Deer scarce? Depends on where you lived. In the late '1940 post war California had what was recognized a the largest deer herd in the world at 1 to 1.5 million animals. Not now. Changes in land use made a lot of difference. Since then a lot of marginal farm land is the east has been allowed to rever...

My parents didn't listen to rock, so it wasn't much help.

Are you saying you were conceived in The House of the Rising Sun?

Properly prepared it should be parboiled and rinsed. Kind of like washing sauerkraut. I occasionally see canned poke on local store shelves. I have eaten it but it is nothing special to me.

Maybe you should take in a few cockfights while visiting there and let your relatives place a few bets for you, pretty good chance 50/50, kinda like roulette betting red or black :) only a lot more exciting.

I rechambered a Winchester 94 saddle ring trapper from 357 Magnum to 357 Maximum. I bought the parts so that it will feed Maximums from the magazine but then it won't feed Magnums. I feed them into the chamber one at a time. If anyone is interested I can post my loading and chronograph results. Eve...

A few armadillos have leprosy. They apparently get it from humans. Leprosy was mentioned in the Bible but there are no armadillos in the Old World nor any record of leprosy here until them darned white skinned devils began arriving.

Milton,

What is the measured length of your 115 gr cast lead bullets? What is the length of your gun barrel? What velocities are you hoping for or what velocity range would be acceptable?

I would like to check QL to get a feeling about what might be possible.

The European 'badger' (Meles meles') is not the same as the American badger (Taxidea taxus) but apparently they share a common disposition.

Some people seem to think the measure of a gun is the size of the hole in the end of the barrel. Well it isn't the hole doesn't stop anything. As the hoary 38 vs the Moros story the .38 troops were shooting then was the .38 Colt which was less powerful than the .38 Special or the 9mm. It was in fact...

Yea.....nice......personally, I've never been affected...... being from a pretty much the only pro-gun state east of the Mississippi.

I believe the general consensus is that Amerindians originated in Siberia in the Amur River watershed. Not far from Korea.

Nationality is not hereditary. Neither is religion. Ad for me I know all I need to know. I asked my dad where we came from and his answer was "lightning struck a tree and there I was." We are what we are. The moving finger writes and moves on, nor shall all our piety or wit lure it back to...

The fact that some Norse long ships had jade Buddhas does not prove that the Norse traveled to China. I have things in my house from many different countries none of which I have ever visited.

What would it do that a 357 MAg carbine doesnt? If someone likes it as a "fun gun" --- then no further explanation needed -- more levergun cartridges that are useful would be welcome (i know , i know --- just a few years ago , there were new bolt guns introduced every week for various sho...

BAGTIC

One drawback of the .327 in a carbine is that its short COL does not take advantage of even the shortest carbine actions such as the M1892. Might as well use a 30/357 that would use same feed and extraction systems as existing .357 models

Good at killing but don't always care what. I shot mine after I discovered it was responsible for killing my goats. J. Russell kill a goat you say? Yep. It would kill the kids or attack the does while they were giving birth resulting in loss of both the does and the kids.

The quality of the most recently made Remington Marlins is outstanding. I have not tested accuracy, but fit and finish is excellent with everything plumb and straight and nary a thing too proud of its neighbor. I am not a fan of CB safeties or the checkering but both are well done. The actions have...

Maybe it's because I live in a country obsessed with firearm security, I find it odd that a lot of gun owners leave guns unsecured in vehicles and around the home.

A hundred years ago grain fattened beef was almost unknown. Before mechanization of the grain production it was simply too expensive to feed to cattle. Also, a hundred years ago beeves were normally killed at about 3 years of age so they would naturally have been more flavorful. Likewise grilling be...

Too bad that as long as you Brits are afflicted with the awful Yankee squirrels you could not at least have the Fox squirrels as they are big enough for a good meal.

I don't know about H4895. The new manufacture IMR4198 is supposed to be the same as the older H4198. As H4198 is slower than original IMR4198 it should be safe to use old IMR4198 data but results will not be exactly the same.

I had one in 30-30 Ackley Improved. It shot very well. I sold it because I do not like magazines that protrude below the stock. Wish I had kept it as now I developed an interest in the smaller capacity cases and it would be perfect for experimenting with wildcats based on the .375 Winchester case.

Probably no increase in pressure. The case neck will expand enough to release the bullet long before it matters. The hardness of the bullet and its travel distance before engaging the rifling are far more important.

Shooting at any known range has little relevance to hunting. Range estimation is the great bugaboo. Also shooting at the same target at the same range multiple times. I don't know any real life hunting situation where one can get ten shots at a standing target scores seven hits, usually the last sev...

I can not figure out prices either. I have a NIB (1996) genuine Marlin 1895 SS GL 45-70 that I offered on another site at a price lower than any advertised RemLin version and no interest. Guess I'll have to post it on one of the internet auction sites.
