With the approach speeds of the A-320, if the wind was that strong , the nose of the aircraft would have been pointed 70 degrees or so to the right. I would imagine max crosswind component of that aircraft was around 55knots or so. I don't know if they teach the cross controlled landing much anymore...

Prayers sent for all of you!

They don't make much money on the less inexpensive cars, so they try to sell you a much more expensive one so they can make more $$.

Went to find my daughter a car and trade in my old Cummins Dodge. Blue book is about $11K and they offered me $3K in trade!! Went elsewhere

Thunder50

When I make it down to the flat country down there, I usually try and stop by the gun shop in Mustang. Seems like a decent place.
Used to love to go to the old Southwest Shooters, when it was on main st. in OKC!!

If you go over to castboolits.gunloads.com, and scroll down to "swapping and selling" a guy--mike in CO--has 45acp brass at $40/1000 or $53/1400. You might see what else he has. He ships it in flat rate USPS boxes. Might save you some $$. Check out Midsouth for primers, or possibly Grafs.

My sister's political bent is more along the lines that she thinks Hilliary's sh%& doesn't stink. She is terrified that Obama will get the nomination. She says that the establishment in Congress will do all they can to put roadblocks in the way of the "outsider", if he does get elected...

Go to the store and get you some "dark" hot chocolate. LOT better than the milk chocolate stuff. You can even get you some "Dove" bites of dark chocolate and put about a half piece in your cup. Really good

Thunder50

Give the 45acp shot rounds (CCI) a try in your auto.

Thunder50

There is a guy over on castboolits.gunloads that had just had to replace his batteries and was wondering what to do with the old batteries. I think he had about 24 batteries and they lasted around 7 years. He might give you some pointers.

Thunder50

I put some garage floor absorbent on the top of the lead in the pot. That way the bullets heat up first before slumping into the mix. Read about that long time ago. I had a pot do the same thing, but I had a sized, lubed bullet fall off a table into the pot ( I used to cast sitting on the floor, the...

Thunder50

For the bit of difference in money, I would go with the Savage, especially if you are wanting one of the Ultra hunters they are coming out with. Handies have a few problems now and then. My transfer bar came apart at the range one day. Was a pain to bring home to the shop to fix it.

Thunder50

Personally, I always liked the looks of the 742 over the 740, so my vote is for the 742

Thunder50

90 meters is about 100 yards, and I usually sight in my rifles for 2.5" high at 100 yds. Some I go 3" high at 100yds, depending on the trajectory and what distance I expect.

Thunder50

Must be doing something wrong. I hardly get any stuff from them and can't remember getting any phone calls. Been a life member for over 30 years. Do get things wanting me to join, but then I notice my name has a mis-spelling on it, maye an "a" instead of the "o", is what I normal...

Thunder50

You will like the XLR. Mine would group 1.25" @ 100yds, open sights , using WW 300gr ammo, after firing a couple of fouling shots before firing for group.

Thunder50

Bit chilly up here right now. Lows vary 0-15degrees and highs 25-35degrees. Delta's maybe 2 degrees warmer. Figure April will be good for shooting as winds usually hit in late April and sometimes last till the end of May. Can blow 40+ for days on end and then, all of a sudden it gets fairly calm and...

Thunder50

C.T.,Let me know when you will be in the neighborhood. Maybe I can meet you there as it is just down the road from me, so to speak, about 40 miles. From Delta, go east on hwy92. It is just before you get to Rogers Mesa.

Thunder50

Tell him congratulations for all of us. Bet you are walking on air, to have a grandson as part of the long grey line.

Thunder50

I agree with Jayhawker. Impact velocity was too high. If they would have reduced the loads to around 2400fps for the BMG round, then things would have been different. Shoot a 405gr cast bullet out of a 45-70 (hypotheticially speaking only!!) at an Elk at 5 yds and it might disintigrate after minimal...

Thunder50

Seems to me to be a way of using taxpayers money to bribe the voters to vote for them.

Thunder50

I think the 38-72 in the rebored 1895 is going to be a powerhouse, close to the 405. I designed the reamer to use 405 brass, and have rechambered a handi-rifle from 38-55 to 38-72. Using Hawk 280 gr slugs, it would shoot 7/8" groups at 100 for 5 shots, at a little over 2500fps. Backed it down t...

Thunder50

Definitely a GOOD buy. You did well grasshopper

Thunder50

I was traveling through Gunninson, CO last year and wondered why the truck was getting so cold. Looked at the temp gauge and it was dropping as I drove through town. I believe it was -36 at about 11pm. Got out of the truck to get gas, without my coat, thinking a minute or so would be tolerable. Wron...

Thunder50

I have a Browning 1895 in 30-40 Krag that I plan on sending to Jess Uncompagh (sp?) to have him rebore it to 0.375" and chamber it for 38-72 Win. I understand that the only bolts made for the Browning were for the '06 case head size and the 30-40/405 head size. I wouldn't think that you would h...

