My favorite lube for several years was a mixture of beeswax and black moly grease.

It worked great and left a protective coating on the bore. It was sticky and messy, but I never had any leading issues when I used it.

Smelled like old motor oil when you shot it though.

I don't really see much in the way of investigative journalism, with the exception of Project Veritas.

I don't think that the powers that be want to have anybody looking at their dirty laundry.

Scott Tschirhart

FB and television are two things I have been blissfully ignorant about for many years now.

Scott Tschirhart

I'm going to mention something to all you guys...A marrige license is a THREE party contract, between the Husband, Wife and the STATE! Therefore the STATE has an interest in whatever results from that marrige, INCLUDING CHILDREN! So the bottom line is the STATE can tell the parents how to raise the...

Scott Tschirhart

I'll try this if I ever get back to casting bullets. Sure is a great way to get cheap bullet lube.

I saw Casablanca on the big screen a few weeks ago. After watching it many times on television and I have the DVD, it was a real pleasure and a totally different experience. Great movie.

Miss Kathy and I went through the China virus back in April. I was sicker than a dog, but it was not life-threatening. Fortunately, her symptoms were milder.

El Paso has it bad right now, and across the River in Juarez its a real mess.

Scott Tschirhart

A good friend in El Paso passed today. He had some of the classic co-morbidities and I really thought he would pull through the covid virus. He didn't make it and the world is worse off for it. A fine man from a good family and a good friend to me. But I know where he is and I'll see him again on th...

Welcome back Buck,

I took a long break (several years it seems) from the forums and only recently came back to the fire. I think the break was good for me.

Scott Tschirhart

Buck,

It sounds like you have everything covered!

Scott Tschirhart

I haven't worn a badge in many years at this point, but I still get upset about a fellow officer losing his or her life.

Scott Tschirhart

OUCH!!

Scott Tschirhart

I would like to see that photo Ray.

Scott Tschirhart

I'd love to do this kind of hunt. But it would be with Big Nose Kate and holy black!

Scott Tschirhart

Thank you. I never knew that. You learn something new every day.

Scott Tschirhart

I think we all should take whatever opportunity we have to be in a hunting camp with good friends again. We should not let this tradition die out.

I have a theory about the extra levergun. I think someone had to take the photograph and it is his levergun.

Scott Tschirhart

I would love to have a rifle like that in .32 Win Special! Keep it as is and enjoy it.

Scott Tschirhart

In September of 2014, I caught myself looking at a post that I made on FB for the purpose of seeing how many "likes" it got. I came to the realization that this was poison to me and I was frankly surprised that I would give anyone else that kind of power to judge me or my post. I shut down...

One of our people brought a lot of Winchester LP primers to the shoot in Arkansas, I bought 5000 on the spot as he was asking a fair price. I didn't really need them, but there's no reason not to have them. I'm glad to see that some powder is getting through to dealers. Before Thanksgiving I ordered...

Scott Tschirhart

I know I've killed a truckload of deer and a few elk with the 33 Winchester and never lost one. once the velocity goes above 2400 weird things happen.....with the advent of partition bullets this theory/practice may be outdated. -----6 You may be onto something there. I've had mixed experiences wit...

Deer are somewhat bigger in Texas now than they were then, at least in my region. But I get your point.

Scott Tschirhart

I saw a Winchester ad from back in the old days where they were promoting a .32-20 as a deer cartridge. My brother and I started shooting deer with a 110 grain soft point in an M-1 Carbine that dad bought for $15 from an ad in the American Rifleman. We didn't lose any deer, but the ranges were short...

Scott Tschirhart

I try to remember that I am never alone (and I know that I never have been) and sort of keep up a running conversation going. Not all the time of course, but if we all thought that God was right there with us, we would likely be more polite to each other.

Scott Tschirhart

Yes, it is measured from the breach face to the muzzle.

Scott Tschirhart

They had original center fire 66s? I was under the impression that all 66s were chambered for the.44 Henry Flat which was a rimfire cartridge. But I admit that I haven’t studied this in great detail.

