Hello! Welcome Back!

If I remember correctly, I had to re-register here in 2007....I was rock steady without the hyphen before. I do know this was one of the first sites I joined when we got the internet. The other site was the old Marlin Owners site. Remember Big Mortie and his wife (287lbs) and shotting squill and bee...

Never tried that, but it looks tasty.

A favorite snack while hunting with my Grandpaw and great uncle was a slice of hoghead cheese on a saltine cracker with a splash of tabasco sauce....

mmm....now I'm craving some hoghead cheese.....

Listen, one thing.....Squill may not seem like much, one or two at a time...

But in a group...all riled up and hungry...

Man, you watch your a#*.....

For an automatic, a 1911 is hard to beat in my estimation.

Me too, especially a Commander-sized in 9mm these days....

Many years ago, my friend and I were walking around an old pond shooting at turtles and snakes with our .22's. Partner shot a piece of thick plastic water pipe that was left over on the bank with his 10/22. The bullet ricocheted back and hit me in the side, just above my belt. Hurt bad and scared me...

Maybe the 22 Hornet ammo on the shelf is for the new Ruger Super Redhawk in 22 Hornet....I really don't know how many of these Ruger thinks they will sell. Like others here have mentioned, i have never bought or fired any factory 22 Hornet ammo. Strictly a handload round for me. Oddly enough, I use ...

Hell I know about Little Egypt and Tempest Storm.

That's why I love this forum. I learn something new everyday.

I had to look up Little Egypt and Tempest Storm.....now I know what Ray Wylie Hubbard was singing about! Ramona!

My GrandPa would save deer livers to use for trot-line bait.

In my mind's eye, I can see him in his Liberty overalls sitting in the back of the old handmade wooden boat, slicing deer liver into cubes on a wood boat paddle laid across the gunnels....

I wore out a couple of Ruger MkII 22LR semi-autos in my youth. My favorite practice was to dump 500 rounds in my pockets and walk around in an old gravel pit. When a target of opportunity such as a tin can, dirt clod etc. caught my eye, I would draw, aim and fire. Over the many 1000's of rounds, I g...

I wonder how many were sold...and where they are today....

what can they do that a regular oven and microwave can't?

Well, I have found I can cook a pretty good ribeye steak in my air fryer.

Just season the steak with salt, black pepper & Tony Chachere's and set temp at 400 and keep an eye on it until about medium rare.

I hear you.....and I also hear a high pitched ringing constantly. When I was a teenager, I fired many hundreds of full powered 357 magnums through my Ruger Blackhawk revolver without any ear protection. Rifles or shotguns did not seem too loud, but the old 357 would ring them ears. Back then, I don'...

A few years back, there was some talk about changing the Ole Miss Rebel mascot.

I called into a local AM talk show and suggested that they change the mascot to a Possum. Radio host asked why Possum?

I said, "Because they play dead at home and get killed on the road."

Very interesting!

Well, I guess I need to get out more. The scarcity of some Alliant powders is news to me.

Blue Dot and Unique are my most used powders. Everything from revolver loads to shotgun loads.

W231 is my favorite for .38 SPL & 45ACP.

The last new cartridge that got me was the .260 Remington. I got one when they first came out. I put a Leupold 6x scope on and had my rifle doctor work on the trigger and glass-bed the action. Five shot groups of 1 inch or less at 100 yards is normal. I use Hornady 140gr Interbond bullets and IMR489...

Thanks for the heads up, AJMD429. I watched the first 3 episodes of Elkhorn this evening.

Very good in my opinion. I'll be watching episode 4 this coming Thursday night.

Everything tastes better fried in Lard instead of some chemical concoction called "vegetable oil".

What rifle does the soldier have at the 5:18 mark?

Similar to but not exactly like an M16. Not a Stoner M63 either.

Is this even a real photograph or some kind of AI generated image??

I'm with y'all on the Less Recoil BandWagon. My "big" rifle these days is a 260 Remington. Noise is also factor. In the woods or hunting, if I have to touch off a handgun round without any ear protection, I would much rather it be a 240gr 44cal at 1,000fps than a 158gr .357 at 1,400fps. Th...

Ain't that the truth. Long gone are my days of all day hiking, hunting and packing out game.

Today, I had to sadly stand and watch the grandkids play on the creek bank 'cause I couldn't walk down the little trail and get back up the bluff.

I cast #4Buck, 0Buck and 00Buck using molds from Sharpshooter. Glad I jumped on that bandwagon, years ago. The Sharpshooter molds do not have as thick of a sprue the Lee mold appears to have. However, using a small side cutter can almost completely remove the sprue. Check out Bubba Rountree Outdoors...
