Very nice Ted. Your choice of the RD cast bullet is the same as mine for our upcoming season, only I'll be using a 38-55. We had an early doe season and with my geezer status I was allowed to use a rifle so I killed a doe with a 444P and the RD 300 gr. bullet. Dropped right down, no tracking necessa...

Slippery locking lug, usually because of bullet lube blown back when firing. You have to keep the lug clean & dry. One of the reasons that I sold both my Classics.

Tom,

I know too well the horrors of cancer and will keep you on my prayer list until all is well. May the Lord be with you.

I hear you Mike with these PA rules. I used to hunt with a 30-30 Contender Carbine, cast bullets for squirrels and turkey, jacketed for deer and one bear. How long is it now, 8-10 years that we were restricted to rimfire for small game? I own a Marlin 25-20, the perfect small game rifle that I can't...

I've seen those ridiculous, needle thin fiber optic front sights that stick out of the globe front sight to gather light. Not exactly my idea of a sturdy sight. I agree that scopes should never be allowed. Look what happened to IHMSA after Elgin Gates passed away. Rules were modified to allow most a...

Chicago
Journey

My wife and I sat through a pouring rain at a Journey concert years ago and loved it. We also took our family to two Chicago concerts over the years.

Good luck Sixgun. Somewhere along the flight you'll be passing your guns assuming that Gunny is driving them to CO. Now I know why you had that huge wall tent at the states. Tell Cynthia that all your Leverguns pals have been and are praying for her. Also, I agree with your cartridge choice in the r...

I check their used lever action rifles a few times a week - on-line. Bought a few over the years and was always satisfied.

Oh-oh. I can see Ted walking into the shop with his double rifle with one of those "FOR SALE" pennant flags sticking out of the barrels.

Steelbanger

Levergunners, Sixgun is a very down to earth, entertaining fellow. And, he was very generous in adding points to my scores. I only wish that I shot in the high 40's but truth is that my best was a 43x60 with the 38-55 CB. The really good, consistent shooters were shooting scores in the mid 50;s. In ...

I wrote both in on the last ballot and encouraged several others to do the same. If we get a longer start then the next election should a favorable outcome.

I did see in the results that Joaquin Jackson was elected to the board again, he being the person responsible for Hobie deciding to run.

I went to a handgun silhouette match one day with a friend who used a Remington XP100 chambered for the 308 Win. In his hands that pistol was a 40X40 gun and he was quite proud of it. While we were signing up he uncased his XP and discovered that he forgot the bolt which was home - 100 miles south o...

Never been to the York show and won't be tomorrow. Cowboy silhouette at CSLC tomorrow afternoon. Sixgun, are you going to Bradford next weekend? I'm only shooting one day, Friday, so hopefully I'll see you there. I will be stopping at Grice's next Saturday which is better than a gun show - no admiss...

Sincere sympathy on your loss of Kathe. I pray you'll find strength in your faith during these sorrowful days.

Steelbanger

Buck, I have had Kathe on my prayer list since your first post. I am sorry to learn of the worsening of her condition and will continue to keep both she and you in my prayers. I lost my wife to cancer after her two and a half year battle and know full well all the emotional turmoil we go through whi...

Walking the dog this morning just after 6 AM. The local cemetery has a "Soldiers Circle" of veterans from all the wars up to Vietnam. This morning I noticed the new flags in place for Memorial Day and although the light wasn't very good I took this shot with my phone. All burials are in a ...

I can only imagine how great you feel.

I'll offer a prayer of thanks for your good news.

God is good!!

Steelbanger

Just wondering whether you were ever contacted by the NRA since you surely received many votes for the Board of Directors.

Steelbanger

Got this from Remington yesterday. After nearly a century, Remington returns to its rightful place as the manufacturer of one of America's most revered handguns; the 1911. From the moment you wrap your hand around it's double diamond grips and lay your finger on the polished aluminium of the telltal...

