Welcome, there is a good bunch of guys here.

Wife and I decided we don't want kids. We are going to tell them at dinner.

Bullard4075

Had lunch Thursday with a forum member and his charming wife. It's so encouraging and refreshing to talk to like minded people. So much negativity bombards us daily that talking to fellow patriots keys us to remember there are far more of us than of them.

Bullard4075

Very,very good.

Nosler Book #9 lists it in the 950 fps range in the 44 Special section. In the bullet reference section they describe it "Allows for reliable expansion and maximum accuracy across a abroad velocity range."

Nice going. Nice to see another Bullard in the group. Mine could be a twin except mine has a pistol grip. Have you got the Bullard books? I hope to shoot a Buffalo with mine (40-75-260) this winter. Is yours a true 40-65 or 40-75 ?

Bullard4075

I'm overloaded.

Outside of hunting and the like I do not open carry. I never leave the house without carrying, just not open. Furthermore I am a firm believer in what I've heard called the "Grey Man" concept in that I do not wear anything ( NRA shirts, Pro 2ND shirts, etc) that draws attention to the craz...

Just curious...Why do you desire enamel cast over regular cast? I've used cast iron for decades, but have recently started using a high quality triple clad stainless steel. It heats more evenly, and if used on low/medium heat like cast iron I can't tell the difference, except it's way easier to cle...

Here in South Central Montana (Billings) my Ruger M77 Tang Safety 30-06 would normally, and has had, the nod. When chance at heavier game like Elk and up I have more assurance with my Remington 700 Classic in 35 Whelen. Lighter game in years past (Antelope,Whitetail/Mulies) has been the 257 Improved...

Wife would like a Dutch Oven. Enameled Dutch Oven. (We) bought her one at Walley World. Error on a couple of levels. Lodge cookware -what WE bought - is USA made says I. Well yes and No. Fine reading reveals that Lodge is US made except for the Enameled selections which are made in ......drum role.....

Someone awhile back (wayyyyyyyyyyy back) asked for some pictures of my 40/75/258 Bullard. As a dumb kid some 50 years ago I mixed up some brown tinted bedding compound to fix a gouge or ding in the pistol grip of the stock. That is what that brown dog doo on the pistol grip is. I seem to recall some...

To those that are interested the just out "Guns" magazine "Old West , History,Guns & Gear" volume #88 has a pretty good article on the Bullard Rifle titled strangely enough "The Fabulous Bullard Rifle".

Bullard4075

Hahaha!

Heading out this morning up the Stress Highway for two weeks for moose. Continue this after I get back. My Bullard is in both Jamieson books as we wrote back and forth during the writing.

Bullard4075

Didn't know anyone else here had one. Mine (40/75/260) is serial numbered below 1000. In Alaska presently, getting back home I'll try to post a picture. There is two fine books on Bullards.

Bullard4075

Good info.

Bullard4075

I still use the old Lee screw in hand primer tool. Very slow but sure. Dillon 550B also.

Bullard4075

Very interesting.

Bullard4075

I'll be getting mine!

Bullard4075

I have always wanted to shoot one down. It was one reason I always went armed back in the day. I figured that if I could get a cast bullet into their flux capacitor or maybe the FTL Drive it would bring one down. Heck, a .45 caliber semi-wadcutter through most any part had to be damaging enough tha...

Bullard4075

Seems I asked this same question a while back with mixed (if I remember correctly) results. Have to look it up as I have 500 300gr BB .429 cast slugs with only 44 Special guns now. Don't have the time at the moment.

Bullard4075

My experience (with mine and others) is a new hand cut muzzle crown and 2650fps/165gr bullet tends to tighten things. That is if you have a problem to begin with. I think sometimes too much is expected of this COMBAT/SERVICE. rifle. Not that exceptional examples don't shine.

Bullard4075

Thanks !

Bullard4075

Been shooting alot of Berrys, especially lately. I think they are good to about 1200 or so. I cut a very slight bevel on the inside case mouth and with a little bell I've had no issues.

