Nice pics of the sunrise/sunset?, having a climate cab rock drill is just to easy. :mrgreen: danny It's actually harder. Any driller who likes to be in a cab is no driller. Makes me think of that old saying --- Colder than a Well drillers --- in Alaska ! :) I grew up on a Cable tool rig. Nice pictu...

I have cooked a lot of it out in the fields with ROUND-UP

Maybe you should take in a few cockfights while visiting there and let your relatives place a few bets for you, pretty good chance 50/50, kinda like roulette betting red or black

only a lot more exciting.

Have a safe trip

Timely thread I rented a chamber reamer and opened up my ten inch 357 mag Contender to the 357 Max back in 2005. The only powder I have used to date is WC 820, and the bullets used have been the 180 and 200 gr RCBS, the Lyman 358315 and LBT 180 gr . My second trip to the range I hit on the magic cha...

I'm cobbling together a shooting bench and just curious if any of you have your own portable shooting bench, home made? So far I have a top made from two pieces of 3/4" plywood glued together and since I can't decide on legs, I'm going to use my Workmate to hold the top. Any hints/suggestions ...

Saw these at a local gunshow last week end. Labeled 30 cal, Lyman #2 alloy, 149 gr., 0.311 dia. Mold HB150. Guy said his Grandfather cast a bunch of them. Didn't have any further information. Anyone used these??? The bands are copper. He said they were not sized. Any info appreciated. http://i126.p...

Sorry Doc, stuff happens Right after I was first married my wife had some chickens, at that time I had a 9 month old Short hair pup, anyways to make a long story short the pup buried five of the chickens alive , he didn't kill any of them I trailed the feathers and found five chicken's buried in a r...

I thyink Hornady used to make 230 gr TC fmj bullets. They can be had from cast bullet makers also. I dont know who loads or did load ammo with those bullets, Hornady may have in the past and still might. Depends on what you want them for. I've shot 250-260 gr Keith/Lyman swc bullets in 45 auto.

A good remedy for bugs on chickens is to mix Sevin dust in melted Vaseline. If you can find the 10% Sevin dust it works longer than the 5%. Mix as much dust in as the Vaseline will take and still be spreadable when cool. Put a small dab under each wing where the wing connects to the body and another...

One of my chickens is in bad shape, went to check on them this am and she was on the ground outside the coop. She was barely moving, I have her inside by the pellet stove now. She is breathing, but her not awake. Praying she will make it. I don't remember this cold since the 1970's when I young and...

From the perspective on the guy on the ground, nothing touches it. Also, it is a very demoralizing foe for the enemy. When I was a kid, I used to mow and bale hay in a low field. Day after day the A-10s would roll over the ridge and practice firing runs on me. Later, we used to talk them in on targ...

Like you fellows I have shot all manner of pests. I live out in the country. Have shot possums, coons, rats while plowing the field, feral cats and dogs, snakes, fox, coyote, squirrels, skunks, one bobcat, several full grown cows and probably some pests that I have forgotten. Having said that, unti...

This past winter I had to dispatch a couple pests on my property, one was a feral cat, the other was a pack rat the size of a cat. On the feral cat I used a scoped bolt .22 and Velociters which use a 40gr HP at 1435 fps. As far as I've been able to find anywhere in decades of shooting .22, that is ...

saw a video of the 556 steel penetrator putting a hole through a 1/4" steel plate. a quarter inch plate isn't that great a barrier, but I suspect it would stop a 30-30 round. For comparison, the 99F puts a 150gr sp .308 clean thru a free hanging 1/2" thick stainless plate. I don't think t...

Lucky you, hope you get a nice one. When I used to hunt in AZ the season was short 3-4 days. I would have more fun doing my scouting than the actual hunt. By the time opening morning rolled around I would have 10-12 days of scouting under my belt. Scout till around 10 am then shoot Prairie dogs till...

Hard to shoot those buggers. Most of the first half of the summer they have had my road to the back forty flooded. I brought my tractor down and can dig out the dam in short order, but they rebuild fast. Since Sept. I've left the tractor there and have got the road leveled off again an, d kept the ...

I never would hunt with a clean barrel. One year I was real busy with work and found myself with a clean barrel the evening before opening morning of deer season. I had a friend from Alaska visiting so we ran up to the hills where I had some gongs set up and I laid down in prone and fired a shot and...

I've been searching off and on for a budget priced 32 S&W in need of a good home. I don't want a collectible.......just a solid S&W or Colt small frame. I like the nostalgia and I believe I can assemble an inexpensive plinking and small game loads, particularly if I can perfect a system of ...

J35

I would go with the RNFP. Load bullets that are the same size as your cylinder throats. Use a soft lube. With WC's you will most likely need a custom expander, and a powder measure that will throw sub two grain charges accurately. If your gun has fixed sights I would stick with 98 to 100 gr bullets ...

The "dots" -- Red Dot, Green Dot, Blue Dot, Unique -- have a lot of fans here, with me among them. But these powders have never metered real close for me (nothing like those ball powders) and I am not going to weigh these things for making bunches of plinking loads. So while +/- 2 or 3 te...

J35

I have an RCBS and two Saeco/Redding measures. They all will stay within .1-.2 gr with any of the Dot powders and that is close enough for me. Now if I were loading for rifle precision, I would want to get a little closer and probably drop into a scale pan and dribble up to the line. For handgun lo...

Another option for those who are thinking of getting another measure - I finally splurged and got a Harrell's measure , and it is AWESOME.

Well, CCI wrote back saying they have no plans for a .380 snake load. I still think it would sell. No interest in making your own?

howdy. O. I. it is not the rim diameter I was refering to ! It is the space for the extractor. If you notice they are the same on the acp and the 308. The 30-06 has less space for the extractor.

These work well from point blank to around 40 ft. They were made from .308 win.

I believe you could come up with a workable case made similar from .223 for the .380.

Occasionally you can buy the .38 capsules for reloading... Maybe the 9mm capsules are available occasionally too?

I use the propane torch method.

I loosen the two mounting bolts and put shim at the rear so the sizer tilts forward.
