Yes GK, average about 5 lbs!

So over this past weekend my old shooting coach and dear friend called me. When he calls I always answer the phone ' what did ya break this time ' Well this time he DID break something, his Beretta SO5 EELL. The SO series guns are top of the line o/u shotguns. Well he says I was shooting skeet today...

GunnyMack

Does anyone have one of those SSK coffee mugs advertised there?

GunnyMack

Thanks Jim I knew someone was doing that but couldn't remember who!
.243 jackets right?

GunnyMack

My pleasure! :D If you hadn't realized puppies bring me great pleasure as well :lol: The weather cleared a bit so I decided I'd get them out for a bit. 20230627_150511.jpg I've got plastic lattice, wire fencing, fence panels and a piece of hog panel to keep them corralled. Wouldn't ya know it one bo...

GunnyMack

Yeah, the 5mm is another one I would like to mess with, would have been great if it was centerfire but we already have the 22 hornet so ...

GunnyMack

Please let us out!

May be nooks and crannies but I can see where our forefathers had the same spark of an idea when they devised the jacketed bullet.

GunnyMack

Yes, any and all sounds go a long way for puppies. Imagine coming into the world and the only sense you have is a sense of smell. Then at 6 months old ( extrapolated per human vs canine) you can begin to see! Then a couple months later you can hear- my word talk about sensory overload! Just close yo...

I kind of stumbled upon this, set up one day to load 44s and I couldn't get a case to deprime when I realized a 40 case was inside and that's when the light bulb lit up! Of course this was around the one and only time I was going hog hunting and thought a solid might be a good choice. I took a huge ...

GunnyMack

Yes that is very important and yes my pups are handled daily by me and I invite people to visit as much as possible. They had a very busy day yesterday, friends stopped by as did my sister and niece. I do my best to introduce puppies to sights, sounds, smells and people. Sounds the past couple days-...

GunnyMack

In another post I replied that I have filled a 9mm case then soldered it inside a 40 to make .44 solids. Never shot a lot of these but they worked fine.

GunnyMack

It's ALWAYS the jerk behind the trigger Scott !! :D I'm NOT a good pistol shooter. Why- because I don't shoot them enough. I know I need more practice lots more but I'm not motivated to do it, cost, time, insert any excuse here. I'm a shotgun shooter to the core and I haven't been out to the club ye...

GunnyMack

Rust blue is a different process than hot salts bluing used today.
Also ' Belgian ' blue , used for soft soldered SxS & O/U shotguns. Which if done correctly gives the best color in my book.
Can also heat blue but timing is everything!

GunnyMack

It's a brand new day for a puppy ! I just took them out in a wide new world! When I had Parkers litter, not Parkers litter I made up some chutes with 2x4 and wire fence. Couple screws and I can easily put up or take down. So they got to go out on the deck today. Only the black pup took the ramp down...

GunnyMack

When it first hit the market I thought it would make a neat little varmint rifle cartridge then my practical side said you already have a 17 Remington, 22 hornet, 218 bee, 22-250 so I just gave up on it !

GunnyMack

Remember the Remington 240gr semi jacket ? I shot a few deer with them out of my muzzle loader, worked exceptionally well but don't shoot them in the shoulder! J-E-L-L-O

GunnyMack

I'm curious about the blueing criteria Y'all are discussing. Looking at western movies there don't seem to be any real blue blued guns. How blue were the guns that won the west? Did real-life frontiersmen and cow hands pick their guns based on the blueing? Did they trade them on new ones after the ...

GunnyMack

A 9mm fits inside a .40 case- fluxed and filled with lead( 50/50 solider )make good 44 solids!

GunnyMack

Thank you Jim, I'm not sure I want to try the 2400 load out of my little special.
I'll certainly look at those in detail and give the 41s a go !

GunnyMack

Please Jim what is your 44 special load? 41 load ? I never spent much time searching for loads in either of my Rugers. Of course I try to keep my 44 special load lite as I'm shooting them out of a single six frame. My 41 Blackhawk I'm just beginning to work with, I have a 210 and 245-ish moulds to u...

GunnyMack

Better late than never- good find !

GunnyMack

20230528_172422.jpg In the past few years we started getting these back. About 10 years ago the Rose brested grosbeaks came back. On a rare occasion I've seen red headed woodpeckers. None of them were here back when the state sprayed for gypsy moths! Of course we have these in abundance! D1CEC57A-5...

GunnyMack

I've seen light thin jacketed bullets melt in flight, 303 necked down to 22 going over 4000fps. You could actually see the vapor trail going down range . these were 40 gr varmint bullets. Since a cast bullet is homogeneous it can't really come apart due to spin. Only thing to worry about would be st...

