Okay, I will admit I am wrong by oversimplifying that thought.
Substitute this, then: maybe it'll help that I'll have 272 @ .050 instead of 290.
Better? Whatever it takes to keep the idea alive laugh

Either way I gotta buy it, try it and see what happens......

When the rockers show up I will order one and find out.
