Like OldWin said, it's rained almost every weekend here too. Last night another 1.83" by my rain gauge. More to come this morning as well. Our lakes are full, but they screw around with the reservoirs constantly, lowering to almost empty some years. The earthquake last April caused some wells t...

GunnyMack

Looking at that data it's right there with the other powders as far as charge weight/ shot load/ velocities. I would say IF you can find it get some. I say IF because Alliant powders are not out there since COVID. I'm slowly going away from Alliant, sure I've got a few powders from them but since th...

GunnyMack

Now that would be a really handy rig! I wasn't aware Ruger did the #3 in 44 mag.

GunnyMack

That should do perfectly!

GunnyMack

I load 410 but not with 300MP. I would go to the manufacturer for specific load data. I don't have my load books handy to look for any recipes at the moment.
Please post data if you find anything.

I use lilgun and 296 mostly. I have also used 20/28 for a slug load- another unobtanium powder!

GunnyMack

Yes.
I haven't been able to contact the owner, hopefully tomorrow.
FYI there is someone else interested and they have 1st refusal .

GunnyMack

Certainly worth a try. I've not loaded for 380 or much plated bullets.
Nice thing about the Lee crimp dies is they are inexpensive enough to try and cure the setback problem.

GunnyMack

That is darn pretty! Lately I've had a hankering for a Standard Manufacturing color case 1911, but I refuse to try and find oneas my gun find is quite empty at the moment...

GunnyMack

Your design is great Doc.
The PAST recoil shield is another good option, I had forgotten about those!

GunnyMack

I've only tried one once, I wasn't too impressed as the LOP gets a tad longer. Also if it has pointy feet it's going to scratch up a bench top. Also it's proven that when shooting holding or not holding the forearm will cause POI changes. If shooting shotgun slugs I can see using one to get close bu...

GunnyMack

Yes Bill still frozen. Prevents structural meltdown at 225°.
I made a foil boat to stop it from running all over if I screwed up and left it too long.
Also, I used left over rub from the pork shoulder. The rub had kosher salt in it and the cream cheese is a tad salty, delicious but very good!

GunnyMack

Today I can get in, slowly but having trouble posting!

GunnyMack

It's awesome Bill. Just remember NO SALT in the tub you put on it. I used a little of what I had left from the shoulder and the cream cheese although it tastes great is a tad salty.
I had frozen this block prior, rubbed it and was smoking about 225°.

GunnyMack

So yesterday I smoked a pork shoulder for pulled pork. About half way through smoking I remembered I had a block of cream cheese in the freezer so I put some dry rub on that and smoked it for about an hour. oh my word is that good!

GunnyMack

Yes Bill- we all owe a big thanks to the powers that be here!!

GunnyMack

Exactly the same as you said Ray.
I dunno what it the cause but it sure is annoying.
I tried to reply to a post yesterday and when I hit submit the screen went white and nothing for about 4 hours...

GunnyMack

Sometimes I regret converting my single six from 32 h&r into 44 special but then I realize I have a one of a kind 44 special!
Can't say I've spent any time with a 32ACP, but I used to blast a bunch of 380 from a Star 1911 copy- man that little gun gave me hammer bite!

GunnyMack

I'll second the dislike of fiber optic sites!
Sharpie marker time Jason

I'd bet the Walther will shoot a different brand better than that.
I remember those golden bullets used to shoot so much better , I wonder what the new Remington Ranch Hand does on paper?

GunnyMack

Yes, that's what I read , 1 year is a short span ! To think you have one from that year is really something!

GunnyMack

Latest Handloader magazine has an article about the 25-20, AA9 is listed... I really need to find a pound or 2.

GunnyMack

Just another half a turn or two and id say you will have it nicely centered.

GunnyMack

I dont see humor.
What i do see is why a company would supply a cell phone number and texts with customers. Seems fishy to me Doc.

GunnyMack

I've got the dogs when you are ready Bill!

GunnyMack

That's a start !

I wasn't familiar with the 44-100, had to look it up. I don't think it will become very popular.

GunnyMack

That is a very fast, easy way Jay, I haven't tried it with a pheasant though.

