I arrived in CA 1986. Gas was 69cent/gallon. (Oh yes it was). I could work for 1 hour and fill up twice. 10 gallon tank.
Try doing that today.

Guys,
sorry about the diabolical typing and typo's. I think I am need of a new keyboard. Maybe even some new glasses.

243dave, Youmay not notice a decrease in mpg when you switch on your lights, but there is. Where is the extra power coming from to drive the geneator that little bit harder? What vehicles are getting another 10mpg? Rusty, I dont think so. California would love to get more taxes on anything they can....

GRIZZ, Making browns gas from electricity isnt useless, just pointless if you have to burn fuel to do it. Alternators do not put out vast amounts of electricity all the time. Its peak output occurs after staring an engine, when the battery has to be replenishe. All the remaining electrics in the veh...

Hi GRIZZ, Yes there are downsides to every type of vehicle powered by different fuels. It depends on how much you want to haul and how far you need to travel. That is the beauty of gasoline, and also the reason why we still use the piston engine. Its cheap and relatively reliable. Many years ago in ...

AJMD429 has it exacty right. I have explained the principals of the combustion engines and their fuels to dozens of people over the years both in scientific and laymans terms, but few seem willing, able or want to believe the facts. I could write pages on this stuff, but here are a few facts, and my...

I think the trigger needs a little lightening though.

Bullet Bob, If that was shot at 100yds, that is a good group. Try for a 10 shot group and see if it was luck or not. Either way its good. I use a larger target ( 6" i think)at 100yds that fits a globe front sight. It must be hard seeing and aiming at a 1" target at that distance. I have 20...

336A,
Get your friend to shoot your rifle with your reloads, and see how he does with it.

AmBraCol, I didnt realise you were down south. The best advice I can give you for the jetta and golf, is to stay up on the cooling system. Change the coolant regularly. A common problem is corrosion in the system that will block the radiator and bleed/return hose that runs from the top righthand sid...

AmBraCol, Sell it and buy a toyota. I have a 1995 which I use as a daily run about, whichi I have owned for the last 10,000 mil;es. It now has a genuine 80,000 miles on the clock. Without a doubt this is the worst pile I have ever owned. Bad electrics, airflow meters, wheel bearings, A/c dash contro...

I use prcision arms for all my tranfers. Its a good store with good guys.
Get a printout of the relevant code and show them. There are so many confusing laws and regs here, its getting hard to keep up with it all.

phlatnose

150grn remington over a full load of W748. (work up to it). Winchester regular large rifle primers. Should group 5 shot at 100yds arond 3/4" or even better. I seat bullets out to maximum length that will cycle through the action. Try it without crimp.

phlatnose

Lets see what happens with the auctions. My guess is that they should go up to around 900 or 925 bucks each.

Just did a bit of quick research. schite= dung. Makes sense I suppose. Originated in germany. Modified and used in england.
The f word origination seems a bit unsure.

phlatnose

The F word as I understand it was the shortened version of, Fornicate under the consent of the king.
I also understood that the S word did come from stack high in transit.

A totem pole with a barrel???

phlatnose

bsp, A velocity of between 2000 and 2150fps with a 170grn bullet is more realistic and safer. That would be using w748 powder. I run my 307 win at 2400fps with winchester stated loads(170grn bullet). The 307 uses a bit more pressure and more powder, and asking this performance from the standard 30-3...

Midways prices are about average. Being that I do not purchase a lot of shooting related equipment and supplies anymore, I shop around around for the best prices. I have always managed to find a better deal elsewhere. I refuse to pay midway a minimum fee on small items. About the only things I need ...

looks like 10. It should clear up tomorrow though. I hope so, as im off to phoenix.

