Re: In remembrance of Edmund Fitzgerald .
I gotta tell ya! That's one good looking ship. You've made some spectacular projects in the past but I think this one takes the blue ribbon. The story of the ships sinking brought back some somber memories for me. Having been in a hurricane at sea I can relate to how those men must have felt when th...

Re: Need help identifying a skull patch
Thanks for all the information and sites on the Army Ranger Skull Patch. It's seems my photo of a Ranger wearing the patch might be rare also. I would also like to thank my friend Pitchy for his suggestion to post question on the Lever Board.

Re: Need help identifying a skull patch
Pete, thank you for the information. I've always thought that little patch was something very special. I doubt anyone in my family knew my brother was an Army Ranger. My Mom was very proud of her boys. Had she known O.D. jr. was an Army Ranger she would have said something about it. Now I know why I...

Need help identifying a skull patch
I've been trying to find out the meaning of a little skull patch on my brother's left arm. A friend told me to post the photo here and someone might know what the little patch means. I do know the brother in the Army was a "Sharpshooter". I never really knew that brother. He was killed dur...

This is the only loading data I could find for the 38-55 using BL-C2. I hope it helps. It's from a 1989 Lee Precision handbook using Hodgdon's data.

Back around 1970 there was a Government trapper using the 38 Coyote Getter in Polk County Texas. One of the darn things went off in the trapper's hand. He darn near lost his hand. I saw his hand when he said it was much better. If it was better I'm glad I didn't see it when it was bad!