GunnyMack

We had a fish stocking this morning, I brought a small bag of sample pepperoni for the guys to taste test. Everyone liked it. The kid that delivered the trout said ' that made the drive down here worthwhile!' So I gave him the rest of the bag to chew on for his hour and a half drive back! Quail are ...

GunnyMack

That is one of those things that us gun folks deal with. In your case 250 bucks for a one time use is just has to be swallowed, choking the whole way.
I highly doubt you'll find the 44-100 on one of the rental sites.

GunnyMack

Sorry to hear about his stroke, don't wish that on anyone.
Hopefully he can find the 44-100 reamer for you.

GunnyMack

Nice to see the iconic M1 getting a new lease on life!
A buddy of mines Dad took his to Quebec one year for a moose hunt. If I'm not mistaken he killed a bull.

GunnyMack

Chukar are fun to hunt. Hungarian partridge are a real hoot- they really talk to each other and covey up fast. Not to mention they normally don't fly far so getting back on them is easy.
Blue's are like sage brush mule deer - yuck.

GunnyMack

Drooling for grouse or as you Mainer's call em pa'tridge. We no longer have them here. Not enough new forest , too much old growth to support them. That's the advantages of logging! Last grouse I saw here was the late 80s on a deer drive. It flushed and I destroyed it with a load of 4 buck. Up in Qu...

GunnyMack

I hear ya Jay, Thanks bud!!

GunnyMack

Thanks Bill. I'm new to this, well it's been a long time since I've made sausage , well helped anyway. Years ago we would get at a minimum of 10 deer hanging, set a date for butchering/grinding and we would make sausage for a couple days! Breakfast, hot and sweet Italian. We would clean out the supe...

GunnyMack

Like Bill said, you have the Midas Touch!

GunnyMack

Success!- it tastes pretty good !!!

GunnyMack

So I've had a surplus of pheasant breasts in the freezer- a guy can only eat so much of it. I bought half a hog over the winter and had a bag of 'trimmings' . Found a commercial pepperoni mix and this morning I broke out my LEM Big Bite grinder and went to town grinding and stuffing. The 2nd batch i...

GunnyMack

I saw the Shooters World ' heavy handgun' is very close to 2400/296/H110/ #9 . I didn't see data, just that it's very close.

GunnyMack

Perfect!

GunnyMack

Past few days the speed has been all over the place but I took had to log in repeatedly. Seems fine yesterday and today...so far.

GunnyMack

This thread got me looking, Midway has both H&R and Federal mag ammo in stock. Some brass too. Not that I need either but others might be looking for ammo.

GunnyMack

That was my thinking too. Better ways to get to a PG stock but that would work.

GunnyMack

That Ballard is a real pretty thing!
I'm scratching my head trying to figure out why that model 12 stock is cut like that...

GunnyMack

I've seen that trimmer somewhere else... Guy by the name of RatDog.

Glad to see it's a success Nath!

GunnyMack

As a youngster I watched in awe as our Reverend dismantled a couple hog heads after boiling. He then ground all of it very fine and made scrapple. It was a day long process in the church kitchen.

GunnyMack

A few years before I attended gunsmith school in Trinidad CO a couple of students started to investigate what parts were needed to get a field piece back in working order. They only needed a firing pin I believe. They then turned a projectile and one night loaded it with a hand turned shell and fire...

GunnyMack

Scott, look at Texas Knife Makers supply. They will have finished blanks that just need scales/handles. That is easy enough to do !
That way you can pick and choose whatnlades Miss Lisa wants and you can use whatever handle material you like.

GunnyMack

Who'd thought Nath had a holy hand grenade?!

GunnyMack

Great use for an old file!

GunnyMack

Guns i already have that fit the bill AR in 450 Bushmaster 375 H&H 338 WM Benelli M1Super 90, 7 shot mag tube. Ruger 44 carbine Probably on the light side my Henry 41mag with BH on the hip. Or my 338 Federal( only SS gun I own) What I would prefer 9.3x74R in a double with ejectors! I dunno what ...

GunnyMack

Thankfully you survived the 'grey death' ! I had to shoot 2 different pheasants in self defense, one with the 28 at barrels length. The other didn't get quite as close- it took a bit for the adrenaline to wear off!
