Guy I went to school with put together a very beautiful 7mag, full octagon bbl, gorgeous hunk of walnut. We were out on one of the local ranches shooting prairie dogs and here comes Kevin. He sets up a target at 100 paces but the lay of the land he couldn't see the cardboard box from across the hood...

GunnyMack

Finally got the Lee factory crimp die today. Got home, watched for the end of the world- er I mean eclipse then crimped the 43 rounds I had loaded and headed for the range. So as mentioned elsewhere, this rifle is a strange thing, model 65 barrel, left side drilled & tapped( poorly!) For a side ...

GunnyMack

The foundation was really bad, cracked on all 3 sides- no solid cores or rebar! Couldn't be saved. Now a new foundation and it will be 2 stories.

GunnyMack

Wow! You look awesome Jim!!!

GunnyMack

Not totality here but the birds kept eating and my dogs were in complete indifference to it all. I found a #11 lens to take a peak, no matter what I tried my phone wouldn't capture a worthwhile image. Hey, grass grows in the dark too! So I put the crimp on some 218s and went to site in, test powders...

GunnyMack

I haven't even thought about the throats on my 41, just don't shoot it enough to be bothered. I spend most of my time with a scattergun!

GunnyMack

Of course I will never give up my Single Six 44 special!!!

It's not mine, the guy I traded with turned it into the K. I've lost touch with most of my classmates.

GunnyMack

Well, I have to say my 41, 4⁵/⁸. Why that particular one? Because I already own it.

I had a 7.5 SBH in 44 mag, between the squared off trigger guard and the obnoxious recoil of full house I traded for a K22. The SBH became a 22K-hornet.

Sadly Nest cameras were bought by google so now ads pop up while watching.

Enjoy the show!

GunnyMack

Yup these are a Keith bullet!

20240407_182128.jpg

I just realized how long these have been sitting around, top left corner shows 1982!

GunnyMack

Well Scott make this your backup gun

I'll have to give these 250gr cast a closer look to see if they are a Keith or not. I got a shipping tote full of bullets, supplies, brass years ago from a widow. In it was a couple hundred of these as well as a bunch of 158s for 338/357.

GunnyMack

I won't run anything as hot as that, my Special is on a Single Six frame . I don't want to chance this 1 of a kind blowing up. John Gallagher and I put it together while we were attending the gunsmith program at Trinidad St Jr College.

GunnyMack

Kind of making me want to go shoot my Single Six Special! I have a bunch of 250 cast bullets but no Unique. I do have Universal which is just a tad slower. Though no data for it with 250s. You can use the same data as Unique. Start with 6 gr and work up if you feel the need. You may decide to stop ...

GunnyMack

You have indeed done everything to make it shoot. Keep us posted!

GunnyMack

That's a beaut!
What exactly is the experiment here ?

GunnyMack

Chickens aren't that smart to begin with as we all know, I wouldn't think a bulb going out would be enough to make her leave the nest but that her instinct alone would be enough.
But what do I know, I don't eat chicken but ill eat their kids.

GunnyMack

Around here this 4.8 is enough to make everyone on edge, just not a common thing.
Had a couple more shocks this morning.

GunnyMack

Still hasn't shown up! Tracking said yesterday now today by end of day. The second FCD and Hornady 46gr Bee bullets I ordered directly will be here tomorrow.

GunnyMack

I didn't have to explain to Claro and Parker as one has been around 3 different litters and the other has lived it! Sage certainly gave me a serious sniff test.

GunnyMack

First pup was 529am, last at 919 am. 7 pups in all- less than 4 hours!
3 yellow 4 black, 3 girls 4boys.

They are setting up the puppy work web cam , as soon as the bugs are worked out I'll share the link.

GunnyMack

I was fortunate enough to get almost a full night's sleep anyway!

GunnyMack

Another boy!
Another girl!

GunnyMack

And a boy and another girl! A friend of mine helps me when I have puppies and I help her. My phone rang at 4am and headed over in time to assist with the first delivery. I was closest with pup #2 and delivered the boy. Just over and hour for first 2 and then 20 minutes for the third. This litter is ...

GunnyMack

Huh, guess my ol memory ain't what it used to be as I remember it is a floating chamber. At any rate they are great 22s!

