Geocache Description:

This is the final cache in the Six-Shooter Challenge series.

Note that the coordinates do not point to the cache
Before you can find this cache, you have to find all six bullets ( First, Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth and Sixth ) and collect numbers A..F from them. From the coordinates given above move:

Direction/degrees (true heading, not magnetic): 23 * a + 41 * b + 13 * c + d * e * f
Distance/meters: a * b * c + 37 * d + 54 * e + 71 * f
If direction is greater than 360, subtract 360 degrees so you get a direction between 0 and 359.
If distance is greater than 2000, subtract 2 km so you get a distance between 0 and 1999 meters.

Part of the difficulty rating is based on the fact that you have to find the six bullets first.

Original contents:
A cruise ticket HEL-TAL-HEL
2 sets of spare batteries
2 35 caliber shells (micro containers for your caches)
6 smaller shells from the bullets we fired

During winter, some geocaches might be more difficult to find. They might be buried under snow, container might be frozen to the ground or cliffs could be slippery. Some of the six-shooter series caches are less winter-proof than the rest.