Bullard4075

Here in Billings it's all on the same station 95.5FM/970AM. First in the morning Montana Talks followed by Rush (RIP) then Hannity then Levin (till he gets screamin). TV in the evening is Tucker at 6 then maybe Last Man Standing , Blue Bloods and or Gunsmoke.

Bullard4075

That's right up there with don't EVER say you are depressed. And that's no joke.

Bullard4075

+1 of most everything said. My Charter 2000 44 Spl is one of two carry - the other 45ACP Kimber Compact CDP- guns. Light loads for practice and factory SWC HP for attitude control.

Bullard4075

Thanks for the input.

Bullard4075

Interesting. I'll have to read again......slowly.

Not to hijack but a closely related question. I have a bunch of Large Pistol Mag primers and no mag pistols any longer. Large Pistol Primer in 45 Acp loads??

Bullard4075

A Western Field (Mossberg 48A) tube fed bolt gun my dad bought for my mother in 1930's. Shoots short,long and long rifle much more accurate than I am. Receiver sights, fairly nice wood and glass, crisp trigger. Coyote,Bobcat on down it's done it all.

They will be used in a Lipsey's .44 Special Blackhawk. Hotrodding is not an object. That said this Ruger will hurt you before you hurt it with any reasonable Special load. These bullets going to waste is what I'm trying to avoid.

Bullard4075

Good info.

Bullard4075

The situation is thus: I no longer have 44 mag pistols nor rifles. What I do have is a box of 500 (or so) 300 grain, cast, bevel base SWC. I can find no data for such for 44 Special. Anyone waded in these waters? Safely out a 4 5/8 barrel is the the minimum, even close to max not desired. Unique the...

Bullard4075

Lots of good info for I'm considering the same. Thanks guys. Color blind info was interesting also as I've never heard the too many colors version.

Bullard4075

OK WHAT AM I MISSING HERE? Who proposed this? Give me a link please.

Bullard4075

I'm 66 also, not given to fads, and have been shooting since 11. I shoot different rifles, cartridges and loads because... that's just what I do. It's fun. Year to year I shoot game usually with a different rifle or load each year because...........I want to. I've hunted with and shot 458 Mag and do...

Bullard4075

I got a 6.5 CM for the wife. Ya I've heard the (good trade) joke before. Two weeks before season she expressed a desire to shoot her own deer. Two weeks before!! I needed a short stocked (trigger pull), light weight, light recoil deer ,maybe even elk capable rifle. I bought her a Savage Axis II Yout...

Bullard4075

I will be looking at rocks much closer now.

Bullard4075

Worth looking into. Thanks.

Bullard4075

I remember years ago (25-30) coming across a buck limping with a green, I mean green, shoulder. Wasn't legal but I put him down anyway, thinking the right thing to do. Talking my way out of a ticket - if caught- was not a worry back then with the wardens of the time. Today's Montana warden is more l...

Bullard4075

Gosh I love this place. Learned a few things.
Y'all like Jeeps. Some don't
Y'all hate import 92's Some don't
Don't set 6gun off. Some do anyway.

But we all fuss at each other without name callin. Directly.Mostly.
Reminds me of family.
I'll be back.

Growing up in Daytona Beach (Ormond By the Sea technically) Florida my father had a Texaco Station/Mechanic/Welding Business. I wonder how many of those quart (later some gallon) oil cans I spouted ? The big square tank held kerosene in our place. The place was on A1A with the beach literally across...

Bullard4075

OK I haven't read all (most not all) of these threads but one question I haven't heard asked nor answered is when did God invent/start time. Put another way did God "invent" time for man and (no pun intended) when ? At the creation, God created (for example) trees. Not seeds to grow into t...

Been there, done that. Prayers up.

Had the chance a few years back to shoot (not hunt) a buff. Meat was the primary motivator with everything else icing. A friend manages a private herd with culling part of the mix. Range was some 45 yards and a 225 Accubond 35 Whelen boltgun the protagonist. One shot to the base of the ear,cleaning ...
