You all have heard the old saying " a boat is a hole in the water into which you throw money". Well a horse is a mouth and a butt into which you throw money. At least you can fish off a boat. I knew a guy that deer hunted off his horse, sure many others have shot from a horse as well , so...

GunnyMack

Yes Bill these bears are a true nuisance here. We do grow em big, they are trash eaters for the most part. The state is so overwhelmed by the complaints they don't even answer the phone calls. Their hands are tied by the bunny huggers in the state Capitol. North of me the residents just give them a ...

Back again and now more damage!

This time I screwed the nail riddled plywood to the wall also !

GunnyMack

Very nice!
The last leather project I did was a shotshell bag( I copied from bob Allen) . It held 10 boxes, smaller compartment for empties and a compartment for glasses, chokes.
Then a puppy, don't remember which one decided to use it for a teething toy!

GunnyMack

Sounds like MEC and Harrell used the same system of wasting power and shot!

GunnyMack

I don't remember if I used 2400 or not when I had my SBH. I can't remember what I used in my 44 carbine either.
Big question is, what powder to take the place of 2400 now that it's pretty much unobtainium...

GunnyMack

Be careful or he might call Chicken services on you for being slapped... Division of Youth and Fowl Services I believe it's called.

GunnyMack

Home Depot has 2 different spray laquers, 7 bucks and 13 bucks and it would be worth a try but like Tutt says- it's not that great a cartridge to bother with chasing brass, setting back shoulders just to find the gun won't feed... It won't do anything my 22 Hornet or 218 Bee can't do other than it '...

GunnyMack

Mid South Shooters supply is having a SALE now.
Cabela's has always been more expensive but that's ridiculous.

GunnyMack

Yep, the dreaded backache is why I stand while casting ( and reloading) . I also made a riser platform for my pot , just a 5 sided box. Works nice as I keep the tub of flux right there in the box.

GunnyMack

I would not hesitate to use that JSP on deer. I tried XTPs from my muzzleloader, wasn't impressed. I settled on a Remington 180gr HP that never failed to anchor a deer, every one in the hide on the off side with very fast expiration of the many deer I shot with it. I have come to like Nosler pistol ...

GunnyMack

I actually had a bear chewing on the corner of my house, trying in frustration to get a bird feeder on the window . I called F&G they told me I was baiting the bears by having bird feeders. So I told the F&G people that if the bear came through the window I was going to shoot it. You can't s...

GunnyMack

Yes, I've known that bear stat for many years, someone needs to tell the bunny huggers about it. There have been a few attacks, none lethal. Most have been the morons trying to get pictures or petting.

GunnyMack

Absolutely correct they need to eat but damaging dwellings is a sure way to get themselves shot. Our F&G don't even take nuisance bear calls, they have no place to take them, they aren't allowed to euthanize them. Just a matter of time before someone gets killed by a bear in NJ!!! It would proba...

GunnyMack

The Reno air races were the holy grail for engine noise- all those warbirds with throttles to the firewall going by was truly amazing. The P51s, Bearcats, Hawker Sae Fury's and my favorite the Corsair's would shake ya to your toes. The day the SR71 came low & slow out of the East while the Natio...

I had an old Lee pot, had to be at least 30years old that started to just pour molten lead. After it self emptied I realized it wasn't the pour spout but that the bottom of the pot had rotted out! Since I hadn't used it much since the 90s and left it empty I guess the relative humidity was enough to...

GunnyMack

I keep my 870 loaded with rubber buckshot, as high as the bear population is they have become fearless trash can raiding nuisance critters.

GunnyMack

Tuesday night the patrolman for our club texted me that a bear tore a screen out of our cabin. Oh great, I know where this is going to go... Yup sure enough the bear was back yesterday evening, this time it tore siding off to get to the fish food. A 40lb bag is missing. Our patrolman showed up and h...

As one of my instructors said," it doesn't hurt to try" . You tried and it worked. Now try to find the right guide and weld on that one, save the orignal( just incase you have a major FUBAR. Also you'll have a model to work from. IF the guides are chromoly steel they won't weld great- pin ...

Seating deeper may cause feeding problems...

My Dad had taken off about 0830 that morning with a charter , taking a couple to NC to look at a race horse. They were just over the VA border when 2 F16s pulled along side. The fighter jocks motioned Dad to land. Dad flipped to the Guard channel and tried to get some info was told to land IMMEDIATE...

GunnyMack

Same here not to mention it takes weeks or months to get a purchase permit...

GunnyMack

I'd start by swimming like Jim suggested. Of course polishing can't hurt either!
The extra length of a mag case puts the pivot farther forward and it's dipping down under its own weight which is the cause of not feeding.

GunnyMack

Please explain how it's acting, from tube to lifter or lifter to chamber. I'd suggest taking it apart and looking for areas that need polishing( look for brass/copper/lead smears) . Heck go ahead and polish all the feeding parts. If needed you could use a smoke lamp on the internals, reassemble and ...

