I have a Henry in 41 mag, when I first got it the only bullets I had on hand were Berry plated. Can you say 'copper fouling ' out the wazoo!? I've since run a bunch of JB Bore paste to clean up the rough bore and now it's only jacketed or cast, never had an issue with the plated in my Blackhawk but ...

GunnyMack

I got that inkling!

I miss my single six, was the same vintage but I sold it to get one of the early single six .32s. It saw just 1 box of 32 S&W before it became the donor frame for my .44 special. It's now a 5 shot, 4&3/4" big bore small frame. I need to get it out and go shoot it!

GunnyMack

I still have a receiver that my Dad put together from Heathkit. I really need to get a wire up and do some listening. I've had a CB in my truck since the 80's. When I was going to Canada fishing we all had radios in the trucks, even rigged a base and antenna for us to have coms. The radio I have now...

GunnyMack

The Lyman type sabot that look like an oversize air gun pellet that 6pt mentioned are for use in regular wads. I've shot some just for kicks and they work well. Bench rest accuracy, no but minute of deer certainly. Here where I am fish & game does not allow 'pumpkin balls ' out of shotguns but y...

I.D. of which Grizz, my Savage 220 bore? The thug slug o.d. ? Not so easy for bore but the Thug Slug is .620, its approximately. 850 tall, 1.695 oal with attached wad.

16687276189916078732323363778514.jpg

I'd try a .620 rb in your bore. I dont have any rbs large enough to slug my bore.

GunnyMack

Ah gotcha! Still the head space should have been correct before it was returned to you ! Trying to pull a fast one? Make darn sure he/ they foot the bill for their screw-up.

GunnyMack

He has to go a full turn, extractor cut has to line up again. As well as the forend hanger. So he has to set it back then chase the chamber and hopefully he can get it right for your ammo. And YES he should have used GO /NO-GO gauges. Wait is this an 'improved ' chamber? When using the improved vers...

GunnyMack

That 2buck load looks very promising! What distance? I have a fair pile of those Lyman 12 sabot slugs, no I take that back, not the Lyman's but the 'drive key ' Foster style. After all these years of deer hunting with slugs I've left the 12 for buckshot only and use my Savage for slugs. When the 220...

GunnyMack

That's one big hunk o lead! Me thinks you are going to try and make some venison with the 8, wonder when the last time a Parker 8 was used to shoot a deer? I've been playing with 20 ga hand loaded slugs, the BP Thug slug. I've tried 800x, Universal Clays, Longshot , Herco and PB. The PB has shot the...

If there is one thing about Claro it's that she is relentless when it comes to birds. She will not give up, a few years ago I sent her after a cripple into a rose thicket, over blow downs, down a hill. She was out of sight for 15 minutes but she brought that bird back. Sadly she is starting to show ...

GunnyMack

Thanks John, yes it was good to get out, run the hounds some. As for wasting ammo yes, my left barrel was Winchester factory 5s that would have killed with ease provided the barrel was pointed AT the bird!

Ah well at least I feel good enough that I can get out bow hunting as well!

GunnyMack

Yesterday started our 2022 season. I didn't go, round 2 of covid struck me this past Tuesday. I wasn't feeling up to it, nor did I want to expose the guys. When I found out this morning there was a surplus of birds today I gathered myself up , loaded both Claro and Parker and off we went. Sure enoug...

GunnyMack

Yes, setting it back a turn is the best thing to do, its definitely excessive head space. Send it!

GunnyMack

Define your misfire, Light firing pin strike? Heavy strike? Will it go off after a second hit? Are your primers seated correctly? If you are getting light strikes then it mechanical or headspace is excessive. Heavy strike it's a primer issue. What primers are you using? Try Federal Gold Medal. I'd t...

GunnyMack

The Jacks were always a fascinating critter to me as a kid when we would visit my grandmother summers in the south Lake Tahoe area. All I could get my hands on was a wrist rocket, I kept them on their toes! Then when I moved to CO, I didn't shoot them as we had prairie dogs galore. However I picked ...

GunnyMack

I load all but 16 & 10ga but I betcha 6Pt will be able to provide 10 ga data!

GunnyMack

Kinda OT but as I sat in my ground blind yesterday I got a text from a woman that took one of my puppies 8 years ago. The pup developed diabetes, which my Winnie, this pups mom has also developed diabetes. Anyhow as we texted back and forth she related she found a FB page for diabetic dogs. People h...

GunnyMack

I've been of the STOP THIS camp for a long time, mostly because my dogs do not know how to tell time! The girls wake me every morning regardless of what's on the clock face. This fall back garbage now has me up too early, it'll take a few weeks to a month to get their clocks back to my time. I say c...

GunnyMack

Black cumin seed oil is good for sciatica, I spent almost a year with a chronic nerve, tried the black oil and by gum if it didn't work... only downside is you ARE going to burp it or have heart burn!

GunnyMack

Umm, let's not forget about chiropractic treatments. Adjustments realign and open the nerve roots. After a T-bone car accident I took a center console in the lower rib cage. I now have a chronic T9 that comes and goes as it wishes. I get adjusted weekly otherwise I'd look like a ? (Tipping right) . ...

GunnyMack

No Nath I let the little guy walk. Not enough meat on these 1&¹/² year old deer to burn a $28.00 tag!

Our rut is getting ready to bust open at the seams- the only time I hunt strictly for antlers.

GunnyMack

No matter your style of pursuing game what matters most is being out there. As hunters we get to see and experience the great outdoors in a way the bunny huggers will never understand. Case in point, this past Saturday I was in my 'double wide' ladderstand with crossbow in search of a fat doe or a g...

