I smoke pork loins occasionally.

Root beer floats are a delightful treat. As a type 1 diabetic, they are rare for me.

Nice guns. I don't have anything in .38 Special. It should be rectified.

piller

Not everyone is stuck on certain types or years. Like the rules say, we discuss almost anything---Politely.

300 blackout seems to be plenty useful. I have watched some videos on youtube where it was compared to other calibers. I have some larger and some more powerful things. Lots of power and noise is not always necessary.

No one cares that they are of an older than levergun design. Very nice!

piller

Keeping it from being obvious is a good idea.

That should do just fine on deer or black bear.

These are fun. Both .22 lr.

piller

OK. 327 and 32 Special.

Here is mine.

If it can eject a live round, then it seems that you have the C.O.A.L. right. I understand that is a dummy, but there shouldn't be any length differences. Obviously you know this.

Looked up a bit of data. Ruger only loads in .45 Colt usually go no more than 30,000 CUP. Approximately 30,000 psi. DO NOT QUOTE ME, look it up yourself and follow published data. I would feel safe using Ruger only loads in a rifle which handles .480 Ruger and 454 Casull. Work up carefully and have ...

.480 Ruger was made by Rossi. They run to a maximum of 48,000 psi. Honestly, that pressure is not necessary for most critters, but it is nice to know that you can get there if something big and dangerous needs to be whacked. That psi would be pretty hot in a .45 Colt caliber, but it certainly means ...

Happy Birthday, eh!

Mountain Lions have been found in Texas not too far from Dallas. Seeing them is probably better than having them around and not seeing them. I have never knowingly been in their territory, and I am not really wanting to change that. If they were in my area, I would be keeping watch. My dogs that I s...

Alas, this is the one combo post I will not be able to contribute to personally. No .40-cal/10MM longarms in my collection... :( Here's a .40 S&W for you Jay. https://i.imgur.com/mRKdRCQ.jpg I keep this set in my company SUV. I was never a big fan of the .40 until I got one. Not the biggest and...

It works, and it is accurate. Sure is ugly, but I didn't buy it for its looks.

In gunnery practice at Grafenwoehr, we got to shoot a few of the HEAT rounds and in the evening they would light up the sky with all sorts of bright colors depending upon what metal they were burning through as they exploded. My older brother, commo sergeant for the Cav unit, said that the Germans ...

When it is your time, you probably have little choice. My condolences on your losses.

piller

As we know, some powders can be position sensitive, and equipment error can cause light charges or double charges. Yes, the manufacturers need feedback. Good for Winchester.

piller

Could be fun.

piller

Cool looking guns. Not everything has to be pretty.

piller

You got it. That is the rifle which took a Water Buffalo/Cape Buffalo hybrid at Hondo.

piller

Clove first, pineapple second. Tangerine third. Wintergreen fourth.

piller

Very cool!

piller

Not leverguns. Plus, the long gun is inexpensive. It is accurate and it works reliably. The handgun is old styled enough to fit in with leverguns.

piller

Here is my 40 cal combo.

piller

I just looked at my notes. 9x 57 rimmed is what I was looking at. Less power and less pressure. A 20 gauge shotgun action is not really strong enough for much more. I have something in a combo for when I want to launch 400 grains at 1300 fps.

Had to learn how to edit with this phone.

I will start it and go get a picture.
OK got the picture. I will post the caliber after a couple of guesses.

piller

I haven't looked it up well yet. There is a 9.something rimmed cartridge that is straight wall and operates at a reasonable pressure for what I want to do. I think it sounds fun. I plan on starting this Fall.

piller

I have a book by one of the people who made one of CRS' double guns. I just don't have the time or place. I want to put a 9.3X76 or something like that into a double on an old 20 gauge action I have. I will go over to Shilen for the barrels as they are 25 miles away and will do special projects if r...

I remember when read and its past tense were spelled the same. I heard some news on the radio recently say readed. Nauseated is still correct, but most people say nauseous. Nauseous is actually something which has the ability to cause nausea. An example: Looking at that nauseous face of Hillary Clin...

In the shade, or in a tree at dusk, that first one could scare someone.

PillHer has a .327 SP 101 and a .327 Henry. Is that close enough for the 32 combos?

As Johnny Carson found out, do not let Mingo have a Tomahawk.

Good looking pups.

Part of the edge on stainless is having the right sharpening equipment. Carbotundum stones sharpen only a few grades of stainless. 420, AUS 8, and the softer ones. The carbides mixed with vanadium and nitrogen are too hard for carborundum or Arkansas soft stones to touch. Diamond to set the edge, cr...

piller

That should take any wild hog you can find.

piller

Congratulations.

piller

Good idea!

piller

A .45 Colt levergun and revolver combo would be nice. .357 combos are nice.

piller

Very cool!

piller

Scott, I get good results out of my Rossi .480 with H4227. It is slower in my Super Redhawk, but is accurate as I can shoot out of the rifle. Sorry, but I haven't chrono'ed this from the rifle.

piller

Yes. Do all you can to get them into good homes. Dogs need love.

piller

I don't have any full auto firearms. More than I want to spend.

I have what I like, and that is my right. If you want something different from what I want or have, then by all means GET IT.

Been thinking about this. We are all adults. We all have opinions and experiences. Man up and calm down if any part of this thread has upset you. I have used an M16, M16A2, M60, and T.O.W. Missile, and like a few others, I don't really want one. Doesn't mean I or anyone else on this forum thinks the...

Miss Helena Handbasket has become a problem. Too many 50 watt bulbs in a 100 watt world are refusing to believe in her.

First one got completely worn out and thrown away. Second one was a Normark Little Swede folding single blade with Mora stainless steel. Still have it. Still a good knife. My son says eBay prices are a couple hundred bucks. If you can find one. It cost under 15 dollars back back in 1974.

piller

Good news, and a reason to continue.
