Hobie, dude - This is the best I can do with my limited tech knowledge. Can someone find the proper URL (?) and post so all can check this out (or not)? Nevermind, just reviewed it and discovered it was a 2005 story. Oh well, I suppose it won't hurt to revisit these happenings occasionally. Thanks, ...

GoatGuy

Heads Up - Read it this morning. Check out the story here,
http://www.gopusa.com/news/2005/august/0823_atf_gun_sho...
No one should miss this story and DON'T stop at page 1. Read it all!

Check out Ken Water's "Pet Loads" book for a variety of 180gr. loads for the .44 mag. rifles. He mostly has given me my best loads in several calibers in that fine work of his. You'll find a good amount of info on the 180's in the updated .44 mag section of "Pet Loads".

GoatGuy

Yeah, that would have been a good thing. We're about ready to close on 12 acres that adjoins us for more than $5k an acre, and that's down from $9+k per the sellers were asking a 1 year and 1/2 ago!!! Where's all that cheap land gone?

GoatGuy

Check with the County Extension Office in Fulton Co. They should be able to point you in the right direction to get the info you need. Were you referring to starting your own company and cutting the timber yourself, or finding some timber cutters to do it and pay you for the timber harvested?

GoatGuy

Slimster - that's some nice country over that way in Fulton County. Glad you'll be joining us in a few years, ... and dont' worry about your "orange blood", as long as it isn't Burnt Orange!

Gordon Snidow - A friend from my New Mexico days, Gordon is known as "the foremost chronicler of the contemporary cowboy since 1959" ... Gordon Snidow was honored with a retrospective show at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C. in which nearly 250,000 people attended. In additi...

Hooray for you rjohns94 and all of the rest of you levergunners on your Texas summer levergun safari. Those of us unable to attend are envious, you can bank on it!

After retiring and relocating to a small farm here in NW Arkansas, I got into the meat goat farming business, and it, having drained my savings, has taken over my life as well, ... or so my wife tells me quite frequently. Started with it a little more than three years ago and have a loose partnershi...

GoatGuy

Ponder this; a pair of stainless Ruger 44 magnum sixshooters. A 5/2" Super Blackhawk for her and a 5 1/2" Redhawk for you. And if necessary, replace grips on each to individualize the poppers for suitable handling. A perfect his and hers pair for the lower 48 and quite appropriate for AK.

GoatGuy

Just read my reply above. Somewhat incoherent. Sorry for my poor self-editing.

GoatGuy

Louisa County, VA; interesting. Not in relation to anything else here, but I just read today in one of our local daily newspapers that B.H. Obama's great-great-great-great-great grandfather, Nathaniel Bunch, was born in Louisa County, VA in 1793 before migrating in the 1840's to Newton County, AR by...

GoatGuy

Nevermind. It's rarely possible to change someone's negative point of view about a topic in which they have formed such irrational notions. I perceive a class envy attitude at work here within these arguments about the "evil" corporate entity and it's selfish, greedy, mean, coldhearted exe...

GoatGuy

CO? I'm not familiar with that corporate officer designation. Surely you must be correct, but will you enlighten me, please?

GoatGuy

How many Chief Executive Officers do you suppose WalMart has? Perhaps one (1)?

GoatGuy

Well, I'm 66 years old and retired. Not on any kind of prescription meds, smoke a little (since 15 years old), drink a little (not as much as I use to), raising meat goat breeding stock and married to a beautiful, capable and bright woman 27 years younger than I (celebrate 16th anniversary next Nove...

GoatGuy

Charles - your pompous response to steve505 was certainly out of place, though certainly not unlike you! His comments may not have been as "elegantly" worded as you would have liked, however those comments were echoed by others though in a much less direct manner. I note you failed to take...

Northwest Arkansas/Southwest Missouri Ozarks. Close to amenities (health, transportation, shopping, entertainment, sports), excellent boating/fishing lakes, diverse, 4 seasons, beautiful scenery and recreational opportunities. Deer, bear, hog, elk, and small game seasons. And depending how close you...

GoatGuy

H&R Bang. Got off topic there, sorry. I also have 96/22M and haven't done much with it. Did scope it finally and sight it in, but haven't fooled with it after that. They are what they are and not promoted as a bench rifle, but I believe it has enough practical accuracy to satisfy most folks, exc...

