Hey there HR. Interesting ideas on the safe. I like the panel idea about glueing multiple wired concrete backer board. Sounds strong and fireproof. Anything made from wood will burn and can be accessed with a simple saw. Perhaps a layer of expanded metal glued in. With todays construction adhesives,...

Could make it shoot better. Less muzzle rise.

This is exactly why we are taught as beginners to "Know your target, and beyond." Hunters get so fixed on the target animal that, in all the excitement, they forget to look beyond. Other hunters, houses or livestock can be just beyond.

I do enjoy picking up the guitar every now and then but I don't play well. I like rock and bluegrass but I don't do country.

The crown on a barrel is not the same as the muzzle. The crown is the part of the muzzle from the bottom of the grooves to the top of the lands at the muzzle end. Most round barrels have a radius muzzle and most octagon barrels have a flat muzzle but all have a crown. On most round barrels with radi...

I give up. I ask a reasonable favor not only for myself, but for others and all I get is a load of manure. I'll quit wasting my time. Joe I hear you loud and clear and from those of us with dial up, thank you. Courtesy is definitely thin. It would do you city folk some good to remember that some of...

I think you will find all the "dash" cartridges used the same meanings except one. The first number is as you said, calibre, the second is black powder in grains and if you have a third number as in 45-70-405 it is, cal - powder - bullet in grains. The one oddball cartridge is the 38-40 w...

They lose me on the math as soon as they start using letters instead of numbers.

I feel for you partner. If it means not getting cancer, I'd be happy to mow the rest of my life. No problem. Since works been down to nothing for the last two years, my wife hasn't touched a piece of firewood or a blade of grass. I gotta do something with my time and I like work. Makes me feel good....

w30wcf. Nice cartridge box. I have a few myself. New is expensive so reloading is the only choice. Personally I prefer to reload. I'll keep your load recommendations in case I have issues with my IMR4227. I haven't had the gun very long and haven't done much shooting with it. Kim. Thanks and anytime...

I can see the fun of trying ricochet shots. But I have to do it on targets. On a live critter I prefer to harvest quickly and certainly as in that I feel I owe that to the game. I've worked my whole life trying to perfect it. However. I have played with various methods of ricochets and wounding shot...

The other day I got the urge go shoot something. The weather had been hot for days but that day a cooler breeze blew. All the chores were done for the day and my time was free so it was all about me. So I picked up the 1892 Winchester in 38wcf and went to the neighbor's down the road. Now I'm loaded...

Boiling in water won't "blue" metal. It's not hot enough. To hot blue, the metal needs to get to about 600 degrees. Melted salt works.

Folk medicine has it that washing the affected area in the Blacksmith's slack tub would cure poison ivy and such. Modern medicine has shown that washing the affected area with most anything helps to wash away the oils and stops the spread. The BSA first aid standard is to wash with cold soap and wat...

I think some of it is these folks are bull shifters and there's lots of them. They go through life in a dream world and don't care who suffers for it. They make deals but don't come through or buy things on ebay and don't pay. They are the same folks who will say I'll do "whatever" for you...

And if you shoot cast, IMR4227 will work in almost any gun. I mean I have a Hornady book that has an IMR4227 load for everything from 22Hornet up past 30-06 and 8mm Mauser. A very versatile powder for cast.

Good job. You have learned one of the best secrets of turkey hunting. Knowing when to shut up. If you make a call and the gobbler answers right back, then he knows exactly where "that hen" is. This is usually my last call for a while. Makes them more curious and they come looking. If you k...

....and thus the flames of creativity are fanned... Try using an old brake drum for your fire pot. It is cast and perfect for heating and cooling with out cracking. If it did, so what, keep using it.

That is very near how some of the first forges were built. Good thinking. If you are serious about learning about blacksmithing, I would recommend Iforgeiron.com and anvilfire.com.

Well it only took 27 years but I finally got my 25th bird today. I'm now a master. It all started back in about 1982 or so when my best friend and I decided we needed to start turkey hunting.

As one who didn't serve militarily, I would like to offer another perspective. My father was a marine in the early 50's. All my life I heard the same stories and the cocky talk and he always seamed to talk down the navy "swabbies". Other marines I have known in my life always were the same...
