I never really noticed an accuracy issue when I was fire forming 257Roberts Ackley Improved. Velocities were lower for sure!

GunnyMack

Well that's great news! My great niece is due to arrive in about a month and a half, my niece was also having some 'issues' with her early pregnancy but all is well now.

Diapers are for the parents and grandma's to deal with- thank you very much!

From what I just read, Fox news, the Navy crew tried to scuttle the old girl after many hits. They failed in that attempt. 14 jap torpedos to finally sink her.
May she rest in peace with the 111 crew that went with her.

GunnyMack

You said the chamber is fixed, what exactly was the issue?

GunnyMack

I'm not saying I wouldn't like more cake but do I really NEED more cake...?

GunnyMack

ah now I understand.... I'm actually October 2 not March 10.

I think Brownells had a Winchester red stain that reproduced the color quite well.

GunnyMack

Walking behind the dogs until they point/flush then shoot the bird!
Or
On the line at the bunker, load 2, call for the target and repeat.

Seriously tho any and all practice be it. Dry fire drills or live fire is good, retains muscle memory, recoil impulse is always good to feel.

GunnyMack

Good thing spring is coming you got a lot to play with! You still have to be the only guy in the country shooting skeet with a 10 ga!

GunnyMack

Nice you had a good day!
I haven't been to the show in years, 2 hour drive each way, too many people for my likes. I'd rather stay in the shop and smoke chipmunks, easy to light but they dont draw too good!

GunnyMack

He is 20 minutes away from me- I avoid his shop- could get expensive!

GunnyMack

Not trying to spend your money but stevecobbguns.com has quite a few Parkers listed...

According to the Guns&Ammo article the 350 uses 223 case.

GunnyMack

That was a big dollar item! I'm sure somewhere there is record of him and his endeavors.

GunnyMack

It's real pretty country tho! I do miss the sage brush country...

GunnyMack

I'll have to recheck the article but I think it said they use 223 case and the bullets are produced on a 9mm machine with minor tooling changes.

GunnyMack

Well that is interesting for sure. Now do you research the original owner ?

GunnyMack

Well well that gun musta been for someone 'special '!
Does the letter go into detail about who it was for?

GunnyMack

Bill I know Alamagordo, I interviewed at a shop there in town back in 93. I got the job but turned it down, low pay and I dont like HOT!
I was there over Easter break and it was in the high 90s, just too hot for my taste.

GunnyMack

Well Siberia is either east OR west of you...

Hey Bill now you can get to exploring the White Sands without worrying about getting lost!

GunnyMack

Oh heck take em all! Leave them in the truck and grab whichever suits the situation best.

GunnyMack

Enjoy your day at the range!

GunnyMack

Yes it "flew" in ground effect. Sure the simulations say it could fly but it did not get out of ground effect so I did NOT technically fly! I am not disagreeing its was a technological feat. It was also ridiculously expensive and Hughs more or less went nuts because of it. In the governmen...

Ground effect

Granted the Spruce Goose was tested over water but it's the same thing.

Green Mountain has levergun barrels but not sure of caliber offerings.

What exactly do you mean by cutting the bullet? Is it a feed ramp issue or from chamber?

Suppose I could use the .308 but man I can’t stand that rifle.

A set of hornet dies, box of Hornady Vmax, a pound of IMR 4227( MY GUN LOVES IT) and you can shoot a lot of yotes!

GunnyMack

Not a distance thing it's an elevation thing. Wilber & Orville gained altitude. The Goose didnt get high enough for the wings to make enough lift to climb, it stayed in ground effect( the cushion of air under the wings) so technically not flight.

GunnyMack

Go 458 or heck even 375 socom. Granted ya get more frontal & weight in 458 but the 375 might be a bit more pleasant to shoot.
I'd just buy the upper, might be able to give someone a spec sheet with what ya want.

GunnyMack

I wasnt knocking plywood, it was a brilliant solution to the war effort.
As for the Spruce Goose yes it looks like an airplane BUT it never got out of ground effect so it didnt actually fly... still an accomplishment for the time.

GunnyMack

I started with a Parker crossbow, axle holes in the cams were oblong in short order. It was slow, most deer hit in the spine from ducking the string. Upgraded to an Excalibur with 240 lbs of limbs to cock. A lot faster and no cams to wear out!

GunnyMack

Those will thump the snot outta a deer! I have a Browning BPS 10, I've only ever shot buckshot out of it, shot 1 deer with it, yearling at about 10 yds as it was running at me. Had to shoot in self defense! Face full of of 00 - only dental records would have helped ID it... just too heavy to carry a...

The Brits of that era could knock out some truly gorgeous airplanes, such as the Mosquito and the Hornet from de Havilland.

And they were plywood!

March Guns & Ammo has an article about the 350 legend.
Simply states the 350 is easy shooting, miserly uses powder, effective on deer from 13 -200 yds. The author likes it's mild recoil.

GunnyMack

This was on a Snapple cap. I had to check it just to see it work- sometimes the Snapple trivia isn't accurate.

GunnyMack

It works out as
123,456,789,987,654,321

GunnyMack

What does
111,111,111 X 111,111,111 = ?

GunnyMack

No lube needed with carbide, they do speed up the process.

GunnyMack

It sure looks like honest wear, if it could only talk! I've often wondered how many fine doubles have been ruined by salt blueing.
Good score!

Did you change your handle?
Just saw an AR in 45ACP.

Now that is a very creative sundial! What a fun way to make use of ancient technology. But... how do you know what time it is after dark ?

Honestly you could sell that!

GunnyMack

Just watched a show on Smithsonian channel about a guy in MD bought a Spitfire in England, had it shipped here and is now flying it.

GunnyMack

Nice find!
I can hear Bill Murry now- DIE GOPHER!

GunnyMack

Usually the eagles around here are eating road kill deer. Brown body with pink heads.

GunnyMack

I've seen that before too. An owl is a smart critter- knowing the intestines don't have much in the way of nutrition they just unzip the victim and take the delectables. Old Peter cotton tail never knew what hit him. One of the great things about having snow on the ground , the evidence becomes clear.

GunnyMack

Now for a ROCK lobster & a ROCK game hen!

GunnyMack

That's got some thinking involved to use!

GunnyMack

I'll stick to watching the PUPPY BOWL!

GunnyMack

I have 2 different RWS, an old model 45, VERY accurate. Actually scary accurate- shoot a playing card on edge at 30' accurate. The other is a 350 magnum, with light pellets it will break speed of sound. It's not as accurate as the 45. I'm not fond of the trigger either. I'd say your old pump has pro...
