My first Grandson was born yesterday morning a little before noon. Bennett Lloyd was 21.5 inches and a little over 10 pounds. Big hands and feet just like his Daddy. My son is 6’ 4” with size 16 shoes. Momma and baby are doing well. Visiting today the little fella nursed three times from 10:00 to 1...

I only ever met one - and I told him to be very quiet when he left, as I also take sound shots.
He got very pale, and tip toed away....

Among many other things, that you couldn't miss shooting at a snake if you aim at his head because it would see the bullet coming and strike at it, and get kilt....Grandpas could come up with the damdust stuff. Also said all you needed for rabbit hunting was a salt shaker. How many you old geezers ...

How is ammo availability for .256?

I think I may just copy this guys inlay work on the stock …… I have that Iver Johnson shotgun I just picked up as a practice piece …… maybe some rabbit prints? Or bird tracks?

I like it!

Looks good, but your gun will have to make the final decision.....

let's not be too quick to judge Grandpa - there are many reasons that may have prevented his passing along the knowledge, perhaps the grandsons family lived far away, and the opportunity wasn't there until they moved back - or grandson was spending the summer. perhaps Dad wouldn't allow it, because ...

Older gentlemen who seemed to be there with his teen age grandson who was looking at a kit you assemble to create a work bench out of 2X4"s. "If you need a kit and directions to build a work bench, then you have no business needing a work bench." I stopped, locked eyes with the old g...

Back in my IHMSA days, I used this bullet in a 10" Contender.
It worked pretty well, even on those 200 meter rams.

sounds like somebody is doing cheap drugs...

That's a crying shame! Looks like a clean break, should glue up fine. Might need a couple pins through the wrist but they would be visible, would draw attention to the break. A competent smith should be able to fix it, if not find a furniture maker or antique restorer if you recess the pins and put...

Most Americans think snipe do not exist. Snipe hunting here usually is a joke played upon an unsuspecting person. It sort of explains why so many over here are never starting in hunting. I had that trick played on me when I was a Boy Scout - it took a long time before I learned there is such a thin...

God put mosquitoes here too, does that mean you won't kill one of them?

personally I would have run it over - then backed up to see if it was dead!!!

I leave snakes be in the outdoors, around the house is different. They get whatever is handy, usually a shovel, sometimes a 410 with birdshot. No way snakes can intercept bullets, they aren't faster than mongooses, I don't think their even faster than cats, neither of them can bite incoming bullets...

Merle

My Grandparents were death on ALL snakes. Too bad. Grandpa claimed that if you aimed a .22 short at a copperhead's head that he was so fast that he would strike at it and get himself kilt....I suspect he was always smiling a bit when he said that. :wink: there's a nugget of truth there. I recall on...

There aren't many - but we need them even more today....

I have a TC Contender super 14 in 25-35; I wonder how these would perform in a slightly shorter barrel?

I've had good luck with CFE223 in my Grendels , but I drop it from the meter relatively close to the desired charge weight and then trickle in more as the pan sits on the scale . Not saying it doesn't meter close enough I just prefer to weight the charge most times . For loading the small quantity ...

I worked Africa/ME circuit when I got out over 10 years ago. To be honest not many of us really got the experience to compare a lot of guns. Smallarms are 5.56, contractors mostly get end user certificates for 7.62x39, some 7.62 x 51 amongst euro guys. By the late 2000's the game was more about sho...

Merle, sorry to upset you with my response.

I agree with Paladin on the cartridge, gun and even his method of obtaining a more desirable gun. :D The MP5 is a lot lighter and ergonomic than the Uzi but I don't know the MP5 as well as the Uzi.