GunnyMack

I've got a PPC barrel floating around here for a mod 10, now if I could just find a donor to put it on.
Funny thing is I remember getting a model 10 and the PPC barrel but I have no idea where the revolver went... must have traded it off.

GunnyMack

The earth does this all the time across the globe, it's part of our living planet. When it stops quaking then it's time to worry. Society today is so wrapped up in their own little world that they don't understand the natural world. Nothing of value is taught in school anymore. I slept through the n...

GunnyMack

They are great rifles! I can remember shooting a friend's off sand bags hitting baby aspirin at 25 yards. I have one in the safe( a 572 also) and I really should take them out to play. The 552 has a floating chamber so S,L,LR can work and that's why the are so dirty. But the system works very well. ...

GunnyMack

Yup, a 4.0 on top of the multiple smaller aftershocks. Neither was more than 5 to 7 miles away as the crow flies.

GunnyMack

I've been joking about that this is the beginning of the end! :lol: Earthquakes as any normal person knows are a non stop every minute of the day occurrence. It's just how a living planet works. On the other hand, the rumors are swirling around about something BIG happening on Monday, cyber attack, ...

GunnyMack

My word that short barrel must belch enough flame to sear a Tbone!
I'm with you Bill, let someone else squeeze the trigger.

GunnyMack

Been 5 aftershocks now.
Just stopped by the hardware store, said they had all kinds of stuff falling off the walls.
Sage does NOT like the after shocks, jumps up and starts barking which wakes Parker and Claro but they just go back to sleep.

GunnyMack

No fracking here Bill! Just had a 2.2 Aftershock. Fox News says it's the biggest quake for this area in 140 years. It's made national news, my aunt in Idaho called to check in. So we played hooky today. We were just getting ready to launch the boat when it hit. Talked to another guy who said he felt...

GunnyMack

Just had a 4.7 quake here! Biggest that i ever remember . Second in a month or so.

GunnyMack

Dunno, never saw one in person but I bet a guy could have a lot of range time with one .

GunnyMack

Everything has come to a screeching halt! Was all set for insulation when owners brought in a guy to do surveillance cameras, he is a week from getting here. Now we are on hold for him and the barn company owes us material that they neglected to ship with the kit. Spent the morning gathering tools a...

GunnyMack

Now it says delivery by 9pm today.
I got the refund applied back to my account.

GunnyMack

No, No7- I ordered it after the bridge and it is shown to be in my state.

GunnyMack

You could try shim stock, sold in various thicknesses. A drop of blue loctite between the dovetail and shim stock should hold well enough.

GunnyMack

A guy would go broke keeping a belt fed 22lr going!

GunnyMack

Email from Midway, claim is trucking is the cause for this order being late. They say in some cases 11 day backlog. Why? What's the cause ? Did I miss something...
But they have refunded me the shipping cost, I guess I can live with that.
New updated delivery is now by the 9th..

GunnyMack

Come on Doc, you know you need a 500 revolver to go with your Big Horn 89! :D If that BFR was mine I would change that brake , only port from sides and up to the top to help keep the muzzle down a little more. But then again I wouldn't buy one of those to begin with... Apparently he was traumatized ...

GunnyMack

Due to weather, barn owner making changes, waiting on material we knocked off early today so I went to the post office and get some info on tracking. Seems the distribution center I see on tracking is not a USPS facility. So who knows what or where it is!

GunnyMack

Midway ships UPS then transfers to USPS and that's where the order goes cold. I checked tracking again last night, now supposed to be delivered by the 6th. Meanwhile, I ordered another FCD and a box of Hornady Bee bullets directly from Midway as I don't have much faith the first order will ever show...

GunnyMack

Trying to get this 218 Winchester out to shoot. Being a tube fed gun I ordered a FCD die off amazon with the thought I would get it fast! HA, the joke is on me as tracking number has it in the same location for 5 days.... Chat with the virtual worthless AI on amazon tells me to contact the seller di...

GunnyMack

And another Catholic church was set on fire in Brooklyn yesterday as well. Fully involved 5 alarm fire.

GunnyMack

That's a LOT of cabinets!

We started the 2x6 T&G , it's southern yellow pine( same thing as pressure treated but not treated) and it has more twists, turns, warps than the Snake River. Hydraulic jack to get some of it in place!

What I miss most are magazines that have more content than advertisements.