GunnyMack

John, she does very well in a vehicle, she just needs to learn to stay on the seat!

Bill, yes she definitely is a clown!

What I should have done was put the bag up front with me!

20240908_104626.jpg This morning I primed 5 410 hulls, loaded 5 with 5.5gr Greendot and paper towels wadding to increase the report, a half box of loaded 410s. Then I loaded Sage in the truck, my CZ 410 and we went over to the farm. Throwing a retrieving dummy, I'd pop a primed case. Sage didn't sh...

When it first came out I thought it would make a great prarie dog / chuck/ coyote gun. Sadly it's not anything more than a hornet/bee class of cartridge. I already have both so my interest faded.

GunnyMack

A buddies mom started to make a backstrap this way: Tupperware container large enough to hold a whole back strap. Olive oil to cover the bottom of container. Fine chop a whole head of garlic, add to oil. Put back strap in, put on lid. Turn container a few times to coat with garlic and oil. Refrigera...

GunnyMack

All well and good but if they aren't making nitro cellulose it won't help with shortages.
God forbid the cackling hag is elected the plant might just become a gubbermint contract and we will be right back where we are now...

GunnyMack

I've had my BPS 10 for gotta be 20 years, only hunted with it a few times. The only deer I shot with it was a nice young tender one. I hit it with OO buck at about10 yards . I was on the ground andit was walking towards me. I turned it's head into a canoe, and it never knew what happened. Somewhere ...

GunnyMack

The only thing I have that uses brass is my Mexican Mauser 257 Ackley Improved, Neck splits. Of course the majority of my brass is 30 yrs old so it has age related hardening. So I anneal the necks and so far so good. I've had nickled 357/38s that split. I can't prove it but I think it has to do with...

GunnyMack

One of the reasons I use powdered graphite! It doesn't dry out, leave a varnish or get hard.

GunnyMack

Not into my calf, so I doubt it's a dvt.

I'm going to give the local doc a call tomorrow.

Thanks again! We appreciate you here!!

GunnyMack

Looks like Redfield mortise bases. However those bases had one mortise for the front ring and set screws held the rear ring in place.

I've seen those bases with that contour/lightening cut a long the profile but darned if I can tell you the maker!

GunnyMack

Thanks Doc.
However my pain is not the bottom of the foot, the pain is the vertical part of my heel into my calf.

GunnyMack

If I was closer Scott I'd hunt with ya!
I miss dove hunting, a ton of fun!!
Here the doves are considered a song bird.

GunnyMack

Bump.

We are going to do a head scratcher repair this winter, a huge walnut tree fell on an 1800s barn. Broke the center bent of the post and beam framing. We are scratching our heads on how to build the bent, stand it up without taking the rest of the barn down.

GunnyMack

That is elegant but simple, they don't make stuff like that anymore.

GunnyMack

Same here, terrible service. In the house I get better service than on the second floor under a skylight?! A few years ago at 2am I needed to call 911 , the landline is via cable/Internet and it was doing an update and out of service. Only other option was to go outside and find the one spot in the ...

GunnyMack

My bet is the texture ceiling is cuz they didn't want to tear down the plaster and lath- I don't blame them! However they should have just gone over it with 1/4 or 3/8 sheetrock. We are going a kitchen sometime this month, I hope to snag a couple wall boxes for my garage provided they aren't junk. P...

GunnyMack

Happy Birthday Dad! Would have been his 91st today.

GunnyMack

I put Giselle triggers on mine, very smooth and its not noticeable taking up the 1st stage and that glass rod break 2nd.

GunnyMack

Certainly be a good one to leave in the barn, shed, out house!

GunnyMack

I wear custom orthotic supports, I have extremely high arches. I don't wear cheap shoes, Kenetrek are daily drivers. It's easing up and better with shoes on. The pain is the Achilles, not in the sole. I'm sure if I went to an MD they would want to start with oral steroids, nope can't take them, last...

GunnyMack

Scott, I believe the original Clays version version was a bit hotter. They dropped the Clays but the label is exact same design but the load data printed on it has been reduced and they added a few shotgun loads. BYYBUO_SmartPad_T10_20240831_115907_726.jpg I'd say yes they are the same but for safet...

GunnyMack

The past week I have been having heel pain, left side.
No swelling , redness, injury's. I'm thinking tendonitis?
I've been taking Aleve which helps but every step is painful.
Thoughts? Treatments?
Thanks

GunnyMack

If I had that gun of Scott's id be out looking for hogs every possible chance I could!

GunnyMack

Interesting indeed. You would think the magnum primers would have been more energetic...
Sure wish I could find some large pistol primers so I can work up a load for my 41 mag .

GunnyMack

Glad to hear that Bill- tell them you want a Jack Daniel's drip before they pull!
