Glad you weren't injured.
Jeff Cooper once shot the glass window with the dials on his gas meter. It happens to everyone sometime.

piller

Glad you are ok. I read an interesting article the other day of a guy that had a neighbor that was alway very slow to remove his livestock once he told them they were on his place. He decided to run them into his on squeeze chute and decorated the cattle by using bleach and putting different WORDS ...

At the Dallas Safari Club show last Friday, I was told at the Freedom Arms booth that shooting a .38 Special in a .357 Mag chamber would cause rust in the chamber and ruin the cylinder. Has anyone on here ever experienced that?

piller

I did DNA testing. One of the companies told me that I lacked some genes that were necessary. Another has refused my swab because they say it is not human. The one that accepted me told me that my ancestry was English, Scottish, Welsh, Hungarian, Jewish, and Italian. That does not fit at all with fa...

A few fears ago, 86er was messing with a 44 Special for hunting. I do not recall what loads he was using, nor what his conclusions were. I wonder how the Ruger GP100 5 shot 44 Special handles. It looks a bit meatier than some. As far as damage from getting shot, I do not want to find out.

piller

Sounds as if the 357 Max was a victim of bad publicity. Never knew anyone who had one, but it sounds as if the bad reputation is not deserved.

piller

I have used it in .45 Colt for a Ruger level load. Good accuracy.

piller

I have accidentally loaded a .30-30 in the 32 WS. Accuracy is not any good at all. 50 yards and missed the target completely 3 out of 5. Figured it out and right back to tiny little groups.

You are not floundering around with anything else? Cod you really be happy with only one?

Friends out in Ennis, TX have a bunch of yotes around. I need to get a dying rabbit call, or use my squirrel disk squeaker to call them a bit closer and use my 17 WSM on them. 25 grains at nearly 3000 fps makes them slough off the mortal coil really well. I need a green spotlight. All it should take...

Born in that month between the end of Boomers and Xers. Some of the Xers are not bad folks. Gen Y, Millenials, and whatever the kids just hitting 21 are in for a rough life. Too many of them have been babied for too long. Their education was abysmal.

The older we get, the more forgetful we get. Nothing wrong with mnemonic sayings.

The Krag had a smooth action, and it was accurate. Maybe he was their sharpshooter.

I don't have anything that qualifies as a Barbecue gun. That mastodon ivory looks good.

They seem to be dimensionally identical but they obviously are not.

I have noticed the same issue.

piller

Don't let those experiences become lost. Even in our modern world, we need to be reminded of riding trails and of being out in the wilderness.

piller

No problems yet for me. Still, touching my toes sounds like a string of Black Cat firecrackers popping.

I load the .327 with 115 grain flat points meant for the .32-20. H110 and they are accurate and fun.

piller

No personal experience with them, but those who can shootbdo seem to like them.

piller

45 Colt in the 800 to 850 fps range is pretty pleasant to shoot. Those 230 grain bullets punch deep enough that I sure don't want to be hit with one. I tend toward Hodgdon powders as they are more common in my area.

piller

I was never a big fan of 9mm or 5.56, but it doesn't hurt to have something to shoot them. I found a few primers and some powder at my local Academy Sports and Outdoors. I try to shoot as often as I can.

piller

Knees and shoulders are stiff. Every time I lean over, it sounds like a string of firecrackers going off.

piller

Sounds fun, or frustrating. My terriers can open doors. No, I haven't seen it happen. Just come home to them in rooms that were closed.

piller

Ruger gas operated. 23.5 grains H110 and a WLP primer under a 240 grain jhp. Lighter loads do not cycle the action as well as I like. Winchester White box works. I learned to avoid the cheaper stuff. It doesn't always work even for practice. The pigs have never complained.

Expecting a 1 shot stop is probably a good way to get killed.

Only 34 years for my wife and I. One great Uncle made it to 73 years before she died of cancer. His Mother did not think she was right for him.

Had the Fauci Virus once. Before the vaccine came out. I lost all sense of taste and smell. One shot of the vaccine and at least 50 TIAs, and 1 major stroke. I am on blood thinners for life. If I get a mosquito bite, it bleeds for 5 minutes. No more Covid shots for me. A week in the ICU was enough. ...

As a kid I worked for the City Parks Department. We put in underground sprinklers all over the parks there. I learned from my Dad to put pvc together. A couple of the kids put almost 1/4 th of a can of cement per joint. Everything they did had to be fixed. Less is best with pvc cement.

Glad you healed OK.

I have been to the Grand Canyon, but that is about all I have seen in Arizona.

When outdoors like that, if I find that I am trailing someone, I give a friendly shout. From there we can work out a mutually agreeable situation. If they want to be left alone, why not? Things can occur in the back country, and it is always helpful to not antagonize those you meet on the trail. I c...

Is anyone making them anymore? If the last place Paco was having them made would make them, even as a special order, I know of a few that would be ordered.

piller

Sounds like it is enough for almost anything. No experience with the 44 Special, but those numbers seem to be in a good range. Enough power without a lot of recoil. How often do you really need more? Probably not all that often.

piller

B24s mentioned. A common name for them was MY ACHIN' BACK. One of about a dozen with that name was flown off of Fiji diring WWII. I guess they caused some unpleasant time while flying them.

I have a couple hundred rounds still loaded. 2 or 3 hundred lead bullets ready to reload.

Keep lookinh. Some stuff is coming back.

Take a pepper packet from a fast food restaurant and keep it in a ziploc bag with your hunting gear, your range bag, and your fishing equipment.

Proof that even knowing what to avoid doesn't always make you avoid it. Having bandages, super glue, and black pepper when hunting or shooting is always a good idea. For those who are on blood thinners, black pepper sprinkled on the bleeding areas stops the bleeding and clots it faster than anythin...

I have a Mossberg 500 in 12 gauge. It came with the spare rifled barrel. It is the 3 inch magnum version for both barrels. I have never used 3 inch in it. It just doesn't sound fun anymore.

KelTec sent me the spring and guide rod when my son lost them. Taurus made a good one about the same size.

I do not consider the Fascists of Antifa to be part of our Country. Same with BLM, and a few others. I love my Country, and seriously dislike its enemies. If they start a war, I would have no hesitation in ending the threat as quickly and expeditiously as possible. I choose to NOT start the war, but...
