I thought that is what lady friends are for ... picking up spent lead so I don't have to bend over. It's much more fun collecting scrap lead when watching them do it.
Southwestern Pa. still has 2 or 3 ranges that still shoot it alongside Lever action silhouette. It's the NRA version though not IHMSA. What is the difference between the two versions...? I used to do it with a Super Blackhawk in central Indiana - the range in the 1970's was still in downtown Bloomi...

They were not very accurate and/or I can't see the factory sights very good anymore. This one is top eject and I am thinking about getting a Skinner sight or one of Turnbull's Red Dot setups. I really like the Williams FP on leverguns. You do need to drill & tap most Winchesters though. The ‘Fi...
. Yet another example of 'scientists' fear-mongering over things they don't even understand. They continually voice 'surprise' at things they though would go one way that go another, yet they expect us to find them credible and go with whatver dramatic social policies will 'save us' from the latest ...

Yep. The only choice we have is either to participate politically, or give up. If you’re playing Monopoly or tennis, you can give up, but you don’t give up when lives and freedom are at stake.
. I was watching a documentary about the Bronze Age or something (I can’t remember now exactly) but anyway, the speaker was showing the type of slingshot that is just a leather cup on a thong, that you swing around your head, and then let go, and claimed that ‘back in the day’ a skilled user of such...

My meters (one digital one analog) both read 104-106 v AC last night and 112 v this morning. I didn’t take photos but if happens again I sure will. I was surprised that the LED bulbs seemed more obviously dim with a 10% voltage drop than the incandescents. I’m tempted to get a voltage meter to perma...

135 gr. is pretty stubby for the .45 Yeah. Even though it is a solid copper (or maybe bronze) it still has a hollow rear like a MinieBall and is STILL nearly a low-BC round-ball from the looks of it. If 'petaled' maybe a great short range defense load for 2-legs. Otherwise I agree; gimme a big ol f...
. Our rural homestead has three houses and two barns, coming from one pole transformer and one pad transformer. We had the usual twice-a-year flood this week, but nothing unusual. However, I noticed that one bathroom light fixture seemed unusually dim this morning. It has a couple new (3-6 month old...

Hardest thing I ve had to do in my life was sit through a sensitivity course with an instructor who was a 6’5” man wearing a dress and I suppose a wig and makeup.Try doing that with a room full of guys trying not to laugh .Was the longest 3hrs of my life I honestly don’t think I could do that. Wow ...

...been through a couple and lucked out as well. Horrible things. Almost no way to build tornado proof buildings and even if you did your trees and so on would be gone in an instant.
You remained calm especially not being in a basement or anything, leaving you very vulnerable.

. A patient who works in health care recently made a joking comment at work that 'offended' someone who stomped off in a huff. The comment was made to remind eveyone to respect patient privacy.

It makes me wonder if you could use a 3D printer to build a paraffin or similar material 'form' so that you can make an investment casting using metal as a second step.
. Lots of options, and probably the best is to travel to go to one of the high-end places like Gunsite Ranch, but few of us will ever afford the time or money to do that.

I've seen YouTube videos on all those, and find the challenge of even just elevation to be impressive, much less for windage conditions. Of course even if the gun ...

. I've used extra-high rings to help that issue (case damage) in a 32-20. Higher rings don't bother me as I use a 'chin-weld' vs a 'cheek-weld', but one could use a leather buttstock cheek-pad if needed. From a practical shooting and hunting standpoint the 'point-blank range' is deeper/longer with a...
