You look in the bedroom? load testing in there?

Lol. Yeah, we aren’t teenagers.

Scott Tschirhart

Great information Steve. Thank you.

I got married earlier this year and moved. I cannot find that dang chronograph anywhere!

Scott Tschirhart

I need to get my knees done. I'm quite limited these days.

Scott Tschirhart

In both my Linebaugh Ruger and the Rossi carbine, I had to increase the diameter of the 270 SAA bullet [Montana Bullet Works] to .454 in order to get them to operate like they should. I had leading problems in both guns. But the .454 bullets seem to seal the gasses behind each and accuracy really tu...

Scott Tschirhart

That looks great! Good job.

Scott Tschirhart

I never used that bullet again either. In my .308s, I switched to the Remington 150 gr Corlockt factory load. Never had to shoot a deer twice after that.

Scott Tschirhart

I absolutely love the .45-70. But either cartridge will do the job.

The .45-70 has just been a good friend for too many years. Now, if I could get a levergun chambered in my beloved .50-70, I would jump on it fast!

Not heresy at all. It is a fine levergun cartridge.

Scott Tschirhart

I don't see any of this passing with the current makeup of the Texas Legislature. Our current Governor is not going to sign off either.

Scott Tschirhart

You definitely got your moneys worth out of those tumblers!!!!

Scott Tschirhart

Back around 1989, I shot a buck in East Texas with a .308 165gr Nosler Balistic Tip over a heavy charge of 4064. Placement was right behind the shoulder and the shot was less than 20 yards with the deer perfectly broadside. That deer ran off and left a great blood trail. I waited a while and then tr...

Scott Tschirhart

I'll order it today! Thanks.

Scott Tschirhart

My wife keeps stealing mine! Took her to the CSA and she fell in love with the dang thing!

Scott Tschirhart

TP is already leaving the shelves here in San Antonio, I understand that Minneapolis has a shortage as well. Just as in primers, I will not get caught without a substantial stash of either again. I can make do without TP, but I don't think my wife would like it so much and she doesn't need to have t...

Scott Tschirhart

God bless you and keep you, and make His face to shine upon you. Prayers for your speedy recovery.

Scott Tschirhart

I find that working from home, I am actually more productive than I was driving to my office every day.

So, I still haven't done all of the needed projects around here.

Scott Tschirhart

Very good. I've never used anything but factory loads in my old 94 Trapper.

Scott Tschirhart

Frankly, I am of the age that I do not see myself taking to the streets with an AR-15. If I need a gun, I would probably be better served with a 12 ga and a .30-30. When I go out to the ranch, I always take a lever or bolt gun and a .45 Colt revolver. I seem to wear a .357 more than anything else. E...

Scott Tschirhart

Interesting. If I had to hunt with a shotgun, I think I would get one of those H&R single shot 10 ga guns and shoot the 3.5 inch OO buck load. 18 pellets ought to crumple any deer in the woods!

Scott Tschirhart

What a wonderful photo!

Scott Tschirhart

You can bet that when I am on the ranch one or more of these will be handy.

Scott Tschirhart

I have one .357, one .44 mag, and two .45 Colt.

Scott Tschirhart

I miss the old Winchester Silvertip loading. The 170 was my absolute favorite.

This is one cartridge that I have never loaded for, always using factory ammo (which has never let me down). I love that .30-30 cartridge.

Scott Tschirhart

We went through that in early April. I had it worse than my wife, though I worried more about her because of a compromised immune system. The worst part for me was the muscle pain in my back and thighs. But I was foggy in my brain for more than two weeks after the other symptoms went away. Glad you ...

Scott Tschirhart

I spent most of the day in front of this computer. But I am well past my billing quota for the year and I have two months left. I'm not really sure why I continue to work like this. But tomorrow morning, I want to sit in a quiet spot and wait for a buck or hog to come close enough for me to blast it...

That's exactly what I was thinking! That would hurt to shoot.

Scott Tschirhart

I have one of the old JM Cowboy Marlins in .45-70 that comes in a close second. Its surprisingly light and handy. Can't argue with the .45-70 at all.

Scott Tschirhart

Your guns are a lot prettier than mine!

Scott Tschirhart

OUCH! Those are such fine rifles, I hate to see that someone did that.

Scott Tschirhart

What is your absolute favorite levergun? Not the prettiest but the one that you just love for personal reasons? Mine is this old Winchester 94. It’s been with me in a patrol car in Houston, it served admirably while I was a Deputy Sheriff in South Texas. It’s been into Mexico before the more recent ...

OK Doc.......I agree...either way the left will riot....loot....burn.....and as long as they stay in the inner cities I don't care.

Scott Tschirhart

Probably overkill with a Remington 125 gr. .357 load that I normally carry in this gun. I chanced up on him and three siblings at close range. We are overrun with pigs right now. In the cooler weather this is one of my favorite carry guns, it is nice to know that I can still put them where I want th...

Scott Tschirhart

Trying this out. My old pre-27 FBI gun and a piggy I shot this week. Crock pot size.

Scott Tschirhart

Jim,

I'm still shooting your old Rossi .38/.357. Still as slick as it was the first time I saw it in Raton.

I believe that was the year that they took that embarrassing photo of us picking up .38 Special off the ground outside of the housing unit.

Scott Tschirhart

All is well here in South Texas Brother Jim. I'm out killing pigs when I am not working.

Scott Tschirhart

Thank you Brothers!

Scott Tschirhart

Very nice Jim.

Scott Tschirhart

I love that slip gun!

I followed Nate's video and I have never had trouble taking a 92 apart, but there is something to be said for the simplicity of the Marlin.

Scott Tschirhart

I don't experience any issues with mixed .357 brass in my Rossi 92. Been shooting a lot of the same brass for many years.

Scott Tschirhart

Mark Hargrove beat me to the one gun Jeff had that I wanted. I'm happy it went to a fellow Shootist and I just cannot be mad at Mark.

Scott Tschirhart

I have a 16 inch Model 94 Winchester that I carried in my patrol car back in the 1980s. I bought it used from Collector's Firearms in Houston and I still have it. Later, I carried it as a Deputy and it has served me well. I don't know how many rounds I have fired through the barrel. Maybe not a lot,...

Scott Tschirhart

I like it too. Particularly the sound of a Winchester 86 or 71.

I'm in the South Texas brush country. I've shot many more deer under 100 yards than I have over. That’s Linebaugh #33 in .45 Colt and a fine but a little rough old Rossi 92

Best regards,

Scott Tschirhart

I've been too "busy" with work to hunt or fish for the past few years. That is a big mistake in my estimation. However, I'm working on it. I've got an old .45 Colt Ruger with a moderate load of Unique behind a 270 SAA bullet that I will walk around with this year. Recently I found out that...

Scott Tschirhart

Jim,

You should have told me to suck in my gut when you took that photo!!!

That is a fun and interesting gun.

Best regards,

Scott

Scott Tschirhart

I would sure like to see a rebirth of the Texan 336 carbine.

Scott Tschirhart

I use mine mainly for an old Ruger Bisley Single Six that John Linebaugh did for me 20 plus years ago. It makes the round so much more effective.

Best regards,

Scott

Scott Tschirhart

Jim,

I was reminded of these old photos when we got together in Arkansas a few weeks back.

I ought to dig through some of mine as well.

Buena suerte Amigo,

Scott
