I knew those engineers from A&M were good, but I wasn't aware of how good.

Texans love a good joke, just look at how much we love baseball and the team closest to Dallas is already 15 games out of first place after playing 10.

Ricky I think I can make it. Joe, if those paper plates charge then I better change by brand of coffee for something safer. I'll bring the carbine and the pistol both chambered for the .480, and I have a .45lc with some moderately heavy loads that is fun to shoot. I also have a Rock Island Armory 19...

When I was young, maybe about 10, I shot my Dad's double barrel 12 gauge and stuck a finger on each trigger. I was a skinny kid and if one of my older brothers hadn't of caught me, I would have been flat on the ground. I held onto the gun, but I never shot it again.

Ji: Hawaii does have a lot of history to be proud of, too. When my Wife and I visited Oahu a few years ago, we toured the royal palace. King (David?) Kamehaha was very far ahead of his time with the palace. The Polynesian Cultural Center was great and highly informative about the islands history and...

Ricky I'm going to try some H4227 in the .480. It is the slowest burning powder that I can find a recipe for with the 400 grain bullets. In the carbine barrel it should actually give a boost in velocity. I was out of town this weekend, and didn't have time to do anything. I need to order the bullets...

piller

Ricky, when you are feeling better, give me a shout and I would like to come over there to go shooting. If you want to try the .480, sure, have at it. As soon as the new 400 grain bullets arrive, I need to load up some more heavy loads. I'm going to try a slower powder for the carbine so that the lo...

Thanks, I looked and I do have some H110 on hand. I'll work up to that and see what it does.

Does anyone have a recipe for 340 grain lead plain base Wide Flat Point lead bullets for a .45LC in a Ruger Blackhawk? I have a box of these and would like to try them out. There doesn't seem to be a listing for them in anything I can find.

I have a shot of whiskey or a glass of wine in the evenings sometimes, but I have a nearly pathological fear of guns and alcohol together from when I worked in a hospital. If seeing what comes in to the E.R. after drinking and messing with guns doesn't scare the hell out of you, then I don't want to...

We have done some good for Iraq while we have been there. People outside of Baghdad are just now learning what electricity, running water, and indoor plumbing are. My brother recently came back from the sandbox of Mesopotamia and told me this. The fact that some good can be found in all of this shou...

Unless you are taking chances which could result in harm to you or others, then it probably isn't really a mid-life crisis. Sounds like you have just found another way to have fun and stock the freezer at the same time to me.

Oh, yeah, Charles---you forgot Jim Reeves. The first singer to have a number 1 on the country chart and a number 2 on the pop chart with the same song in the same week. Later some King of Rock did it the other way 'round.

Charles: I wasn't born in Texas, but I got here as soon as I could.

Texas has it all, and the medical people are top n...

That, or the Davy Crickett. Either one will work. CRS, we should talk Ricky into getting one for his granddaughter. What do you think?

Ricky, I finally figured out what was missing from the picture. Where is the .22lr for the little lady? If she doesn't already have one, then you need to buy her one. You have seen the little short single shot types. I bought my son one several years ago, and with the Aquilla quiet rounds it was per...

I am having to sit this one out, too. PapaBear, is your daughter still interested in going next year if I bring my daughter along to get her first elk? Joe, is it possible to do it with a couple of young ladies along and having a room for just them?

Maybe I god a good one, but my BH with a 4 5/8" barrel shoots the .45 ACP just great. The .45 LC in it does better than I am capable of in accuracy. I shoot 300 grain Speer flat nose soft points with Hodgdon Lil Gun and get about 1200 fps. That load is amazingly accurate for me. The only thing ...

I am only 42, but when I was 14 the local K Mart would let kids in coveralls buy shotgun shells during Pheasant and Quail Seasons. They never asked for ID, and strangely enough there wasn't a single case of anyone shooting anything in town. We all had guns, and there was not enough crime to report i...

I read about St. Gabriel Possenti on Fr. Frog's website. Sounds like someone who read the book of Luke well. Maybe it wasn't a sword, but the idea is the same. Luke 22:35-38.

All in all, that hunt was one of the memories that will last a lifetime. I am taking my daughter there next year after high school graduation. She wants to hunt an elk, and once I get my vacation time for it, I hope Joe can be there to guide her. Richard has a great place. To everyone who was there,...

Thanks Ricky, I just read it. The story on the Water Buffalo is that Joe and I were in the truck with Mike and I think it was Bill. We saw the Buff and I wanted it. I called my wife and asked if I could spend the money for it. She said yes and I asked Joe if the .480 Ruger would do the job. He asked...

That Junior sized hog was taken with a 400 grain Speer Gold Dot pushed by 19.8 grains of H. Lil Gun (Speer Manual lists 20.0 as max). I recovered 2 nicely mushroomed bullets, and 1 very torn up. The meat is real lean, and tastes great. The rifle was a Legacy Arms Puma 92. It was fun, and a little sc...

I put a Tasco red dot on the 336C my wife swiped from me and she loves it. The red dot covers exactly where the bullet hits out to about 150 yards. It works fine for me when I can get it away from her, and I spend 40 hours a week staring at a computer screen. That is kind of rough on the eyes.

If you are using an old file, keep it from getting hot as it is already tempered. If you heat it up too much it will be ruined. Keep a bucket of cool water near you and dip the file in it after each pass. Files take a long time to shape as they are already hard. They make great cutting instruments i...

Everywhere I listen to people talk about cartridges here in the Dallas area they all think that a 7mm Rem Magnum is the minimum for deer. I just can't figure out how the old timers did everything with guns that were just too underpowered to be useful. :wink: :wink: :wink: I guess the large part of t...

Based on Gunblast.com reviews of the Puma leveraction, the .480 Ruger cartridge, and the KelTec P3AT, I have purchased a KelTec, and a Puma in .480 Ruger and am totally satisfied with both.

It gives me back some faith in our Country's chances for long term survival to see that this list shows backers from both major political parties. I had all but given up hope that people could see good sense beyond party platforms.

I was kind of under the impression that only the 50 BMG was banned. Remember Ronnie Barret's letter to the LAPD about why he wouldn't send their rifle back after they sent it back to him for repair work. Glad that the .480 isn't banned. It is having a hard enough time hanging on to life without bein...

I still like my Marlin 336C in 30-30 that my wife took from me. She had the stock cut down for her, and I still miss that rifle. It shot exactly where I pointed it. When she goes deer hunting with me, that is what she takes. Some mass production guns just seem to be put together better than others. ...

In the hunting area, JD recently stated that a 50 BMG round would cause problems if necked down. It is already done in the .416 Barrett.
