I believe President Eisenhower preferred the .410 for bobwhites.

Nice target, Bryan. I need to get my Lee Production Pot working again so I can cast some of John Kort’s 43-215Cs and get my Uberti back to the range. The .44 WCF is just so very pleasant to shoot.

Bill in Oregon

Absolutely, Paul!

Bill in Oregon

Ted, that’s an astonishing rifle. Our friends from Oceania might call it a “pearler.”

Bill in Oregon

I’m down, Will! Anyone have SAAMI’s phone number on them?

Bill in Oregon

I agree! I really like the basketweave pattern on that knife sheath. It makes me think of woven strips of birch bark.
And who doesn’t love a Stormy Kromer?

Never realized roosters could be such stinkers. Now, an angry goose …

Bill in Oregon

That was a long and difficult surgery! Praying he gets out of ICU — and the tubes out— ahead of schedule, with pain under firm control. Can’t let that horse out of the barn.

Here is an intriguing path to look into: Vitamin K2.
The study found a significant reduction in cramp frequency with 180 mcg Vitamin K2 M7 nightly. Ordered some.

Well, one day next week I am driving up the Continental Divide road to the Ben Lilly memorial area where the fire crews chipped and ground a lot of the trees and brush they had to cut down fighting our big June forest fire. There are piles of chips along the rioad free for the taking, so I will brin...

Drawdown: Water and vinegar eh? Not salted water, or buttermilk? Maybe the buttermilk is just for chicken.

Vall I occasionally get the finger and sometimes forearm cramps too. If the fingers cramp while I am driving, I find that sitting on the offending digits — spread out flat like you — will eventually cause them to give up and behave.

Bill in Oregon

Had Banties, Americanas and Buff Orpingtons. Many places I have lived ban roosters within town limits to cut down on that morning racket that many understandably find unwelcome.

More great advice. Looking forward to the magnesium experiment. I took extra potassium last night just in case and was rewarded with two sets of cramps and the third got me up for good. Mick, hard work, a broken heart and heat have me down to 152 pounds right now, fighting weight for me at 5’8”. I r...

I had an acquaintance in Oregon named Pete Thornily (see his power factor equation) and Pete was a good friend of Marshall Stanton as well as being a very advanced handloader. Pete and Marshall came up with their own blended powders to boost velocity in the .444 among others, and Pete used his Marli...

Heh!

I only ever kept a half dozen or so hens.

Man, the tool user, putting gravity to work. 8) Was just talking with my disabled vet neighbor who hails from Indiana. He was telling me about a home he had owned that still had coal chutes. I told him that in the 1950s and early 1960s a lot of homes in Oregon's Willamette Valley still had sawdust c...

Back surgery veteran here. You have me on my knees for your father and his surgical team.

Bill in Oregon

Thanks again friends. Doc, I ordered a magnesium supplement from Primal Harvest that includes magnesium citrate, malate and glycinate. Hope this is a step forward, but one step at a time here.

Bill in Oregon

I totally approve!

Bill in Oregon

Thanks Tycer. I got more advice about boosting the magnesium and will try it tonight.
I have a really good TENS machine but it is poorly adapted for this middle-of-the-night stuff.

Bill in Oregon

Thanks Will. Never heard o’ such a thing.
I’ll admit that preventing from starting is my first priority — or at least getting a glimpse of the cause. It's not like I am sedentary. I get a lot of 10,000-step days on my watch.

Bill in Oregon

I have been dealing with these for a couple of years now. They will subside for a few weeks and I think they are gone then they come roaring back. I have had the usual back-of-calf and thigh cramps off and on since I was a kid. But these lower leg things are new and weird and get me up two and three...

Bill in Oregon

John, sorry for your horrible mess.
I had forgotten about the tiny SAK on my keyring when passing through the checkpoint for an air show at Holloman Air Force Base in Alamogordo, NM. The Air Force has it still.

Bill in Oregon

That's just awful.

I was unaware of how effective the Hedgehog was against subs. Geez.

Bill in Oregon

Scott, I mitigated the issue by shaving most of mine off.

Bill in Oregon

Same here, Vall. Hope it is fixed for good!

Bill in Oregon

By the way, Ted, your method of adjusting regulation by filing the muzzle crowns is very effective, but it gave Cabelas a massive customer relations headache when it was found that many of the Sabatti double rifles it was selling had been regulated this way at the factory! Quite the scandal a few ye...

Ted, if you want to try BP loads in Magtech brass shells, they take large pistol primers and are loaded with hand tools.

Hey, that's a lot of gray whiskers between the two of you!

Bill in Oregon

Ted, I have dreamed of a project like this for some time now. Yours is an inspiration. I enjoyed working with the Pedersoli Kodiak percussion doubles in .58 and .72, but now in my dotage, might look for a 16- or 20-gauge donor for this sort of thing. You are so fortunate that your barrels are well r...

Bill in Oregon

Brian, the Turks can make a very fine pistol when they want to, and they seem to want to these days.

Bill in Oregon

Charleville is SPF, fellas. Thanks.

Bill in Oregon

Have this up over on the muzzleloadingforum.com but thought I would mention it here too, just in case. 8) I also have a long-ago sporterized and uncommon Michigan National Guard Remington Lee Model 1899 in .30-40 Krag in nice shape to put up for sale soon. Lemme know if there is interest here. Here'...

Bill in Oregon

Drawdown, Will, thanks. There's actually a fair amount of 16 gauge ammo available around here. I am not sure of the ideal shot size for "squill" though. I always thought I needed a .22 rifle or a .36 caliber Southern Mountain Rifle in flint to hunt them properly.

Bill in Oregon

You know, this thread has convinced me that I need to take Dad's old Model 37 16 for a walk in the Gila National Forest and look for grays. Squirrel season here starts September 1 and runs through November 30. I notice all I have right now for ammo is this box of Vintage Remington paper shells in No...

Jason, my late uncle Paul, a sawmill manager, muleskinner and rancher, kept a 9422M around the ranch for coyotes and such. They learned to avoid that property in short order!

I'd have caught Hades from Dad if I ever walked out on a sermon.

Skeeter lived less than an hour south of here. Bet he stood before this stone a time or two.

Awesome results Will!

Samsi mentioned this famous lawman rests in the Masonic Cemetery in Silver City. I was in town on an errand and paid respects. Here is a brief biography of a remarkable man: http://www.americancowboychronicles.com/2014/07/tom-threepersons-last-gunfighter.html https://i.postimg.cc/rzcvxsdh/IMG-0563.j...

That makes sense. The manager for Oliver Lee State Park south of Alamogordo lives in the ranger's residence in the snake-infested area south of the main park, and she finally lost her big old buddy after he was struck in the face for about the fifth time. Vet said it was just too much for his system.

Walnut, steel and a touch of brass.

Your dog is killing rattlesnakes?

Bill in Oregon

Ditto.

Today this would be called fat shaming.

Bill in Oregon

WOW! Good to see you back, Carlsen.

Bill in Oregon

Thanks for that, Samsi. I'll run down to the Masonic Cemetery when next in town.