No point in writing to the senators here in california. We already have that law, and thats been in force since 1992 I think.

phlatnose

Barrel life in the 22-250 has been good for me. I dont use full loads of powder at max pressure or max velocity. I had a a tough time finding a really accurate load at max. WIN760 behind a hornady52HPBT at near max load is my high velocity accuracy load, but I prefer to shoot a mild load of IMR4064 ...

phlatnose

BebT, save up a little more cash if you have to, and get a savage. Used ones are quite reasonable. Get some good optics as well.

phlatnose

The only downside to the 22-250 at longer ranges, is the wind drift factor. Take a look at some ballistic charts, and you will see what I mean. Depending on where you are shooting this may or may not be a problem. A good selection of bullets can be bought, ranging from very light to heavy depending ...

phlatnose

I like 10grn pf unique behind a 180grn cast in my winchester. If you have any green dot , it may be worth trying some. For me its a little more accurate, but being a slow moving load you may run out of elevation adjustment for longer ranges.

phlatnose

Get an Outers Foul Out kit. It saves lots of elbow grease and time.

The ban applied to the 50bmg. Stupid really. To get around the ban all you have to do is shorten your sizing dies by 20 thou, trim 20 thou off the chamber end of the barrel,dismantle and resize all your 50bmg ammo. Just make sure it is impossible to chamber a 50bmg round into the firearm.

Here are a few suggestions. Dig around.

Check your twist. I think it is most likely 1in12. Here is what I have used for years, and found nothing better for my rifle, which is similar configuration to yours, except mine has an aftermarket 24" octagon with a 1in10 twist. Lead bullet bear creek supply. 180grnfn. 10grns unique, or 8.5grn...

Hey Tubbs,
I have it covered. 3.5 grains of bullseye wont hurt in that cartridge. It will be a very mild load. Thanks for the concern.
All the best and a Happy New Year.
Flatnose.

phlatnose

I made the choice between the two, puma and marlin, a few weeks ago. I liked the feel and fit of the 92 over the marlin. I liked the sights better on the 92. The marlin felt heavier, and had a much smoother action. I have read alot about the reliability issues of both, and the possibility of bad bor...

phlatnose

Don-T. Thanks.
I found a picture on the web, and the powder I have certainly looks like Bullseye.

phlatnose

I tried some reloads for 44mag, which turned out to be very accurate. I lost my data sheet, and cannot remember what the powder type was. The powder charge is 3.5grains. The powder granules are flat discs. Their color is grey throughout, with no other colors. Does this powder sound like Bullseye? An...

I would go for one in a 6.5mm cartridge

Leverluver,
Thanks, my memory slipped. Cop killer was associated with the solid non expanding bullets.

I arrived in the USA in 1986. Gas was 69 cents/gallon. Cigarettes were 50 cents a pack. It seemed to me everything was on sale. Should have bought some 71 and 1886 winchesters, think they were $600 a pop. They were selling for 900 to 1000 within 4 years. Not the best investment, but they did seem ch...

OK. I just got an education. Barnes do have copper bullets for the 45 colt.
At a buck each, I dont think I will try them though.

phlatnose

A thought just crossed my mind. I do not know if/who, is manifacturing copper bullets for the pistol calibers. I may be wrong, but as far as I can recall it is illegal to use copper solids in pistols or revolvers. Wasnt there something about cop killer bullets, that penetrate body armor? I dont know...

phlatnose

Never been much of a marlin guy myself, but that is a nice bunch. I like the 44-40 with the 28" barrel.
How much would one have to pay for something like that??

phlatnose

make up a checklist and a couple of copies. Check your gear off as you put it into your bags or what ever you use.
Never fly with a pilot that does not use a check list.

Ysabel, That post score was 2 weeks ago. Hobie must be running in the thousands by now.

Tubbs, Back then, it wasn't so much about spending in the true sense of the word, but more about closing of industries and the selling of national assets. True MP's are to blame as well. According to the thatcher regime, if you didnâ€™t agree to her policies and line of thinking you didnâ€™t stay ar...

tubbs, If margaret thatcher was running, she would not get my vote, and I dont care what color she is. She, and her economics, ran the economy into the ground, and was a main factor in my business closing, and me moving to the USA.

phlatnose

I dont think there is a quick way. You just gotta go through the motions and work up a load for the lead. If that powder does not work try the 2400 or unique. Go through a batch of lead bullets and check for weight variations, otherwise you may never find a good load. You found a good load for the j...