Scott Tschirhart

No MIM or plastic parts in my old gun. The hammer is much heavier and falls harder. Lock time might be increased, but not so you can tell. The trigger pull is definitely longer, but I would rather have a gun that goes "BANG!" every time I pull the trigger.

Scott Tschirhart

I always wondered what those things were on the barrel of the main gun. Thank you for sharing.

Scott Tschirhart

I get lead at the airport. They put a bunch of sheets of lead in the bottom of some planes when they bring them over from France (they tell me that it is for ballast). It appears to be pure lead, and the addition of a little tin makes some great bullets. The only issue is that the sheets are about 1...

My loading setup is in the garage. I make a lot of ammo on rainy days so that I can shoot on sunny days!

Scott Tschirhart

I wanted to do a shoutout to NKJ because I was having sticky feeding in an old Rossi. He sent me the steel follower and a new spring and it solved all of the issues I was having. Good stuff. Thanks!

Scott Tschirhart

Glock 20 (10mm) under pillow. Scott that pump looks like a hand full, what shells do you run in it? The cheapest 00 buck I can buy in 25 round boxes. I have it loaded with “Estate “ brand 00 buck from Cabellas. Premium buckshot patterns too tight for inside work. With the wood stocks it is definite...

Scott Tschirhart

It’s a Brazil contract gun. But it isn’t marked 1917. I always call them a 1937. The barrel says “S. & W. D.A. .45”. I know that it’s basically the same gun.

This revolver has no problem setting off primers!

Scott Tschirhart

I’ve been messing around with.45 ACP revolvers for some time. I’ve come to seriously distrust some of the MIM parts in newer S&W revolvers. But my old S&W 1937 seemed different to me because of the old longer action. But the problem doesn’t seem to be a problem at all after swapping out the ...

Scott Tschirhart

Why would anyone comply? We all know where that goes.

This is Texas and we remember well what happens.

Scott Tschirhart

I sat out on Sunday and watched this young buck from about 20 yards. He was spooked but he could not figure out why. He had an 8 point rack, but the horns were inside his ears and he was perfectly safe as he was not legal. But I would bet that he would taste as good as a legal deer. Congratulations!...

Scott Tschirhart

Happy Thanksgiving! I’ve developed the habit of starting my day giving thanks to the Lord for all of the wonderful people and things he has blessed me with. I’m just as grateful for the challenges and struggles because I don’t seem to grow unless I’m challenged.

In brotherly love,

Scott

Scott Tschirhart

The wood stocks work for me. I could not hold onto the plastic ones.

Scott Tschirhart

Reminds me of the old days:

Scott Tschirhart

I keep this handy:

Scott Tschirhart

I'm still using the same 550 that I bought many years ago. I doubt that I have enough years left in me to wear it out.

This was an excellent report on an interesting machine.

Scott Tschirhart

That's a really great find! Congratulations!

Scott Tschirhart

I have the same trouble with grips like that. They look great, but I need a bit more support toward the heel of my hand.

That's one of the reasons I like a square butt N frame with the magna style grips.

Scott Tschirhart

I have all the stuff I could ever want.

But, I would like four more years of President Trump.

Scott Tschirhart

I could not get any accuracy with cast bullets in my Rossi until I went to a .454 diameter bullet.

Scott Tschirhart

I found a Freedom Arms mini revolver yesterday that I thought I sold years ago!

Scott Tschirhart

I'm not pushing the .45 Colt as hard as some folks do. I'm fond of a 270 SAA bullet sized to .454 over 13 gr of HS-6 at the moment. My Rossi 92 loves it as does my Ruger Blackhawk. Not too much, but plenty. But I also like shooting the Hornady 255 gr Cowboy bullet over 8.5 gr of Unique. Seems to sho...

Scott Tschirhart

Unfortunately fear makes people do stupid things. And there is a lot of fear out there. Fear is almost always an overreaction to an uncertainty. I don't intend to give up anything. I haven't curtailed enjoying my shooting because of ammo shortages or covid. I'm just living my life. I think about thi...

Scott Tschirhart

That's a really cool project.

Scott Tschirhart

That's a great program and I'm really happy to see this kind of thing.

Scott Tschirhart

Thoughts and prayers going up on your behalf.
