The lucky passenger was James May from the BBC Top Gear programme, he has a pilots license but I bet that's the most unforgettable ride he will ever take. Wow! I really enjoyed "James May at the edge of space" where he rode in the U2. He gave as much information as he was allowed and you ...

I wonder if those people who think they will shoot out to 500 yards truly realize what the ballistics are for their caliber at that range. I doubt that many of them do. I know there are some folks who can and do shoot well at that distance, but under field conditions I don't think that the average d...

Good news. You both will be in my continued prayers for healing.

Nice looking gun, and it looks like it is accurate. Your daughter is pretty, too. You are a lucky man. Hope that rifle never lets you down and hope your daughter always enjoys shooting with you.

Richard M. who owns Action Outdoor Adventures, the place 86er takes a lot of us, was telling one time that someone he hired was wearing Jovan Musk and had to climb a tree to get away from a bull elk. The elk was very attracted to the scent from what Richard said. After hearing that, I just don't use...

Around here, one should never ask why someone wants a levergun shich is factory made in the caliber desired. Instead, we should help feed that need to have one of every type and caliber made just to be able to shoot them when we can. This is a group of people who all have that sickness which makes u...

Joe, you might just want to get yourself checked by a good Doctor. As AJMD429 could tell you, sometimes there are other reasons for lack of ambition such as low testosterone, low thyroid hormone, and a few others. I am not a Doctor and I can't tell you what is wrong, but it really sounds as if somet...

I have a Mini-30 and everything said above fits my experience with it. I have an aftermarket magazine which is useless and one which works great, both from the same manufacturer. Go Figure! For fun, reliability, and ease of shooting, they are great.

What bothers me the most is that in California, the murderers will probably be back on the street in less than a year total time from arrest to freedom. Murder of anyone is just plain wrong.

piller

When the murderer is found, he should be given a fair trial, found guilty, and punished by the laws of Louisiana. I am not asking for more, but I demand no less. Killing an unarmed man who is defending his wife is something for which I would gladly take the killer out into the wilderness and nail hi...

Yes, it is possible that the powder has changed. IMR 4227 and H4227 are an example. They both were available at one time, but now there is just IMR4227 and they are very close, but not the same. I would not use the old load data because if there is a change in the powder, you could cause a problem. ...

Joe, that is material for a book, or at the very least a magazine article. Some stories should be shared. She sounds like one of the great ones.

I have used Li'L Gun in my .480 quite a bit, and no it should not be used with reduced loads. It starts to give a lot more variation in average velocity when the loads are close to the lower end of the listing on Hodgdon's website. Like 296/H110, it gives me better consistency and accuracy when load...

I have used Starline in .480 Ruger, and find it to need less working after firing than Hornady brass or the nickel plated stuff from Speer. The nickel plated cases have a shorter life, 6 reloads and they are showing case mouth splits. Starline brass is on 20th reloading and still looks perfect. The ...

I like LiL'Gun for pistol loads, but in a carbine you need to understand that it burns very hot. Rapid firing will make the barrel too hot to touch. You might want to check out IMR 4227. In a carbine, a slower powder usually gives higher velocity over the really fast pistol powders. This was a tip g...

My wife prefers fishing, but she will hunt deer with her .30-30. She hates birds and says they STINK. My daughter, Sighthunter, loves hunting. For next year I need to get her some time with a shotgun and let her try dove hunting. Joe, your wife might just have lost interest in hunting because the bo...

I have a S&W Model 99 compact in 40 caliber which loves 165 grain hollow points. In a tuckable holster it is invisible and easily accesible. I would not wish to use it on a bear or one of the bigger wild hogs.

Good grief. Back when I jumped from 800 feet I at least had a parachute on and a static line to make sure it opened. Climbing that without a parachute seems a little risky to me.

Happy Birthday Marines. In the Army I trained with some of you down in Camp Lejuene. Semper Fi.

I have hunted with 86er a couple of times, and the closest to shooting livestock was shooting wild hogs at a feeder. BUT that was a challenge as I was using a handgun at 15 yards and they kept spotting me and it took about 6 hours for me to finally get one. The elk my daughter, Sighthunter, got was ...

I would never use anyones reloads, and I am now very cautious about which loaded ammo I buy after a bad situation with some Houston Cartridge Company 9mm ammunition. As far as fillers go, it seems reasonable to me that anything compressible should be stuffed in to the point that it becomes almost so...

It is probably worth mentioning, but to see the colors in the steel when heating, it is best done in some type of shade and not in the sunlight. Bright sunlight makes it more difficult to tell the color change. Some folks use a magnet to test for temperature as when carbon steel gets hot enough to b...

+1 on disliking zero tolerance policies. They usually are put in place to controll rather than protect.

+1. They will go up in price, and investments which go up in value are always a good idea.

I have both a .270 and a .30-06, and I like both of them. I don't really think there would have been much difference with using a 150 grain .270 versus a 165 grain .30-06 in battlefield situations. In everything I have read or heard of about battles, things rarely go according to plan or statistics....

As in most endeavors, different tools are for different applications. Scopes are just another tool which can be used. I use scopes on my bolt actions, and for shots over 100 yards. Neither side of this debate is truly wrong, but as you pointed out by telling that you couldn't see to shoot with the i...

I have a DPMS. It has never had a single failure. I am going to replace the trigger soon as I want a smoother, adjustable pull.

Yes, Browning was a genius who could think these things up in his head. Again, the 1911 was simple as compared to other designs of the time. Adirondakjack pointed out the example of the automatic transmission on front wheel drive cars, and how someone made it simple as compared to the other designs....

piller

What's a motto with you? :roll: The 1911 is a relatively simple design compared to most other semi-auto handguns of the period. Compare it and you will see. It is also rugged, reliable, and accurate. Even as fumble fingered as I am with taking firearms apart and reassembling them, I can take my 1911...

AJMD429 is telling it to you straight about doctors underprescribing pain medicines, especially in the initial phase.

I tried to lear string theory, but I just couldnt push it into my head. I even had a guitar playing friend who didn't understand string theory. We both could see that strings were more than just a theory.

Aquilla Super Colibri rounds out of a .22lr revolver. From 30 feet it sounds like someone clapping their hands. It is about a 20 grain pointed .22lr bullet at around 450 fps. They will kill rabbits and squirrels with ease, and I have killed a Water Moccasin with them once. I would be willing to give...

I have a .45 Colt revolver, but not the rifle. However, the pistol has taken 1 deer at about 30 yards using factory silvertip loads. It was a good clean kill with only 1 shot needed. The doe made 2 jumps and piled up. The leveraction should only be better.