GunnyMack

You were busy!
I spent the mornings running errands and afternoons in my tree stand / ground blind. Saw a mink on Saturday as well as a spike buck and a fox, yesterday I saw another fox and 3 deer. The only thing within bow range was the spike.

GunnyMack

I knew guys that built stands just as you describe. These guys were all over 6' and they also used spikes as steps, spaced about what seemed 4 feet apart! Back when I built stands I built " condominiums". One was large enough that I could lay down an take a nap. Now I much prefer to not ha...

GunnyMack

I have NEVER had an account with them but yet I get weekly emails from them saying my account is hacked, past due, etc. I just set it as spam and bye bye.

GunnyMack

Have you looked for 338 component bullets lately? More like unobtanium! I'm trying to work up loads for my 338 Federal and the rifle sits idle since I can't find light bullets!

GunnyMack

Paul here is THE answer! I recently saw this on utube. A box of JIFFY corn bread mix, baking soda and mix a 50/50 JIFFY and baking soda, mix well and put in an open container for the vermin to eat. Seems rats & mice can not burp ( from either end) and they become little fuzzy balloons. Best part...

GunnyMack

Silk thread?
Get any snow yet?

GunnyMack

All I know is there is enough chicken fruit there to keep me and my 3 kitchen sharks very happy!
Ya cant crack an egg without 3 labradors drooling on yer toes!

GunnyMack

Just a pinch between your cheek and gum, just be sure it's opposite to yer snuff! Or that's what we did as kids!

GunnyMack

I've cut a few on the table saw, using the miter gauge. To not change the pitch of the stock loosen the gauge and adjust it to hit the fence parallel and tighten it. MOVE the fence away and make the cut after taping the stock with any flavor of masking tape.

GunnyMack

That was easy! Sure hope that solves the trimming issue as we are waiting for a range report.

GunnyMack

I was going to suggest a call the the folks that make the Little Crow trimmer BUT without a shoulder datum( shoulder) they won't work!
A file trim die maybe?

GunnyMack

I use a product called ULTRA FINISH. Auto parts store is only place ive found it. I use it on stocks, metal work. Once just for the heck of it I ran a polyurethane finish out to 1200 grit normally I do finishes to 400, then did the Ultra Finish this box is soooo smoooth ya cant pick it up with your ...

GunnyMack

Those Saber tips are what he said he is sending, looks like quite the bullet for energy transfer. I like a bullet to use up energy in an animal. I shot a few deer with Remington 180s from a muzzle loader and most dropped on the spot, XTPs just go through and the deer run off before expiring... They ...

GunnyMack

Its more of a made to order thing.
Yeah his website is kind of strange, lots of back and forth to actually see the bullets.

GunnyMack

Oh and he also mentioned he is working on a 6.5 bullet, both bonded & unbonded.

GunnyMack

I saw an ad for Bill Noody's NP Bullets so I looked at his website and filled out his CONTACT form. Not an hour later he called me. I had asked if anyone has tried his bullets with sabots in muzzle loaders. When he called he said he would send me a few sample packs for me to try before ordering. Mr ...

GunnyMack

Wow that was FAST! Hurry up and get some loaded already-we need a range report ASAP.

Seriously though did they have those in stock or did they make them and ship in a few days?

GunnyMack

I've never understood why guys felt the need to etch or carve their license number all over a gun? I've seen it many times, and it always makes me cringe. At least the guy who did your 99 didn't get out the electric engraver and make it so deep it couldn't be polished off. Nice job saving it, and b...

Escape velocity is approximately 25,000 mph.
Or 36,666,667 feet per second.
So that's where all these dizzy politicians go for joy rides so they can come up with more crazy ideas!

GunnyMack

Umm, a longer fuse and tape it to the tennis ball then put the fuse toward the powder charge... don't ask me how I know

Gotta be a hoot to shoot!

Bet the dog will get plumb wore out chasing those tennis balls!!

GunnyMack

Certainly JB! Glad to help out. One thing that is always on my mind is why did X happen. In this situation X is a stuck/ separated case. Why did the case do that... dirty, pitted chamber? If its pitted DONT do a chamber cast, ( though why would a guy cast the chamber of a .22? ) as it'll stick into ...

GunnyMack

Funny thing is a dog i had in the past had a thyroid issue and the pills went into a grape and toss to the dog, she never had any side effects from it. Now large amount is a different thing. Ive lernt since then and don't give my dogs anything that could cause issues. Now my oldest, Winnie has becom...

GunnyMack

Great solution. Now the question is WHY/ HOW did said case part company...? I can't see it was an over pressure since the case capacity is so small... headslace excessive? Maybe a NO-GO & FIELD gauge is in order. If itis in spec for headspace and was my rifle I think I would polish the chamber. ...

GunnyMack

True the BAR can be very accurate, the factory spec was 3" at 100. As long as it was 3 or less Browning felt it was good to go. A buddy of mine has a grade V BAR in '06 that is very accurate. Besides, who wants to chase brass in the weeds?

GunnyMack

A boy and his dog, can't ask for anything better!
That Fallow is impressive.

GunnyMack

I believe Hastings USED to make barrels for the 500.
Or just ship the barrel off to Briley and have them put tubes in it for you. There others that can install choke tubes as well.

GunnyMack

That poor ol possum was just trying to find a dry place to weather the storm! Years back one of the hurricanes that caused us real flooding up here flooded the lumber yard where I was working. About 4 days after we all started getting flea bites when standing by the Coke machine. Come to find out 3 ...