Someone on my Dad's side of the family has a picture of my great grandfather posing with another northern soldier. I only saw that photo one time and it was on metal. Would that be a tintype? I do have a copy professionally made from that but whoever holds the original is very secretive about owners...

Kathe is now on my prayer list. She will need you now more than ever before. Stay strong, pray for the right decisions to be made, think and act positively.

Steelbanger

There you go again Ted, draggin' out that Krieghoff 470 Nitro Express to tease us. Can't you just tell us about it without the pictures?

Nice groups, both left and right.

You smack any MO whitetails with that rifle yet?

Steelbanger

Jdad,

Congratulations on really fine shooting. Ten turkeys is a dream of mine. I need them in smallbore and pistol cartridge. Many 8's & a few 9's but no 10's for me - yet, and I'm running out of time.

Now go get those rams. And enjoy the cheese.

I got this back in early January and believe these are the dates - Cowboy States are at Bradford on Aug. 28th and 29th

Condolences from PA. I'll pray for your mother, you and your family during these sad days. With all those interests I would bet that Mom still had thoughts of other roads to travel before the Alzheimer's took control.

Steelbanger

Prayers said for your mother. It's very difficult watching a loved one going through so much.

Steelbanger

txpete, I've put your mother and you on my prayer list. My wife was in hospice care for just over 2 months and those were some of the nicest people you could hope for. We had nurses visit here seven days a week and they encouraged us to call if any problems arose no matter the hour. I will pray that...

I haven't posted much anywhere in a very long time due to being a caregiver to my wife, Carol. She was valiantly fighting metastatic melanoma for 2 1/2 years, enduring surgery, chemotherapy, radiation and countless scans, tests, drugs and treatments, losing her battle on November 17th. This Christma...

Steelbanger

Ted,

Prayers said for your brother-in-law and a successful surgery. That is a very brave decision he made. I'll continue to keep your family in my prayers too.

Frank

Steelbanger

Sixgun,

I'll put your daughter-in-law on my prayer list. I know all too well the effects of cancer and the treatment thereof and pray for a positive, cancer free result for her. God bless your entire family.

Frank

Steelbanger

Thanks guys. A year older and caregiver to my wife who's in hospice care so no celebration today. I do appreciate your thoughts and ask you send up a short prayer for my wife. Her cancer treatments are ended so she's in a comfort mode now.

Thank you.

Steelbanger

My belief is that the NRA doesn't allow anyone to rebarrel to stop from turning this fun game into an equipment race. 100% agreement here on that rule.

Powderburn distances . . that's a good one!

Steelbanger

Joe, I just saw this thread and read of your brothers treatment. Although the procedure is over I will add him to my prayer list, recovery being a long term proposition. I know a bit about this because my wife just had the same treatment two weeks ago. In her case a followup MRI won't be done for 2-...

Sixgun, Yep, we met at Tiadaghton a few years back. At that time I didn't realize you were an internet celebrity. When we met you were pondering your way home since the dog ate your road map. Remember? I haven't done much silhouette in a few years and probably won't for the foreseeable future, my wi...

Hello Sixgun, What a coincidence! My son-in-law & I were doing the exact same thing yesterday. He and my daughter live in a log home and have been reluctantly sharing it with the bees for years. If they're active you can see piles of saw(bee)dust below the holes they bore. The defense started in...

So what else is new. Here is one supposedly from the 1920's showing a test of bullet proof glass. I often wonder if this is real and what the outcome was. Can you imagine that glass plate thrown back against his skull? Or the bullet fragments in both hands? http://www.myhostedpics.com/images/Steelba...

Old guys, especially me, hardly ever get a chance to brag, but I am taking this opportunity to do so.

Hi Geoff,

Without sight settings I would be very happy with a 30. I bet you got 'em figured out and knocked over 32, one of which may have fallen due to bullet splatter from an adjacent target!

We're eating Washington pears this week.

A frightening diagnosis. Prayers sent and will continue to be said.
