If you think you have hogs in your area and want to bait them up get some whole corn and put it in a pan or bucket and cover it with water. Allow the corn to turn sour, then set it out in an area where you think the hogs are they will smell the sour corn a looong way away. We used to get a 5-gallon...

We had something strange happen at our place: A few years ago, the hogs finally showed up. After about a year we stopped seeing them. They had actually left the area. I've never heard of that before or since.

The powerpoint will work fine for hogs. But if you already have the Partitions and want to use them they will also work very well. Can't say about anything else, but PowerPoints are deadly on anyone with an IQ over 80... (next slide please...) :mrgreen: Well, they can also be "loaded down"...

In #4, what if your hunt is coming to an end and you've got a last minute hard quartering to shot or a Texas heart shot? Joe, since you are now a fellow Texan, I must inform you that the correct terminology for our use is "California Brain Shot." FYI. :wink: Another good option in this ar...

Yes, 170-gr RN. Good bullets if you got the $$$.

The baseball team in Houston at that time was the Colt .45s (later became the Astros), hence the unconventional ground-breaking implements. The good ol' days, indeed.

Gotta love it.

I won't do Progressive, whatever the price. Peter Lewis is tight pals with George Soros and shares his anti-gun/freedom leanings and activities. Not that I'm a fan of the show, but Progressive won't allow its ads to be run during Glenn Beck's show. That's a not-so-subtle hint as to what they're abou...

Pete, I'll bet dollars to donuts that you can get on with them now. I just did last year and I've been out since '94. I was with AIG/21st Century through the NRA program, and USAA soundly beats them on price/service. In fact, I did it all online, easy-greasy. Didn't have to provide a DD-214 either, ...

You wouldn't want a "real" gate to get in the way of those retreating French would you? :lol: :lol: :lol: Not in WWI. The French did most of the Allied heavy lifting in that war. They suffered massive casualties, had superior tactics, etc., etc. They were "the Man," so to speak.

Well, IMO it's a matter of personal choice, not honor. That's just a backhand at your friends that might have a different opinion than you :P Nahhhhh, no backhand intended.

That round entered her text book behind the shoulder and should have punched right through leaving big blood. Instead it took some kind of crazy bounce and exited behind her off side hip. I don't know how that happened. That sounds exactly like a shot I took with my .270 last year with my favorite ...

Buck Elliott has some interesting thoughts on this issue; backed up with some pretty solid experience, to boot. Regardless, I still love my BB94 chambered in ".38-55 Super".

Except that in WWII and Korea, the .30-06 load had a 152-gr bullet.

So, why .308? Why not revisit the smaller caliber question at this time? There may be no logical explanation, aside from just the American obsession with all things .30-caliber. :) I do think at that time they were still wedded to the long-standing idea of rifles and light/medium machine guns shari...

RSY

My question is, if the Garand was chambered in .30-'06 because of all the surplus ammo, what is the reasoning behind the M14? Because by the mid-1950s everything was well-used and nearing end of service life. That included all the Garands, BARs, and Browning light machine guns. So, in typical Ameri...

I'm pretty sure the .375 Win. bores are standardized at .376". Your .379"ers may prove a tad big. Hopefully someone can confirm.

South Devon don't usually run that dark, they're more of a tan color like a Gelbvie. They're also polled ( no horns) But, there is a red Devon. You're right, they're usually polled, but I've seen a few that weren't. The lack of a hump makes me really think it's not a pure SG. Those that have sugges...

From what I can see it looks to be a Devon bull. The horns, color and the coat are very much like a Devon. I'm thinking you're right. The bull in the picture doesn't have the "face" of a Santa Gertrudis, nor does it appear to have the hump behind the neck. Second guess: The much-fabled, b...

RSY, :D I am thrilled, and a bit humbled, that you are still using those holsters. What a blast! :D 4 years seems like 4 months. Time sure flies.

These are a couple that Hagler made for me about four years ago (man, time flies). I carry my 3" SP101 in the black holster. I know he didn't set out to do so, but that holster couldn't be a better fit for the SP101. I especially like the detachable strap because I can carry it secured when I'm...

Well, I completely forgot that I have Duncan Long's book on the Mini-14 on my shelf. Here's what he says: 1. 180-series has a thinner gas piston. 2. Stamped metal for the forward sling swivel. 3. The external bolt-catch proved to be "prone to jamming in a dirty environment." There it is. S...

RSY

I have a first civilian year (1976) 180-series rifle and have always wondered why the receiver and bolt catch were re-designed for the 181-series and beyond. What were the shortcomings/deficiencies of the original design?

I think I got sidetracked onto case material, when the real issue inquired about was the coatings. I will distill my thoughts down thus: Coated ammo should not be run extensively through semi-auto or auto weapons that do not have chrome chambers.

Someone more knowledgeable than me, please correct me if I'm wrong...but, I thought all steel-cased ammo was intended for rifles with chromed chambers. Verdad?

Thanks, Pete, for the input. We'll see what happens... It's amazing how little those S&W's are worth these days.
