darn! Recoil's not too bad on that thing, is it? I've never gotten into the super velocity small calibers, other than some 2,000 fps neighborhood .357 loads and some 180 gr. silhouette loads in the same caliber.

When I went to KABSU, the artificial breeding facility in Manhattan, Ks., I was amazed at the size of some of those holstein bulls; the small ones were about 6'2" at the withers!

Travis Morgan

Thanks Perry, I was just curious. Travis, you are clearlly jumping to wrong conclusions. This is a type written forum and there is no sound, except for the noises in your head. I am not sure if I have been to your range, and even if I have, I have not shot at your silhouette targets. I do not even ...

Travis Morgan

Dairy bulls can be some of the meanest, hands down. Dad always swore the meanest he'd ever seen was a Jersey or Gurnsey.

Travis Morgan

Well, went to the Dr. today, and she gave me some Meloxicam and Voltaren Gel. Hopefully, something will work!

Travis Morgan

For the most part, Rugers are just fine, until people screw with them. No need to replace half the parts before you even shoot them, and most owners don't shoot well enough to realise a difference.

Travis Morgan

Ind as far as "So you want to be a cop?" The proper response is "No sir. But I think they are more qualified to choose which ammo is best than I." Hell no, I don't wanna be a cop! I actually practice shooting, I hit what I aim at, and know where my gun shoots! I've tested more a...

My hands are about shot from 42 years of holding a steering wheel and shifting 2 four speeds for years. I can relate my friend, but I tend to lan towards the DSMO before putting those aspirin type chemicals in my gut. Actually, you guys need to stay away from DMSO (I forget what that stands for) DM...

That's an old trick with rodeo guys, but not one you should use unless you're stuck in the middle of nowhere with no options.

Whatsa milkcow? (And why would I want to fool with one?) :lol: One ranch I worked on had a big holstein for a nurse cow; the boss had a fit when he found out I wasn't stripping her out(making sure there was NO milk left in her bag, to prevent milk fever) Hell, I diddn't know about milk cows, and di...

Travis Morgan

Perry, Do they actually test your ammo to see if it is within their requirements? How do they enforce it? You sound like the guy every gunclub wants to be rid of; guys like you are the reason the silhouette targets are shot all to hell despite cast bullet only rules, and we now keep them locked up ...

Travis Morgan

And ... sorry for the two posts back to back. Another thought to keep is: Find out what your local police carry in their guns. I carry those 158's because they're good at what they do, and they have a proven history with police departments. But in all my other guns I carry factory ammo, the same ro...

Travis Morgan

Shoveling bunks and doing anything with a milk cow are the only things you listed I really dislike. I don't do irrigation ditches, either. That's what backhoes, trenchers, and dynamite are for!

Prayers sent to The Healer. He does all the work, but we try to claim credit for it - the only time we want to give HIM credit is when we mess up.

Travis, Wht type of arthritis do you have? Osteoarthritis, I think. Watch out on big doses of the ibuprofens if you have borderline blood pressure or any kidney problems, though. There's a good (but pricey) product called Voltaren that comes in a gel; you'd not need much for a couple finger or wris...

Dan, I think that was with a 150, 170, or 180 grainer. Probably a 180. I didn't provide the powder on the idiot load because someone that thinks they know better will decide they want to see what it does. You wouldn't think so, but I even had someone come into the gunshop I was working at and ask if...

mescalero1, Toby Keith is a country singer, and a pretty darn good one if I do say so. That depends on your definition of "country". Folks in Oklahoma(where I was born) tend to be a bit clannish; as in, "If you ain't from here, you don't belong here". After a while, though(two o...

Jerks in cars were still cutting me off even with a rifle sticking out of my backpack!

You bikers are nuts. Nancy and I gave my stepson his first bike since he was a kid the Chrismas-before-last, and today while he was visiting from Charleston he rode it from Asheville to the summit of Mt. Mitchell. 40 miles and 4000 feet up. My hat's off to y'all. I'm so outta shape. http://i9.photo...

WTH did you use? A BENCH GRINDER?

Travis Morgan

125 or 158 gr. Remington bulk semi jacketed soft hollow point with the scalloped edge on the jacket.

Travis Morgan

Just give it a good cussing, then give it to me.

Travis Morgan

I won more fights when I was a kid simply because I didn't hesitate. If you told me you were gonna kick my butt, you'd better be swinging as you said it. I learned that most people only want to be in a fight they're winning. Swat some loudmouth on the snout good enough to make his eyes water, and he...

Travis Morgan

Anyone know of a sub 300 gr. bullet for .45-70? My shootin' partner insists he wants a 250 gr. or so, but I can't find one. I keep telling him he oughta just get a smaller rifle if the .45-70 kicks too much!

Travis Morgan

Gun Smith wrote:That particular picture is reversed, unless he's wearing a women's jacket.

Back then, there wasn't really a standard, since most clothes were home made.

Travis Morgan

I determined that 33.2 gr. with the bullet I was using was too much when I noticed that I could watch the barrel whipping to the side when I fired the 33.3 gr. loadings. (Notice I didn't mention bullet weight or powder? There's a darned good reason!)

Travis Morgan

I watched it too; couldn't get the fact that McMurtry also wrote "Brokeback Mountain". I switched to "Dharma and Greg", or something.

How many packhorses does the guy use to carry one day's ammo?

Scott Young, you are right on when you say "new ones will come". It is a never ending job. That's why you must hunt them year round. I feel for the pups but that is why I say, "I know it's mother nature, but so am I". They have been out of control for 20 years. Ever since I saw ...

Popular Mechanic or Science had an article about shooting thru tires back in the 60's. IIRC they said to use between 4-7 tires. They used bolts and washers to fasten them 2gether.

They probably used some nuts, too.

Well, after years of using my body as a hammer, the Doc told me I have arthritis some time back; I finally got back to going to the gym and working out, and now my middle knuckle on my right hand feels like I smashed it on someone's forehead; been that way for a couple weeks, now.

I have, carry, and recommend, the Taurus Milleniums. The Millenium pro is double action only, but I shoot it pretty well. Once I got over hating it and just practiced with it, I got to doing pretty well, pretty fast.

Hornets are cooler than bees. Bees make honey, and Hornets are just badass!

I removed too much metal doing a freespin pawl. NOT Ruger's fault.

Travis Morgan

I don't think there'd be any danger of bending the case necks, and I think that if you were careful in your bullet selection, the .22 Hornet would be a very desireable chambering in a levergun. Hell, I want one! I'd like to see Henry come out with one.