Thunder50

Shouldn't cost much more than $325 for the setup. You can pick up the Savage guns sometimes for around $150 and I believe Jess does the reboring/rechambering for $145. Add shipping both ways and you should be set to go.

Thunder50

Ganjiro hit the nail on the head. I picked up a savage 325 and was thinking of sending it off to Jess Uncompagh (sp?) and having it rebored, for a bolt .375 (To go with my 375 Marlin!!)

Thunder50

Not too good with pics. Here are a few. You might be able to see the blems on the top rear of the buttstock. Cleaned the bore--pristine. Supposedly, guy brought it into the shop and said it was his dad's and he didn't shoot so had no use for it. Just sitting in a closet. Now to get some dies!! http:...

Thunder50

Picked it up this morning. Once the anasthetic wears off from the 2 hours in the dentist chair and I am not so shaky, pics will follow. He dropped the price $50 for me-- $600.

Thunder50

First real lever was a 92 win in 25-20 with a sewer bore. Had it relined by V.M. Starr. Second was a Marlin 39A. Third was an 1895 Marlin. Still have all of them.

Thunder50

Congradulations on the fine sword! Thank you and all those in the service , or have served, for keeping us free!

Thunder50

Local gun shop just got in a 99M. Metal is probably 95% and the wood is prbably 90% except for a spot on the top of stock near the butt (about the size of a quarter) that has had the finish damaged/scraped off. It also has an older Redfield 2x-7x scope with fine crosshairs. Has a reciol pad on it, b...

Thunder50

Was at a gun store yesterday. They had a Winchester, tang safety, out of a run of 500, matte finish, full mag, octagonal barrel,for $1,200. Is that abut what its worth? Thanks

Thunder50

I watch CSI, but sometimes the goofs can be hilarious. Like when somebody was killed with a blank and when she measured the card wad, it was three hundred fifty seven thousandths in circumference, so that made it a 38

. She needs to take 5 grade math again

Thunder50

On its way. Good luck to him.

Thunder50

Was at the local gun emporium yesterday and looking at the levers. Saw a new 39A and got to thinking about Remington buying Marlin and wondering if some models might be dropped. The 39A being one of them. Should I buy the thing as an investment or let someone else get it and enjoy one of the best 22...

Thunder50

My 94 (44mag) does real well with 290gr swc bullets. Haven't tried anything heavier.

Thunder50

I believe that the results you show , is when you have reached a max efficiency load. You get diminishing returns with more powder and quite often, groups open up. You might not be at max load, but you are probably getting close to it.

Thunder50

Makes me wonder if they will keep marking them "Marlin" or will change it to "Remington". You will be buying a Remington 336 instead!

Thunder50

Ruger MkI Bull barrel. Had a smooth bore. Factory forgot to rifle it. Wondered why I couldn't hit anything with it. Found out why. Took it back to the gun shop and got a 6 7/8 bbl'd job instead. Hauled alot of hay to pay for it and wanted a shooter. Sure wish I still had it. Remington 700bdl in 6.5 ...

Thunder50

Loctite "red" is a pretty stout item. You would need heat to remove the part. Make sure there is not any oil there or it probably won't work. Loctite stud and bearing mount is even stronger, I believe.

Thunder50

The 262 would be fine. The P-51D would be great(had just enough cash to buy one in '72 when I got my license--worth 30X what I would have paid)or possibly a P-38, P-40, or P-47!!! Personally the p-38 would be after the 262. How about an F-86

Thunder50

In case anyone might be interested, I think it would have been impossible to seat two 290gr SWC bullets in a 44 mag case.

When loading the ammo, I would take a bullet and put it in the mouth of the belled case, while in the loading block. Would also be tough to get two bullets in a case that way.

Thunder50

Don't know about evidence, but I had bought a S&W M29 sihlouette gun and proceeded to take the top strap at a 90degree angle or so. I had won a pound of AA#9 powder at a sihlouette match and wanted to try it in the new gun. Loaded 13 new cases with individually weighted powder charges, visually ...

Thunder50

I;ll second the 357 super mag, but also add the 445 super mag and the 500 S&W. Would prefer the 445 super mag first, then 357 then 500

Thunder50

Put a check in the mail this afternoon. Probably get there after Christmas.

Prayers sent for you and your dear wife.

They should have pulled up and gotten off the plane anyhow. What would TSA do, what could they do against a planeload of MARINES? One would have been more that a match for all the TSA there!!

Thunder50

Been a Red Sox fan since the late 50's. As long as they beat those D#$mn Yankees, everything is right with the world!!

Thunder50

Also, if it is warm out, don't stretch the wire so tight it sounds like a guitar string being plucked. When it gets cold and the metal contracts, it will break!!. Take bandaids/antiseptic as you will shed some blood along the way.

Thunder50

They are a hoot to shoot. And the looks you get at the range are priceless! Kinda wish I had kept mine, but someone gave it a good home.
