Nice find, Vall. Beautiful checkering...

Thanks for the pictures

Walt

A couple of my favorites are a Winchester 9422M with a laminated stock and a High Standard Supermatic Trophy...

Walt

And she's not talking to you?! That just doesn't seem fair.

But I'm curious why you had to jump outta bed to rip it off. Were you afraid of brown sheets?

Walt

Bill, you had said that you'd ordered a copy of Elliott Barker's "80 Years with Rod and Rifle". Have you had a chance to read it?

I have 8 or 9 books by Roosevelt. When I want to read something told plainly and sensibly, I read from one of his books. Truly a man of honor.

Walt

Beautiful!! Thanks, Will. Great video...

Walt

Churchill must have won the competition as it was said he had the most experience and he was the closest at only 25 yards. It's hard to say who chose the distances at which each shot but since Bradley shot at 75 yards he may have been the one expected to do the best. Heck, I don't know but it's fun ...

Walt

BEWARE THE MAN WITH JUST ONE GUN That's been said for generations and I admit that's probably a valid statement. However, I'm more interested in the beauty, practicality and ownership of more than one. Okay, I'm not as good a shot with handguns as I was in my earlier years and I shoot a bunch of dif...

Walt

I'm not sure you can weld up to 1/4" with a 110V mig welder but 3/16" can certainly be done. I bought a 110V years ago but found it couldn't do everything I wanted so about 10 years ago I bought a Miller 220V on sale new and have really enjoyed it. It will definitely do anything I might wa...

Walt

Thanks for the load suggestions, Jim....and some mighty fine shooting!

Walt

Bill, although I agree with you that Wayne is a scoundrel, I also have to think back that he very ably brought the NRA a long way while defending our freedoms during his time as executive VP.

Walt

Gunny, I had an RCBS Jr press I bought in the early 70s that I used for all metallic cartridge reloading until I bought a couple of Dillon 550 progressives 25+ years ago. I use the Dillons solely for straight-walled cartridges and did only bottle-necked rifle rounds on the RCBS, oh and .45-70s. I pr...

Walt

Black River Smith, there are several powders that will substitute well for Bullseye. Accurate Arms #2, Red Dot, Power Pistol and TiteGroup ought to work just fine. Of those, TiteGroup is my favorite. It's a very versatile powder which works well through a broad range of pressure levels just like Uni...

Walt

That's really unfortunate. The bear has no fear of humans and it has already been tagged at least once for coming too close to people. This video could well put it on a death sentence list.

Walt

Absolutely! I understand that the US has dug deep into our own stocks of military weaponry in order to supply especially Ukraine. We need to catch up again and that does not bode well for future availability of Alliant powders.

Walt

I think the most significant reason for the shortage of Alliant powders is that they are based on nitrocellulose. Nitrocellulose is also the primary component of artillery shell propellants. The fact that the US has sent hundreds of thousands of tons of artillery shells to Ukraine over the last coup...

Walt

They're both great books; "bibles" to me and have gorgeous pictures of Colt SAAs. They also have detailed suggestions of what has worked for the author through decades of experience.

Walt

Also an excellent book, Dave Scoville's follow-up "Colt's Single Action Army - Loading and shooting the Peacemaker".

Walt

There are lots of powders that can be substituted with the suspension of Alliant powder availability. One of my favorite substitutes in .45 Colt with standard loads is TiteGroup. Using 250 gr machine cast bullets over 6.2 gr of TiteGroup results in 825 fps with standard deviations under 10 fps commo...

Walt

Me too! Hunting steel gongs spaced up a hillside from 12" at 35 yards to an 8" at 65 yards with various handguns and an occasiional levergun. It's a weekly occurrence and I've been doing it for years.

Walt

Great idea....no?

Walt

Around our community, people have thought it was cute to leave food out for the bears. That's pretty much a death sentence for the bears. When someone complains to the Game and Fish Dept about a bear rummaging around their house, they send out a couple of guys who find the bear, tranquilize and tag ...

Walt

Hey, I hope you get over that today, Jay. Have a better day!

Walt

No wonder the fish didn't like them.....you left out the salsa!

Walt

You ain't nuttin unless you have your couch and a refrigerator on your front porch. That and a nine foot TV dish antenna and an old bass boat in the front yard. We be cruisin!

Walt

Six, the mountain lions show up periodically on peoples' security cameras around the community but I had never seen one in my driveway until now. I have sometimes seen muddy bear tracks crossing my driveway after a rain but I only have one semi decent picture of one from one of my game cameras. Yep,...

Walt

Doc AJ, it almost has to be a bobcat because there are no claw marks since cats retract their claws. There are four pads in front and the footprint is almost round. Actually, there's no doubt it's a bobcat.

