Pack it around a while it will be a one-ton.
FWIW, the dynamite shoots that I know of are right on the Colorado-Utah Border in Grand Junction, CO. They put a bunch of targets up with TNT rigged to them (maybe even dynamite) and shoot at them until they blow up. It takes some money to buy in but they pay that back by twice I understand. It's a lot of fun when someone hits one.
I also understand they started holding them in Montana, over on the West side, somewhere out of Missoula.

Jeez... where's my manners. Really nice rifle there Butcher307! It took me a long time but I've come back around to being a fan of the .243 again. With that twist you can push all the heavy bullets. And, if all you want to do one day is shoot varmints they will stabilize 55-75 gr'ers. as well. Trick with those (in that tighter twist) is not to push them so hard. Helps with barrel life too. You don't want to shoot out a great long range barrel poking PD's at 2-400 yds.
