Of course they would. The Doctors we have around these parts haven't even "discovered" Vitamin D, let alone the dreaded "I" stuff!

Yes, interesting. And I know they are technically "bison" but also call them "buffalo". When the huge herds roamed the plains they were harassed by wolves and Indians and never spent much time in the same spot, so any given plot of land would be grazed and stomped-to-bejeezus onl...

As a consumer of the veterinarian Ivermectins I found both the horse paste and the injectable both easily dosed, though the injectable (which I "injected" into my morning coffee was easiest). The horse variety as we get it here has an adjustable collar on a threaded shaft that is easily pl...

Thanks for that "look back" Paul. Very interesting.

I have a regular Hornet and a K-hornet on single-shot actions. Both fine shooters but I consider the regular Hornet with its beautiful long neck to be the premier 22-cal cast bullet cartridge.

Last month the eagle shat upon a bunch of us retired federal workers of a certain era.

I don't know about Indiana but here in Orygone that big a rent raise wouldn't be legal. I think we're capped at 10%/year.

Yeah, I shoot against a guy who has a 45 colt rifle with 20" twist. He generally waxes my patootie at the 5 and 600 yard targets. (I'm using an old 38/40 with short fat bullets for this game)

Dang, I'm kinda' with the judge on this one. It'd be one thing if we were just deporting these people, but before we send them to a lifetime in the world's nastiest prison they need enough "due process" to make sure they are real gang-bangers and not just some chicano kids with tattoos. Tr...

I have a Rossi with the slow twist. It will shoot the 300 grain bullet I like fairly nicely to 100 yards but it falls apart by 200 yards. So if you don't need to shoot past 100 yards I'd bet you would be OK with the older Marlin and your 285 grain bullet. If you want to shoot farther out -- maybe no...

Well Grizz, us buffalo shooters here in Central Oregon shoot monthly (4th weekend of the month) April - October. Come on down and give 'er a try. (Heck, it's even on the way to Glass Butte). We shoot the steel buffalo on out to 1200 yards so you'll need a lot taller sight (like a 4" staff for a...

I think you've got it Paladin. A good prosecutor could take the stuff from the video linked by Doc AJ and start convicting up the chain clear to the top of Phyzer. That's a monumental conspiracy.

Seems fine up here in the Orygone. Maybe it's a regional bias issue?

Back when I had a few Marlin 1894’s in 41 MAG I was eager to find gas check molds .

Finally Gator checks became avail...

I wrote about DMSO a couple times on here 'cause I know most of us are hitting that age where little arthritic aches and pains are a constant. My old neck had finally got bad enough it was scaring me and I spent 7 months and $3000 on chiropractic last year trying to get a little relief. "A Midw...

Grew up on a ranch Arizona. C'boy hat pretty constant. Tennys unless going horseback. Never thought of the culture clash. Dad wore "clodhoppers" if he wasn't riding. Boots that work well in a saddle are not great for walking.

My Grandfather used to tell us if we needed more than 8 grains of Unique in the 1892 38-40 we should move up to a 30-30.

Sheesh! What am I doing up here in the land of ice and snow?

Well, I am getting some bullets cast and shells loaded while waiting for something approaching "shootin' weather".

Nice pics Paul.

It would save a lot of labor, time, and energy, if a person could get 2 or 3 reloads from nice clean shiny brass before another cleaning is required Sometime in the early 1990's, after I had been reloading my trusty 357s for 30 years, was the first time I heard of people cleaning their brass. And i...

Nope -- haven't got such. And I've been life member for over 50 years (probably got my money's worth by now).

Coming up on 10 years since I had both knees replaced (fortunately not at the same time!). First days brutal, first couple weeks nasty, then got better as PT got the flexibility back. About 3 years before they got fully functional (they didn't warn me about that). Wonderful now!

Hang in there.

You fellers are tougher than me. I thought the 350 gr. jfp at 2100 fps might jar the fillings out of my teeth. My little 300 gr. castie at 1700 though is much more tolerable.

earlmck

I would think that would get the job done for you allright. There was a while there when 45/70 brass was not so "readily available" either, but Starline made a run recently and I laid in 300 new cases so am feeling much better about 45/70 world.

Go for it!

That looks like a worthy project Joe. Let us know how it turns out.

Meanwhile my letter-carrier lady saw that I my car had been gone for a few days (I made a visit to Boise) and she moved a couple packages from my front porch to my back step so they wouldn't be so vulnerable!

So if this stuff is about the same as 572 it should work in the 10 , 12 , 16 , 20 and possibly 28 gauge guns . There is quite a thread on "Castboolits" under the "Factory & Surplus Powder" topic. One fellow sent some 28 Gauge loads out for testing -- said in that application...

A few weeks ago there was some discussion over on Castboolits about a deal in pistol powder. I slid myself over to "Gunbroker" and put in a bid on some for myself. Ended up with 14lb of this stuff (2-7lb jugs) for my $130 bid plus $75 shipping. So just under $15 per pound for fairly fast p...

The Lee 175 grain Tumble-Lube bullet has been a good plinker to 200 yards for my m92. But my favorite bullet is the Accurate 40-200 B which comes in at 205 grains or so with my wheelweight metal. This is a gas-check design and the correct gas check is the "41BSS" I get from Sage's Outdoors...

earlmck

Good story Jim. Sounds like that bullet would be real similar to the 300 grain LBT-LFN bullet I ran a jillion of through the Redhawk back in my pistol shooting days (before the right shoulder went kaput). I loaded 19 grains of a surplus powder labeled H108 which sits in there between 2400 and H110 f...

Dang, I'd be buying some of those 32/20's and 25/20's at those prices. Those would be good prices in US dollars.

But phew! $245 for a box of shells? A feller would really appreciate his old bullet mould and loading press for sure.

I have a short biography written by a cousin of my great-grandfather. As a kid in Texas somebody loaned him a Henry to bring in some meat of which both deer and pigs were the potentials. He was successful, described the rifle as "the little popping 44" which I assumed meant he was not real...

I'm glad to hear Nicholson has upped their game. Back when I was making a living with a chainsaw the only files worth buying were the Swiss. Anything American made was a soft piece of buffalo dung. And the German or Portuguese were not a lot better, and not all the Swiss were created equal.

earlmck

I have heard of two such instances -- both were loads using wide flat-nosed bullets. And since both caused damage to the shooter I think the rounds had to be back on the lifter within the action when they went off and not out in the tube magazine. My guess is that somehow the cartridge sliding back ...

I think JRD has it nailed.

And Remington primers will likely be your best bet for a primer that won't be so apt to flow back into the firing-pin hole -- they are the hardest I know of.

Well gee, that'll take you out to the range in style!
