I remember him giving us a problem to solve. If you have a pound of powder which is 7000 grains and each load required 40 grains, how many loads per pound?

we had a teacher at chestermere high , that was a big time hunter and gun nut
he would always bring his latest acquisitions of a new rifle or shotgun
in and call a Cpl of us in at lunch break to show us, we always thought we were in trouble, when he held us back at lunch time, another thing he would out of the blues was show up at the door Friday night to invite us on a duck or pheasant hunt, I still keep in touch with him
