It appears that the current system is working. Even the Psychiatrists that the CPS fired said that the children were not being abused. I know this will create some controversy, but I would rather see 5 guilty go free on a technicality than to have 1 innocent put in prison. Feel free to disagree with...

She likes the factory loads. The hot loads are a little more than she can handle. I have loaded it to the point once where I pulled the bullets and re-did the loads. Funny, but the accuracy was bad on the really hot loads even before I started flinching. The accuracy is better a little less than fac...

The Past pad probably would make it rather enjoyable. The factory 325 grain bullets are my 18 year old daughter's favorite. She regularly shoots 40 to 60 shots in a range session when I load it to factory duplicates. Here is a picture of her from Friday night before Prom. As you can see she is about...

I have never fired those combos in a .45-70, but the recoil from my Puma was less than the recoil from 86ers model 86. 86ers had what felt to me like a much better recoil pad than mine and the recoil was not at all painful. I equate my .480 Puma's recoil to that of a 20 gauge slug. If I load the 400...

By the way, the 325 grain loads can be run up to nearly 1550fps in a 7½ inch barrel revolver, but they aren't much fun and the accuracy actually gets worse. I have the best accuracy from dropping the 325 grain bullets about 100fps from factory, and the 400 grain going about 150fps faster. Go figure.

Ricky did shoot my .480 Ruger Puma. I had it loaded with 400 grain Speer Gold-Dot flat points with H110. Over the Chrony it was moving about 1250 fps, and in the Puma it isn't too bad. Go up in velocity or weight and it starts to get uncomfortable. I can run it up to about 1400 fps in the Puma witho...

Added a Skinner peep sight to the Guide Gun
I added a Skinner peep sight to the new Guide Gun. I know, I'm adding gadgets to it even before I shoot it. I don't think this makes it a Rooney gun, and it seems to be useful. http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii176/dbcasady/picturealbum3378-1.jpg http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii176/dbcasady/...

If he was on the 40 mg methadone he was a doper, if he was on the other strengths he wasn't. I see more dopers on hydrocodone/apap than you can shake a stick at, but only on so far on methadone.

I read the link and Eberle was prescribed the Methadone for pain management. As I stated, the Texas laws allow for that. Methadone is a fair pain reliever as it does not give the addiction problems that Hydrocodone/Apap, Oxycodone, Morphine, Hydromorphone, or Fentanyl give. It lasts about 8 hours an...

Just my 2 cents worth, but you should all be aware that if you are on a jury and a law comes into the trial which you consider to be unconstitutional, Jury Nullification is an option.

As a Pharmacist, I can tell you that there is a lot more to being prescribed methadone than simply to treat addiction. In fact, to treat addiction with it, a Doctor has to be certified and go through training for it. The Doctor also gets a specially numbered DEA license number. Almost any Doctor can...