GunnyMack

The UFO has landed!
It's weaning time and they are trying to figure out how this works!
No don't chew on it lick it ya silliest!

That'a girl Sage!

20230623_143201.jpg

GunnyMack

Not seen one but I'm with you, these types of guns NEED real blueing! These multi colored six shooters look fake, only thing missing is the orange muzzle.
I know these new coating are better for wear resistance, better rust protection etc but yuck to the color schemes.

GunnyMack

I've seen the same thing Nut, the bullets don't look lubed at all. Can't help you with regard to how they work as I'm still using up a bottle of Alox. ( I don't shoot much cast )

GunnyMack

Let the weaning begin! Parker is not making as much milk as the puppies would like so all this week I've been offering a very thin gruel. They have been kind of avoiding it but they are now lapping it up with enthusiasm. Won't be long now and they will be slipping around in the dish covering themsel...

GunnyMack

Yes, look at the Ruger Hawkeye series, I have one in 338 Federal and it's accurate tho a bit sharp in the recoil department being plastic stock and HARD rubber recoil pad. I think the 'guide series ' has irons installed. I had a 700 in '06 just like that and I learned I'd rather shoot my 338 Win Mag...

GunnyMack

I thought so ! The wood just didn't look like factory wood.
Now we need a range report for the 99.

GunnyMack

Isn't it the 360 Buckhammer?

GunnyMack

That'll do !
Is your #3 original wood or aftermarket?

GunnyMack

Yes the XTP mag, I believe some of the 44 cal 300 gr were their mag designation. It wasn't until after I spoke with all three manufacturers that I realized the muzzle velocity is not necessarily impact velocity so use the bullets for game and not worry much about it. :D That's a valid point Sir 👍🏻....

GunnyMack

So this afternoon I took them out so I could clean the box, boy they tinkle a lot !! When I was through I got on the floor with a few toys, squeaky toy, racquet ball, another ball with bb's in it. Sage didn't like the squeaky toy- she growled at me then barked ! 2 of the boys started to play with th...

GunnyMack

I'd stick with 158( min) and go up. JSP or hard cast.
357 has taken many lives be it 2 or 4 legged over the years.
Would it be my first choice? No but it'll work just fine.
Moose have been killed with the lowly 22, just gotta put the bullet in the right spot.

GunnyMack

Good for you AND him!!
Is he at least house broken?
Good thing about dogs is they don't dwell on the past. Feed him, love him and he will settle in.

GunnyMack

Henry is the closest thing you are gonna find. I like my Big Boy 41 but it's a bit heavy, maybe even a bit clunky.

GunnyMack

Also be sure to send me one for my idea!

GunnyMack

Normal morning of cleaning the box, pups up and around and I put them back in the box with a kiss goodbye and go to work. About 10 I get a call , I can hear a puppy in the background screaming! Leave the jobsite and rush home. Called the vet enroute to alert them. Jump out of the truck at the house ...

GunnyMack

That's a really good way for them to get their products in the hands of buyers!
What they should do is make a special run, number them and each of the folks that were fortunate enough to have it get the number they were. Included should be a book with everyone's notes, pictures etc.

GunnyMack

All I know is I saw a ' something ' a month or so ago that didn't make sense going N to S , the moon was even farther south but yet it was lite from behind. Wasn't ISSF, not Hubble as I checked their locations. No noise so it weren't commercial.

Give it a burnishing, cock it (unloaded) , putting the end of the tail of the hammer on a solid surface, add some body weight and pull the trigger. Do that a few times and you will notice a difference.

GunnyMack

Yes I do Bill, however I haven't met these folks so I can't jump to conclusions--YET !

GunnyMack

20230615_183450.jpg Last weekend a couple came from 2 hours away to see the puppies. They kind of picked a pup. They just left after spending about an hour holding, cuddling, playing with, getting tinkled on by all the pups. And they took an informal vote, mom-dad & son want the same pup from l...

GunnyMack

Shooting that well ya better not get her mad at ya Scott

All kidding aside she shoots it well !

GunnyMack

When I got my Henry 41 I worked up a couple different loads and tried the 210 XTPs, Sierra, Nosler. I was getting around 1800+ , then it dawned on me that Hornady made some XTP bullets for handgun bullets at rifle velocities. I called them and told the tech what I was doing . ' no the standard XTP i...

GunnyMack

Great old rifle ! The first centerfire I bought was its cousin the 760. Kinda miss shooting it.

GunnyMack

They were absolutely wiped out from getting that she'd back to the box!
