Yep, been checking necessities for seniors. A widely advertised service for Brookings is a prepaid ambulance (air and ground) insurance for transportation to Crescent City or Florence. There is a clinic/small hospital; Sutter Coast Hospital/Health Center in Brookings. Yes, I've been doing my homewor...

mikld

Does the failure occur with all types/sizes of bullets?

mikld

Hey Oregonians,

Going to Brookings for a couple days next month, I'll be checking it out for retirement. Won't have any guns with me but I'll need to check out the shooting in the area (ranges, shooting spots, gun shops, firearms friendly

, etc.). Anybody have info?

Thnx

mikld

Check out the Remington Ballistics chart. About midway down on the third page, not too impressive.

Do you know your rifle's bore size? Slugging the barrel is necessary to shooting accurate lead boolits. My only .44 long gun is a Puma, and it wouldn't shoot well until I sized my boolits to match the bore.

That is IF yer shootin' lead!

I too get tired of "experts" explaining how life is in CA especially when they live in one of the more backward states! The only thing about CA is our restrictive gun laws. And remember, what happens here will soon happen where you are (watch for lead bans in your state too, Texass, Orygun...

mikld

Yeah, So. CA has a lot going for it; great beaches; lots to do (I too went sledding in the morning and surfing in the afternoon) and see, etc., but if you want to do ANYTHING in LA area there is at least 1,000 others wanting to do the same thing at the same time at the same place! Of course there ar...

Buck,

87% of the population of Hawthorne is comprised of minority status races (ie. non-caucasian).

mikld

Stew71, You seem to know the truth

I work for the City of LA and see a LOT of it... If I didn't have such a good job I sure as hell wouldn't be here!

mikld

Working in Hawthorne is probably OK, but I wouldn't live there again. High crime, high minority population (87%), high unemployment, high cost of living (compared to other areas of US). If I were to suggest a place to live while here for an extended time it would be Redondo Beach, Torrance, El Segun...

mikld

What would it hurt to box them up and stow them away? 2,00 bullets and 500 cases couldn't take up too much room. Keep 'em. .44 is a great caliber, and one might come back your way.

mikld

I cast boolits for two calibers; 44 and 357. I don't own a lubersizer and don't plan to get one. I only lube up 100 - 200 at a time so I pan lube and/or tumble load with liquid alox. To size my cast boolits I use Lee push through dies. Depending on which gun I plan to shoot them in I'll use .430&quo...

If'n you need a project, I got a SS Ruger Super Blackhawk that need "cleanin' up"

mikld

I'd have to say my .44s would be my choice. Puma carbine in .44 and either my S&W 649 or Ruger Super Blackhawk.

I want one! Adjustable.

I have to agree, our society has an extremely short memory. I think it may have something to do with all the info we are bombarded with daily, everything from newest sex lotions to micro I Pod type toys. And too, I think many if not most Americans have the "what have you done for me lately?&quo...

This morning I got up and had coffee while messin' about the house. Since my blood pressure has been running a bit high I checked it; 145/75. Oh well, went to my "Gun Room" (the shed out back) and cleaned my new-to-me Ruger SS Super Blackhawk. Previous owner wasn't too good about maintenan...

First off, let me say this is my all time favorite forum, and I mean no offence to anyone here. Take this as an observation only. I find it funny that a group that believes as strongly in freedoms granted us by the Founding Fathers as the majority on this forum, uses censorship to temper the speech ...

Did the second guy come out and diagnose it too, or just go from your description and the first guy's findings?

Did you get them "on the wing"? Or did you have to stalk them? Wear camo?

Right now I'm looking at Fortuna. Wife an I have been there about 6 times to check it out and like what we see. The only problem with Fortuna is it is still in California!

Great post. I enjoyed your hunt too! Where in CA did you hunt? I'm in Southern CA for now but will be moving to Humboldt County soon. I've got my Puma running Ranch Dogs 265 gr 44s that I think will work pretty good on pigs and maybe some deer. I must confess I've been a city boy for 62 years (and h...

"I'm sure you will tell me my opinion is not allowed and use religious fervor to condemn me."

Too bad you can't make a simple statment or answer a question without attacking me! If this were any other forum I'd call you a closed mind bigot @#*%*, but I won't!

Ya think ya could elaborate on that statement?

mikld

A wide flat nosed bullet may be needed to feed in your carbine. My 44 Puma does not like semi-wadcutters, of any weight, so I feed her 260 gr WFN Beartooth lead bullets. They work fine in my S&W 629, Contender, and my Dan Wesson too. I just got a Ranchdog mold for a 260 gr TL bullet but haven't ...

I've got a single shot 30-30 (Handi-rifle) that I've been looking for a load to use. Thanks! Any info on a heavier spire point bullet; 150 -170 gr.or so, for 30-30 velocities?

Exwife had sleep apnea. For some reason she didn't use the machine (been 22 years ago and I can't remember why), so doctors did a tracheotomy (sp? cut a hole in her throat). Well, to make a long story short, the fog lifted and she divorced me! Yep, a good night's sleep can really change things!

I've didn't bid on two guns (1911s) on GunBroker because of the "NO CA" sellers. I guess it's thier loss 'cause I can still buy 1911s here! :lol: CA is definately NOT citizen friendly. Polititions can't control thier "good ol' boy" spending so they fight about it for several week...

I believe in the California Constitution it states English is the official language. So what? Do you think any of the Pro WB polititions care?

mikld

I agree with Glen. I suggest you slug your bbl and use bullets about .002" bigger than slug size.

The only "crimp" I use when reloading 45 ACP is just enough to smooth out the flare, leaving the mouth of the case square. The 45 ACP headspaces on the case mouth so I do not crimp any 45 ACP reloads. I use cast lead bullets and need a bit of flare so as to not shave lead when seating the ...

When I shoot .44 Specials in my Puma (handloads of 255 gr., .430" with a med light load of Unique) I get the sooty cases and an occational whisp of smoke from the receiver. I slugged the bbl. of my Puma and got .431" to .432", and when I load "normal" mag rounds with .4325&q...

I'm offended because you were offended by my dry humor.

101,
No need to justify another gun. You NEED a 327 and a 357. I NEED another 44. Just like my wife NEEDS another pair of shoes! The best reason I can give is; Because.

Been there. The answer I got is NO. I got angry at ex and tried to claim child as dependant, no can do. Full custody, not just partial or 50/50, is the determining factor. At least that is what I was told here in Calif.
