I was at work. No zombies other than the ones there for their monthly hydrocodone prescriptions.

When outdoors like that, if I find that I am trailing someone, I give a friendly shout. From there we can work out a mutually agreeable situation. If they want to be left alone, why not? Things can occur in the back country, and it is always helpful to not antagonize those you meet on the trail. I c...

Is anyone making them anymore? If the last place Paco was having them made would make them, even as a special order, I know of a few that would be ordered.

Sounds like it is enough for almost anything. No experience with the 44 Special, but those numbers seem to be in a good range. Enough power without a lot of recoil. How often do you really need more? Probably not all that often.

piller

B24s mentioned. A common name for them was MY ACHIN' BACK. One of about a dozen with that name was flown off of Fiji diring WWII. I guess they caused some unpleasant time while flying them.

I have a couple hundred rounds still loaded. 2 or 3 hundred lead bullets ready to reload.

Keep lookinh. Some stuff is coming back.

That is the ugliest groundhog ever.

Take a pepper packet from a fast food restaurant and keep it in a ziploc bag with your hunting gear, your range bag, and your fishing equipment.

Proof that even knowing what to avoid doesn't always make you avoid it. Having bandages, super glue, and black pepper when hunting or shooting is always a good idea. For those who are on blood thinners, black pepper sprinkled on the bleeding areas stops the bleeding and clots it faster than anythin...

I have a Mossberg 500 in 12 gauge. It came with the spare rifled barrel. It is the 3 inch magnum version for both barrels. I have never used 3 inch in it. It just doesn't sound fun anymore.

I bet that was comical to see.

I am still wearing glasses. 58, and nearsighted since birth. No cataract formation, no retina issues. Tried to get Lasik twice and was told that I was too nearsichted for it to work.

KelTec sent me the spring and guide rod when my son lost them. Taurus made a good one about the same size.

I was only 6 years old then. Would have been in Second grade. Was put into school a year early. Some high quality leather came out back then.

I do not consider the Fascists of Antifa to be part of our Country. Same with BLM, and a few others. I love my Country, and seriously dislike its enemies. If they start a war, I would have no hesitation in ending the threat as quickly and expeditiously as possible. I choose to NOT start the war, but...

Sounds like a fun day. Jim, you need to go see if that Confederate Soldier's ghost down near that college there will come shoot with you sometime. After all this time alone, just scaring college kids out playing in the river, he is probably lonesome for some real human company.

I bought some stuff to spray on cords which was supposed to taste so bad that a puppy would stop chewing. It never worked for my puppies. Teething is too strong of a force to stop at a bad taste. One puppy chewed through a set of 4 gauge jump start cables.
All I can say is good luck.

piller

It’s accuracy enough to make up for the lack of power and I don’t think your typical Antifa soy boy is any tougher than a coyote. My experience is from Army training, but not actual combat. Few humans have the willpower to continue like a wild animal after sustaining a serious injury. A 22 Mag can ...

piller

Absolutely. Accuracy is paramount to full power. A .480 with standard weight bullets (300-370) will cleanly take anything in the lower 48, and do great on most everything in Africa. I think the ability to shoot accurately and put your shot exactly where you want to, is much better than firing a how...

I smoke pork loins occasionally.

Root beer floats are a delightful treat. As a type 1 diabetic, they are rare for me.

piller

Nice guns. I don't have anything in .38 Special. It should be rectified.

piller

Not everyone is stuck on certain types or years. Like the rules say, we discuss almost anything---Politely.

300 blackout seems to be plenty useful. I have watched some videos on youtube where it was compared to other calibers. I have some larger and some more powerful things. Lots of power and noise is not always necessary.

piller

No one cares that they are of an older than levergun design. Very nice!

piller

Keeping it from being obvious is a good idea.

That should do just fine on deer or black bear.

These are fun. Both .22 lr.

OK. 327 and 32 Special.

Here is mine.

If it can eject a live round, then it seems that you have the C.O.A.L. right. I understand that is a dummy, but there shouldn't be any length differences. Obviously you know this.

Looked up a bit of data. Ruger only loads in .45 Colt usually go no more than 30,000 CUP. Approximately 30,000 psi. DO NOT QUOTE ME, look it up yourself and follow published data. I would feel safe using Ruger only loads in a rifle which handles .480 Ruger and 454 Casull. Work up carefully and have ...

piller

.480 Ruger was made by Rossi. They run to a maximum of 48,000 psi. Honestly, that pressure is not necessary for most critters, but it is nice to know that you can get there if something big and dangerous needs to be whacked. That psi would be pretty hot in a .45 Colt caliber, but it certainly means ...

Happy Birthday, eh!

Mountain Lions have been found in Texas not too far from Dallas. Seeing them is probably better than having them around and not seeing them. I have never knowingly been in their territory, and I am not really wanting to change that. If they were in my area, I would be keeping watch. My dogs that I s...

Alas, this is the one combo post I will not be able to contribute to personally. No .40-cal/10MM longarms in my collection... :( Here's a .40 S&W for you Jay. https://i.imgur.com/mRKdRCQ.jpg I keep this set in my company SUV. I was never a big fan of the .40 until I got one. Not the biggest and...

It works, and it is accurate. Sure is ugly, but I didn't buy it for its looks.

In gunnery practice at Grafenwoehr, we got to shoot a few of the HEAT rounds and in the evening they would light up the sky with all sorts of bright colors depending upon what metal they were burning through as they exploded. My older brother, commo sergeant for the Cav unit, said that the Germans ...

When it is your time, you probably have little choice. My condolences on your losses.

As we know, some powders can be position sensitive, and equipment error can cause light charges or double charges. Yes, the manufacturers need feedback. Good for Winchester.

piller

Could be fun.

piller

Cool looking guns. Not everything has to be pretty.

piller

You got it. That is the rifle which took a Water Buffalo/Cape Buffalo hybrid at Hondo.

piller

Clove first, pineapple second. Tangerine third. Wintergreen fourth.

piller

Very cool!

Not leverguns. Plus, the long gun is inexpensive. It is accurate and it works reliably. The handgun is old styled enough to fit in with leverguns.

piller

Here is my 40 cal combo.

piller

I just looked at my notes. 9x 57 rimmed is what I was looking at. Less power and less pressure. A 20 gauge shotgun action is not really strong enough for much more. I have something in a combo for when I want to launch 400 grains at 1300 fps.

Had to learn how to edit with this phone.

I will start it and go get a picture.
OK got the picture. I will post the caliber after a couple of guesses.