Walt

I saw muddy footprints in my driveway after a rain a few days ago so I checked my cameras.

Walt

Odd that John Taffin declares 44 Special alive and well and an article in the June 24 Handloader by another well known writer declares all 44 revolvers and calibers as dying. Turdyturdy, regarding the "dying" .44s, Venturino loves using provacative titles to his articles. Maybe he thinks ...

Walt

That's pretty exciting,,,,thanks, Vall!

Walt

One of my Ruger .357s had undersized throats, another did not. I did need to ream the throats of my Smiths. If memory serves me, I did need to ream the throats of my Ruger .44 Specials and also my Smiths. I don't believe I reamed the Ruger .44 mags or the Smith .44 mags. In spite of being a bit anno...

Walt

Grizz, I have enough revolvers in .357, .44 and .45 that I purchased all three reamers from Brownell's. The only exception was .41 caliber of which I have half a dozen revolvers but for which I couldn't find a reamer on line. I have several steel rods of different sizes that I have sawed slots into ...

Walt

Dr. Six, yep, we get spam calls here in NM; they come from all over the country. I don't know how they are able to change their phone numbers so that it looks like they're local but they do. We don't have a land line any more, just cell phones. This was my solution and it works. I have a list of acq...

Walt

Jay, I imagine that if your son were a civilian contractor rather than military, he would be bringing in the Big bucks for that sort of work. I hope the military takes really good care of him.

Walt

Scott, this is what I do to firelap my revolvers so they don't lead the barrel with cast bullets. I use lead bullets that are rounded all the way to the case mouths; no SWC because they just push the grinding compound out of the barrel. I load up 8 or 10 rounds using around 2 gr of Bullseye. Based o...

Walt

Jack, I kinda suspected it was a scam. I wish there was a way to prosecute the scam artists but the volume of dirtbags trying to trick people out of their hard earned money is just overwhelming.

Walt

Nice pictures, Jay! There's some truly majestic country up there. I really don't know much about warships, patrol boats, etc., but it always pleases me when the Navy or Coast Guard has vessels that can outrun the drug smugglers and other bad guys. Yeah, they think they have the best and fastest that...

Back in the fifties and sixties, hunting was considered an honorable pastime by what I'm certain was the majority of the country. Things are way different now; the liberal media has worked overtime to make Americans' perception of hunting as negative as possible. In Sarah Palin's case I would imagin...

Walt

Yep, Sarah Palin did exactly the same thing when she was running for VP. She showed pictures of bloody caribou and other game animals she and her party had killed, thinking that the American public reveres the strength of character that must indicate. Well, the people of this country are much less t...

Most of my growing up years were in a very small school, about 300 kids from 1st to 12th grade. My family moved to the city and my graduating class in '68 was made up of over 3,000 kids. Even at that time there were "competitions" to see who could put an adversary into the hospital for a l...

Walt

Scott, you may be aware that Accurate Molds will make up almost any design of bullet mold you want and in whatever dimension you request. Their promise is that the bullets that come out of their molds will be no smaller than your specifications but may be up to .002 larger....they ask you to detail ...

Walt

Fred, tomorrow is supposed to be the coolest day of the past week. The high is forecast to be 56° but then it'll warm up into the high 60s and low 70s for the next week or so. This is the windy season for us but it hasn't been teeribly bad (yet). But even if the wind blows, we still have beautiful b...

Hey Six, come shootin with me!

The Home Depot store where I normally do business locks their bathroom doors because they have instances of people shooting up in there. There's an old guy who helped us with our kitchen remodel whose job it is now to unlock the bathroom door for anyone who says they need to go. I spoke with him bri...

Walt

Jay, from the size of the trees on the abuttment, it's been a while since it was useable.

Thanks for the pictures!

Walt

I like using the Lee Factory Crimp Die on most of my pistol calibers but found that it does not work for .45 Colt bullets sized to .454 because the collet is made to crimp no more than .452 diameter. Since I prefer seating and crimping as separate operations, I ordered a new, additional seating/crim...

Walt

Scott, I don't know if bullets from Lyman molds are generally available from custom casting businesses or if you cast your own but my best answer to your question is that I've found that the Lyman 452664 has almost the same size meplat as the 270SAA, has a very generous grease groove, weighs in at 2...

Walt

There are stories of police officers involved in chases shooting their AR-15 through their windshield. That first shot to break through the glass must result in an eardrum-shattering blast but it appears that subsequent shots are fired with the muzzle out through the window. I doubt that this is acc...

Walt

Well, sometimes doing something you loathe is the only way to achieve a goal.

Enjoy yourselves and be safe.
