Only the older lead ones... the spent steel shells aren't nearly as good.

It seems to depend on the brand. Some really smell bad, others are not too bad at all.

Give me a low brass 2 3/4" winchester lead anyday... AA's are the best...

Brett brought it up, and I'll go with it - happiness is a warm gun.

She's not a girl who misses much... and when I feel my finger on your trigger...

Happiness? Apart from my children and being employed? Carrying a 30-30 in the woods, that's happiness.

"Happiness is The smell of cordite and diesel in the morning" . A quote used by Russia's past president Putin that came from a British military officer. eddie

Kudos to Yellowtail. I wondered if anyone would catch the reference to the Beatles' song.

Loved that line.....I believe it was Robert Duvall in Apocolypse Now

Personally I love the smell that's left in the air after a full belt of 7.62 NATO goes through an M60...

You're all messed up!
Happiness is having a healthy, loving family, friends and a good relationship with GOD.
The rest of what you say are pleasures!
Being alive, being out amongst all of Mother Natures greatness.
A cool crisp morning, a warm summer day, the snow & rain, hunting (either alone or with someone), a warm meal with family or friends, a roof over ones head, but most of all, FREEDOM to do as we please in a land that still allows us to!!!

After that, not much else matters.

Longtom:

I'm going to copy that onto some nice paper, frame it, and hang it up on the wall where I'll see it every day. That's a beautiful thought.

Early morning in the forest, the clack of the flintlock dropping, the smell of holy black hanging on the mist

Everyone who said something about shotgun shells missed a couple points... Oh yeah they smell good but sometimes they smell better!

A cold frosty late November morning... Three pointers locked up on a covey of bobwhite is southern Oklahoma on the banks of the Red River... That's when they smell best! When you have a couple of plump quail in your bag and a still warm hull wafting it's scent under your nose...

Happiness is waking up in the morning. Been doing it for 74 years and still enjoy it. Nothing else matters.