GoatGuy

Hey Mescalero 1, you mentioned the Sacramentos in another post. Are you headed for either Otero County or Lincoln County when you retire? I have some amigos around that area. Use to live in those parts.

GoatGuy

Hobie, I'm a Tyler fan big time. Use the T's on most of my revolvers, In fact I have one on the S&W 67 that I dispatched the copperhead with this a.m. Also a big fan of the "dick special" and variants.

GoatGuy

Thanks Paul, I agree with the wadcutter recommendation. And I'm not sure that a solid wouldn't have done less damage to Pepper's bed (one hole vs shredded bedding). Most of my shots come about when I'm on the tractor or 4 wheeler and the snakes are moving pretty quick to get out of the way. The shot...

GoatGuy

Just killed the 2nd Copperhead snake of this Spring a couple of hours ago. Our Catahoula dog, Pepper, alerted me to it by her distinctive bark, saying, "hey Dad, there's something out here that requires your urgent attention!" Found the bugger ensconced on Pepper's bed on our back porch, d...

Those pics call to mind the Bisti Badlands up in NW new Mexico. One drives right through them on the way from Albuquerque to Farmington. Those in the pics might be more extensive, but not any more forboding, in my opinion.

GoatGuy

bsaride - good for you! Nice, unusual N frame and one that should hold its value since, relatively speaking, few are made in that configuration. Glad you chose an N frame, ...and in 44 special to boot. With something a little less common, and your familiarity of the type from your Lew Horton camp gu...

GoatGuy

I dealt with them several years ago. No problems then and it's a family operation. The original founder of the company has passed, but I believe it's in the same family's hands.

GoatGuy

bsaride - If you are interested in N frames, and original Hand Ejectors are too hard to find or too pricey at this time, S&W has their Classic Series Hand Ejectors in 44 spec. and 45 acp available. These too are pricey for my buget, but might work for you. If I were in your shoes and wanted a la...

GoatGuy

Well, I suppose if you want to be like everybody else you could go with a single action thumbbuster. However if you want to stand out a little, you could go with Smith and Wesson Hand Ejectors in the .38 special Military and Police Model. Or if seriously stuck on large calibers you could do worse th...

Having been a rye whiskey drinker for a number of years, my recommendation is Old Overholt. Tried others (Turkey and Beam) available on the shelves here locally and found them both somewhat disappointing. Won't try either of them again. I'm sticking with what in my opinion is the best straight rye w...

Legend of the Dogwood Tree Legend has it that 2000 years ago, a tall, strong species of tree grew in the Middle East. Its thick, straight trunk was sought after by the Romans - the rulers of Jerusalem - for building crosses for executions. One day an officer of the Roman Court came to the forest an...

YH - or, for quicker and more thorough info, search the CMSA (www.cowboymountedshooting.com) website for all the particulars of the organization. If that doesn't help, p.m. me for the info to which I referred in my earlier post - GG

GoatGuy

YellowHorse - p.m. me for contact info of Phil Spangenberger. Phil was one of the founders of CMSA and resides out your way. He should be able to put yoou into contact with a group in your vicinity. - GoatGuy

Jim - I've been frustrated by this toxic lead baloney for a long time. Numerous times I've put forth the same arguments you've mentioned here and been looked at as some ancient wierdo who doesn't have a clue. It's amazing how gullible a society can become in such a short period of time. Igorance of ...

TRichard put me onto this addictive site some 3 years ago. I had an early affinity for the levers, but I'd never kept or used one for long. That shortsidedness really changed for me and gained momentum with my first new Marlin (1895 45-70) bought in 1978.

GoatGuy

Tycer - You really put me to shame. I see articles like you describe and plan a rebuttal, but for some reason never "get around to it". You sir, walk the walk and serve as an example to those of us who mostly just talk the talk!!

GoatGuy

J - Colt, Rock River Arms, and possibly others I'm not really familiar with. Look for those with 5.56 NATO chambering either 1/7 or 1/9 twist. 1/7 will handle the heaviest bullets available, but 1/9 is a very good compromise. - GoatGuy
