    From The NYSDEC Website, in terms of what is announced as cancelled:

     

    DEC Announces Rainbow Trout Sampling for Finger Lakes Tributaries Cancelled

    New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) Regional Director Paul D'Amato today announced the cancellation of this year's rainbow trout sampling in Finger Lakes tributaries to reduce the community spread of COVID-19.

    Sampling was scheduled for Thursday, March 19, at Naples Creek in Ontario County, and Friday, March 20, at Cold Brook (Keuka Inlet) in the hamlet of Pleasant Valley, Steuben County.

    .

    Nothing there about cancelling April 1, but it would be logical to help maintain the 6 feet, and keeping us "old farts" at home, where we are recommended (and will likely be mandated) to stay.  Someone who is over 60 and continues to travel freely, and gets the bug, is just as irresponsible as the kids on the beaches of Florida.  So as nice as the weather has been, and as much as I know where there are oodles of fresh and not so fresh chromers, I have hung up the rods as the stream does not flow through my back yard, which is where I am hearing the authorities say I ought to be limiting myself to.   If I have to go out to get a prescription on Tuesday, I'll be out early, same if I decide I have to have dairy and fresh vegetables, but otherwise these old walls are going to get very tiresome before I get to travel again.  The parks are open for the younger set, especially the caregivers tending kids.  Be aware that a lot of them are open but the bathrooms and facilities are locked, so bring your trowel and TP (if you managed to get some before the crowns descended) so you can dig a cat hole if Nature beckons.  I am going to try to get clarification on whether hiking a stream might be allowed even for "the olds," but I may not hear back as all my old friends at MCDPH are up to their earlobes in interviewing possible vectors.  AND A HUGE THANK YOU TO ALL THOSE FOLKS PUTTING IN ALL THAT ADDITIONAL TIME TO PROTECT THE COMMUNITY. 

    The DEC was stocking trout yesterday afternoon on our property across the street from where I work on Edgemere. Normally we get an advanced notification, but not this time.....

    Did anyone else notice what was going on in the world before the outbreak? Protests.  In many countries. The people have had enough. NOW, guess what. No one's protesting anymore. Coincidence?

    I think it may be a little more complicated than that. Just some aspects such as the trajectory coefficient of that particular bullet design, the velocity of the particular projectile at a given distance, the knock down power of that particular projectile at a given distance, and more subjectively how the particular cartridge from a manufacturer fires from your particular firearm (even the same ammo may fire slightly differently in another gun of the same make and model.

    Sk8man is correct - all cartridges are not created equal. Certain guns shoot certain cartridges better.  Sure it takes extra time & money to figure it out, but once you find it's favorite load, you'll be at that weapon's peak performance curve.
