casastahle,

Y'all must be from South York, correct? Or have you been hangin' below the Mason-Dixon line?

Another Pennsylvanian, John Kort, will have your answer and I expect he will be along before much longer.

And now, back to shoveling snow.

In Pennsylvania I haven't seen 22 ringnecks in the last 22 years! You and that dog of yours are quite the team. My beagle is growing old and I haven't hunted him this winter. Arthritis in his hip knocks the pep out of him now.

I'm with BruceB on this series. She's one of the characters that are still alive too.

How easily you guys are distracted.

They're trying to sew here.

Steelbanger

All the way down here on this thread and I can still picture the bickering around the Leverguns Sewing Circle as to whether to include a Winchester or the preferred Marlin rifle sewn into the design.

Steelbanger

Ted,

I'll be going to church in a few hours and there I will pray for your uncle and his family in their loss. You have my sympathy too.

My first rifle was a 22 Ranger single shot and that was back in the mid fifties. That rifle was about worn out when I got it. I completed the wear and it just plain wore out.

Steelbanger

I's appreciate a chance at the knife too. Please include me in the drawing. Thank you.

Eastern PA here and this morning the temp was -7. High for today was 9º and right now just before 7 pm it's 3º. I agree with everyone else about these weathermen and their windchill temps.

My best friend of almost 50 years has Alzheimer's, still remembers me and everything we did years ago, right down to some of the conversations we had. He cannot remember my last visits though and knows nothing of current events. He avoids showering and all other personal grooming and looks like a ma...

Get yourself a 22 cal Boresnake and pull it from chamber to muzzle.

A case of CCI 22s. LRHV, 40 gr. Ordered but not received yet.

Steelbanger

I'm feeling your pain Ted. Prayers up.

Mescalero,

I use this stuff and I believe they have 57 varieties of gravy. Try to enjoy the gravy and not think of John Kerry and his bride Ter-ezza.

Your friend Don is on my list. Scary when you fall from a stand. I did about 12 feet once which knocked the wind out of me. You can't imagine how many times I thanked our Creator for not having any serious injuries.

Steelbanger

Nice work Ted. I got one of those new RD 30 cal moulds too but haven't cast with it yet.

Merry Christmas.

My late wife won a drawing at the local radio station back in the day, the prize: An LP album of the sound track from "Easy Rider". Man, did she ever love that group of songs. If I had a turntable and the album I would have to look it up today and give it a play.

Hey Six,

Cold? You're supposed to stand on the scale, not sit on it, assuming that those 59 year old eyes can still read something on the floor while you are standing.

Good morning GK,

You finally made it! Congratulations. I can remember when I was in the count-down mode 10 years ago and boy did the days ever crawl by. Now they seem to fly but the ride is mostly enjoyable. Wishing you good health and a happy retirement.

I have a cataract which has been slowly developing for a length of time which is probably 4 or 5 years and still doesn't need the "fix". When I first saw these spider webs I thought something was in the aperture at 3 o-clock. I blew through it, poked a fine wire through, but the web was st...

If any of you hoarders are laden with guilt about having too much 44 Mag brass please remember that I am always looking for more to keep an adequate supply for my few 44's. Thanks.

Steelbanger

Not a 45-70 but I did kill a deer 6-7 years ago with a 38-55 and the bullet profile looks much like the Saeco bullet you show. That particular bullet was a group buy on one of these forums and shot very well. My alloy was a very hard mix with a high percentage of stereotype metal. Those bullets were...

Steelbanger

The funnel I use most of the time and have been for many years was made by Herter's. They took the hokum (and static) out of that funnel and it never returned.

Steelbanger

Now that is a deer you'll never forget. Congratulations. That is a fine looking young buck.

Steelbanger

Thank you gentlemen.

And Happy Birthday to FatJackDurham.

I've been trying to call Midsouth Shooters since 9 this morning and I keep getting a recording that all circuits are busy and to try again later. These calls are from my home in PA and going to TN. My phone provider is Verizon. I hope this isn't the beginning of some sinister plot. And this from Mid...

I read that thread on MO yesterday and that rifle was said to be a one of a kind and was chambered for the 35 Rem. Sold for somewhere around $3500 at auction.

Steelbanger

Tycer,

You and your family have my deepest sympathy on your loss. Prayers up for all.

Looks like he's having great time but the fun doesn't really start until he plays his tuba. You folks in the Dakotas get ready!

Back in her high school days one of my daughters dated a young man that went on to become a pilot for UPS. Last I heard of him he was still flying with them.

The Lyman 49th Manual, 1992, in its Contender/ Remington XP section has meager data for the 215 gr. SWC and the 205 gr. RN. My scanner is shot but if you want a copy of this data PM your email address and I will send pics of the data.

Steelbanger

About two years back I saw a 22 LR rifle that could be used as an auto or a bolt action. I can't remember the manufacturer but I do remember that it was of European origin.

Ted,

That's really bad news. Prayers that the physical damage heals quickly and properly. God bless you both.

Joe, I'm glad they determined the problem. Now take the meds, rest and heal. From personal experience I would suggest you keep a log of medications taken. When I helped with my wife's home care I would have been lost without having a black & white record of medication taken, times and amounts. R...

Two first place plaques at a regional shoot. Not too shabby Jack.

What happened to the huge circus tent you two had? Destroyed from within?

I'm thinking that you need to get rid of that 348 and what do you know, I've been looking for one.

My congratulations to you on some fine shooting.

Steelbanger

I believe they never redid their site. That 32 Mag CB has been popping up for years now. Makes it look like nobody at Remington cares, doesn't it?

Steelbanger

I know your anguish, having lost my wife to cancer, and you have my prayers. Even after three and a half years I still have a difficult time expressing sympathy because the deep hurt remains. I will keep trying.

I hope you find peace Paco.

I always try both ends of the blank in the dovetail. The end that goes into the dovetail the farthest tells you that it is oriented correctly and you can tap the other end. Or buy a few of the Williams blanks that fasten in the dovetail with a set screw. They always fit! One time I put one of those ...

ColColt, PM your address to me and I'll send you a copy of the instruction sheet that Mid-Kansas Bullets provided with their 38-55 bullets. It is the most factual information I have ever found for the 38-55. They describe the bulge as like a catfish belly. I would scan and attach it but the scanner ...

My wife passed away three and a half years ago. On one of my early visits to her gravesite I took our beagle, Bailey, along. As I stood there remembering so much, I told Bailey that Carol was right down here and I touched the ground. He started to dig furiously, throwing dirt out between his hind le...

1. Lee will send you a custom FCD for whatever case you send them for twenty or so bucks, so it may be worth doing that. ( Currently the spike in reloading interest has them backlogged, but I think it was $29 last time I checked .) 2. I prefer the 'rifle' FCD vs. the 'pistol' FCD (there is a BIG di...

Great photos Ted, beautiful bride.

Last week I was at a silhouette match and the fellow I teamed up with was using "Russian" primers. Minimum of two primer hits for each shot he fired. That's enough to tell me that I don't ever want any of those. I don't think he had any failures, just took up to three hits to fire. Also, w...

The May issue of "The American Rifleman" has a bit of Mark Keefe's reasoning on this matter. He says it's a simple matter of supply and demand. He cites, for example, a friend that bought a case of 22 LR and called, all excited at his find. Mark interrupts the friend saying that he never b...
