That’s what I remember about the revolver as well Sarge!

Scott Tschirhart

I’ll bet that would be a great load in a Winchester Winder Musket! They sure are………this one was made by Winchester using left over receivers from the military contract and was made in 1928. (barrel date) in order to sell these late 1885’s, Winchester chambered them in L.R….. This baby will pop the ...

Scott Tschirhart

If so, were you able to use .45 ACP dies?

Scott Tschirhart

I’m looking for an old Skeeter Dobie grant story.

I think it was titled Midnight Ride and Dobie had retrieved a stolen horse and had been wounded in the scrape.

As I recall he found a windmill and shot a deer with his revolver as he was laid up.

Anybody remember this one?

Scott Tschirhart

Welcome home Jim!

This morning I was honored to be the first elected President of the Sons of the Republic of Texas, Henri Castro Chapter

Scott Tschirhart

I’ll bet that would be a great load in a Winchester Winder Musket!

Scott Tschirhart

I have not had the pleasure to meet the man, but I certainly enjoyed his writings over the years.

Scott Tschirhart

Sounds like an effective way to get more capacity in a shotgun.

Scott Tschirhart

I really should shoot a .22 more.

Typically I shoot on Saturday mornings but I have limited time so I have concentrated on the bigger guns.

I think I would be better off slowing down and shooting 50 rounds through the.22 first for accuracy and then shoot 10-20 rounds through a bigger sixgun.

Pretty much the perfect load for a .38 Special.

Just the thing to have in a war bag with a 310 tong tool kit.

Scott Tschirhart

That’s really cool!

Scott Tschirhart

Very interesting Griff.

I have some of the Cowboy brass but I haven’t loaded any of it.

Scott Tschirhart

do the cows ever sit on people and eat their guts and ignore the screaming? because that's the sometimes end caused by an animal that can outrun a quarter horse. and silently sneak up on you. i know of three people who died that way. Maybe it’s because I still need more coffee… but I had to read th...

A second vote for the Q Trash Panda.

I shot my Mini Fix today with the suppressor just to check zero.

I have nothing but great things to say about this one.

Scott Tschirhart

Wasn’t the .45 Colt designed to shoot horses?

I know they do a job on a full sized cow.

Scott Tschirhart

I suppose living in Texas probably helps inform my opinions.

If I lived in Alaska I might well think differently.

Scott Tschirhart

I’ve thought long and hard about this….yeah I know, I’m not that bright. I can narrow it down to one cartridge and one load. I could get by quite happily with the.45 Colt and the factory Remington 250 grain load. The box says that it clocks 750 fps but in my Colt it averages 830 in my 4 3/4 inch Colt.

Scott Tschirhart

Nothing wrong with it.

I just want to make a gift of it to you.

I load dang near everything on my Dillon

Lyman T-Mag 2

GunnyMack

If you want this one, I will unbolt it and send it to you

My treat.

I even have the priming arm.

Scott Tschirhart

I like all my .22s. But if I had to pick a favorite it would be this old flat gate.

Your feet are the best thing for you, they won't run off without you, throw you, step on your toes. Although an equine is a decent early alert system.

I walk a mile every morning with the dog. He loves it and it’s good for me.

Scott Tschirhart

Bullseye is my go to powder for the .38 Special and will be as long as I can get Bullseye.

But I don’t try to go that low on powder charges.

I understand that Bullseye was used to load factory .45 Colt ammunition for many years.

Scott Tschirhart

Thanks for the update Jim.

I expect that this technology is only going to get better.

I had that same thought.

Scott Tschirhart

There is very little I cannot accomplish (for me) with my Winchester 1892 in 45 colt, with the exception of long range of course. Hunting- check Home/Property Defense- check Plinking- check Saddle Gun- check Long Range- well, I will give it a whirl 🤣 That lines up with my thinking as well. Think ab...

It might be possible to get a whole lot of fuel out of dead computerized vehicles. Depending on the circumstances.

Only if they are freshly dead. The alcohol in our current gasoline doesn’t store well for too long.

Scott Tschirhart

I found a dead guy in the hallway of an apartment building. He had a tiny hole in the middle of his chest and he had a cigarette before he died as the intact ash was on his chest and chin as his head was propped up by the wall. .25 ACP fired from a Raven pistol at close range. I believe I found the ...

Shoots ok in the carbine 869 fps from the SAA and 1127 fps from the carbine. Have you chamfered the chamber mouth? My '73s or Henry won't feed a semi-wadcutter. I have to "jiggle" the rifle a little to bounce the cartridge around that sharp edge of the bullet. I haven’t done anything to i...

Scott Tschirhart

I’m with Griff on this one. But they sure are nimble and quiet

270 gr .45 “Keith” next to a .44 authentic Keith bullet.

If anyone is a bleeding heart about prickly pear cactus would have a huge problem if they see all the shot up plants on my place

I don’t really know. But out to 50 yards it seems to do well

Scott Tschirhart

Sure blasts big holes in cactus.

Scott Tschirhart

And it is just short enough that it feeds well in my 73 Winchester

Scott Tschirhart

I may have found what Im looking for.

Rim Rock 270 SWC sized to .454 and with a huge nose.

But it shoots well at 8 gr Unique and fills the chamers.

Scott Tschirhart

Probably lots of practice

Scott Tschirhart

I only took two sixguns to the ranch today. Makes me wonder why I own anything else..

i'll be amazed if we ever see it issued. This is about the fourth "new Army rifle" they have adopted since the M16 came on the scene...

Exactly.

Scott Tschirhart

That is really convicting me! I do not have the ability to shoot 1000 yards. I’m no commando and I don’t kick in doors anymore. I’m no “operator”. I have a very simple A2 in the truck. It doesn’t have optics. It doesn’t even have a white light on it. I also keep a short 12 ga in there. I can’t imagi...

Scott Tschirhart

Comments that I agree with:

Scott Tschirhart

Everyone tells me that I should try Universal but I’ve never seen it available on the shelves.

Scott Tschirhart

That makes sense. And it’s a real problem that we have put our military into a situation of shortage as well.

Scott Tschirhart

I have that one as well. It’s giving me ideas about a replacement for Unique.

Scott Tschirhart

Very artistic!
