The 7x57 is another great round that is overlooked by many.
