Re: Spending the afternoon indoors ......
Sounds like a fun day. Jim, you need to go see if that Confederate Soldier's ghost down near that college there will come shoot with you sometime. After all this time alone, just scaring college kids out playing in the river, he is probably lonesome for some real human company.

Re: Parker puppies ( OT CHANGED)
I bought some stuff to spray on cords which was supposed to taste so bad that a puppy would stop chewing. It never worked for my puppies. Teething is too strong of a force to stop at a bad taste. One puppy chewed through a set of 4 gauge jump start cables.
All I can say is good luck.

Re: What is your most useful levergun?
It’s accuracy enough to make up for the lack of power and I don’t think your typical Antifa soy boy is any tougher than a coyote. My experience is from Army training, but not actual combat. Few humans have the willpower to continue like a wild animal after sustaining a serious injury. A 22 Mag can ...

Re: What is your most useful levergun?
Absolutely. Accuracy is paramount to full power. A .480 with standard weight bullets (300-370) will cleanly take anything in the lower 48, and do great on most everything in Africa. I think the ability to shoot accurately and put your shot exactly where you want to, is much better than firing a how...

If it can eject a live round, then it seems that you have the C.O.A.L. right. I understand that is a dummy, but there shouldn't be any length differences. Obviously you know this.

Re: Rossi .45 Colt 92 rifle... and hot loads
.480 Ruger was made by Rossi. They run to a maximum of 48,000 psi. Honestly, that pressure is not necessary for most critters, but it is nice to know that you can get there if something big and dangerous needs to be whacked. That psi would be pretty hot in a .45 Colt caliber, but it certainly means ...

Not leverguns. Plus, the long gun is inexpensive. It is accurate and it works reliably. The handgun is old styled enough to fit in with leverguns.

Re: New Wildcat Project for my 1886 450 2.44"
I just looked at my notes. 9x 57 rimmed is what I was looking at. Less power and less pressure. A 20 gauge shotgun action is not really strong enough for much more. I have something in a combo for when I want to launch 400 grains at 1300 fps.

I haven't looked it up well yet. There is a 9.something rimmed cartridge that is straight wall and operates at a reasonable pressure for what I want to do. I think it sounds fun. I plan on starting this Fall.
