Where does the nitro cellulose come from, what country? Why don't the powder companies make their own? Sure it would cost them to get a plant set up but cheaper in the long run maybe. Is the foreign made stuff not being allowed into the US( think gun control antis) I'm sure the freighters are not sl...
We don't shoot box birds but I can tell you as the birds get smaller the hit ratio goes down! The guys in our club don't like chukar and Hungarian partridge. Why? Because they can't shoot worth beans. I watch them miss nice easy straight away chukars with their 12s & 20s , two shots and I'll pok...
Well I am envious. 8) Come join us shoot all this stuff and then tell me if you’re still envious . The wear and tear on my shoulders from years and years of shotgun rifle heavy recoil are slowly beginning to take their toll . As long as I take a couple weeks between events it isn’t so bad , but if ...
My favorite is a High Standard Field King pump. It was the first long gun I bought when I was deemed legal age. Some how or other a second one found its way into my safe. I dont remember buying it, I do remember looking at it though...
The ' dope ' used on the skin was essentially thermite. The Mythbusters did an episode about it and tried a few different dope mixtures, some burned some didn't but the mix high in aluminum & iron oxide sure did.
My grandfather was there and saw it burn. He owned a trucking business, I think he was delivering gasoline or diesel. The following day he took my dad and aunt to see the remains.
Just be happy you don't have to clean the litter box for that puddy-tat!
When I lived in CO a fresh lion track in the snow by the house I was renting, made darn sure to pack a gun while outside after that. I didn't leave the dog out alone either- she could and did carry a glock but couldn't use it!
Ok Bill here you for you. I watched a couple videos about steam bending wood for fish nets. Figured it was easy enough and made a steam box. I needed a heat source to make the steam so I cobbled together a spout extension for a teapot heated on the woodstove. It worked- poorly but enough steam allow...
Gotta sneak between the ribs, otherwise an 8gr pellet would probably stop. Even at 1000+ fps. Unless it was one of those with the missile like pointy inserts... My RWS 350 will break the sound barrier with light pellets. Last summer I had a pesky fox hanging around eyeballing my litter of puppies. C...
Yup. Heat from a lamp and linseed oil is how I've seen it done. Steam can also work- that's how I bend when I make trout nets.
3" of drop is a lot more than comfortable.
Not many still use CUP, instead they use PSI, converting one to the other is not an exact formula as far as I know, but I'm not a ballistician and I didn't stay at a Holiday Inn so I would go slowly at top end loads. Someone here might have data that could point you in the right direction? I've said...
AND this poor guy didn't have a firearm so the ridiculousness of this is just moronically stupid. Fine, confiscate the ammo and send him home, ban him from your country if you like but the big question is why didn't this ammo get found when he was going through TSA screening here!?
Yeah Doc that would be a hoot to buy out a shop but I bet red flags would be going off at NICS ! Next thing you would be getting a visit from the FBI & ATF.
Ok guys, the puppies are now off the infrared cam so it's color now. I went to visit today and my how they have grown! Eyes are open. Starting to hear. The drunken sailors have begun to learn how to walk and it's a riot to watch.
Granted I haven't delivered hundreds of puppies but of the 4 litters I've had and the 3 or 4 I have helped with I can say that if you are the first thing a pup smells it will remember you! I figured that out when helping with litters, one pup I delivered would come to me when I would go visit. It's ...
The only rifle that has given me fits with case failure (neck splits) has been my 257Ackley Improved.i know it is due to age and work hardening. It was all brass from factory 257 Roberts that I shot to fire from. I'd love to get new brass but geeze it's expensive, need to take out a mortgage to get ...
Looks great to me Bill!
Best bacon I ever had was from a big ol cut boar I shot on one of those game farms. I had it cured and smoked by the butcher. Just fantastic flavor. The pig had 18lb hams and they had to cut them in order to wrap fir the freezer. Oh the ribs.... man now I wanna go shoot a pig!
