Currently, it appears we are going over our original target headcount by one. How many more might Joe want to accept? I have a pardner that may want to make the trip, as well. Scott ps Anyone need an airport pickup in San Antone??? Scott, I spoke to 86er and he said he could squeeze in one more if ...

The 45-70 FCD that I ordered arrived today. Guess what, it works just like ya'll said it did

. I set it up and ran 20 rounds through it and it seemed to work great.

RKrodle

Rimfire McNutjob, I interested to here the answers too. I just ordered a FCD for 45-70 to use with 405 grain Remingtons. I have used them in pistol reloading but don't know if they are the same for rifle.

I just spoke to Smitty - and we are a go for this! I'm pumped - thanks for the web site addy - great pics! Please add Jac and Smitty to the list of hunters. I will send the deposit(s) in today to the addy listed upthread. Does this get going the morning of Friday the 8th? I'm flying Smitty in - was...

O.S.O.K., you would need to get your deposits in by the end of May, $100 dollars per hunter for meat hunt $250 for trophy hunt. You c...

I'v hunted hogs on the Mesquite Ranch south of San Antonio a couple times - David Smith if you know him. I think he DBA as Texas Wild. I've got a buddy that has me to Mississippi every year to hunt on his deer farm. I'd like to offer this to him as a thank you. Please give specifics - $350 - includ...

Do deposits still need to go to the Rockwall address???

RSY, 86er called me and can't get online. He said the Rockwall address is good. $100.00 deposit for meat hunt, $250.00 for trophy hunt. Make check payable to "T. Riekers" . Glad your able to make it for the hunt.

RKrodle

RSY,

I look forward to meeting you and all the rest of ya'll at the hunt.

RKrodle

Hey thats great, keep up the good work!

RKrodle

Well done 86er, thats a nice animal taken with a beautiful rifle. Those kodiak bullets are something to behold. I can't hardly wait for August to get here for the summer safari.

RKrodle

That is awesome! A big attaboy to all those involved. This is a great group of people we have here. Thank you 86er, rjohns, and Richard for setting such a good example for hunters world wide. Ya'll have given these girls a day they will never forget. And two families who will remember you forever.

I have a little 22 cricket that my granddaughter loves to shoot, Thanks to a really kind fellow that goes by the screen name of piller. He loaned it to me at our Texas shoot for her to try.

RKrodle

Congratulation on the BLR, I have the pistol grip version in 358 win and really like. I think the 308 gives you much more versatility in loads and is a great round.

RKrodle

I looking for some information. I went by Cabela's today to pick up some different types of 358 bullets for my 358win. Well, in my hast to get everything I needed I grabbed a box of 225 gr Accubonds instead of Partitions. My 358win is of course a BLR. So can someone tell me how these two bullets com...

I have one made in 1951 but it's not as pretty as yours

Montana bullets works is some very fine folks to deal with. I've shot alot of their cast bullets. One time I called and ordered bullets and they misspelled my name on the boxes, not on the address or anything, they called me before the ammo arrived and apologized. I didn't give a hoot how they spell...

WOW great going and alot of good eating. Makes me hungry

Grizzly Adams,

Yes, that is for out of state hunters.

jd45,

I just loaded up some Cast Performance 300 gr LFNGC's the other weekend and they cycle good in my EMF 92.

RKrodle

Bis, the town I'm closest to is Caddo Mills, they ain't got no blinking light :D . Caddo Mills is so small, if you even think about blinking you'll miss it :lol: . bj94, You and your daughter are welcome to come. I'll try to make some more improvements over the summer. I don't have a shooting bench ...

RKrodle

Jarhead,

I have an EMF in 45 colt with a 24 inch octagon barrel. I like it alot, it's accurate and fun to shoot. I was shooting 300 grain Cast Performance bullets over 21 grains of 4227 this last weekend and it was just plain fun. I wish I had another one.

Hey Bis your pretty close to neil mitchell, who came up for the shoot. He lives near Lufkin.

Tycer,

When are you and your wife going to make it to Texas? We can hang out in San Antonio and then come up here for some shooting.

RKrodle

Griff, Sorry you couldn't make it, I was hoping you could. We had a lot of fun. There was a little two-stepping going on as the buff got close. Bis, I hope to do this again in the fall, maybe around the end of October or first part of November. I'll make a post to let everyone know and your are more...

RKrodle

Looks like you've found you a good load, and thats good shooting also. I have only fired one 405 and that belongs to crs. I can see why TR liked it so much.

RKrodle

The one where 86er is shooting my Puma shows how fast he really is. He fired 7 total times out of a .480 Ruger carbine. The action was slicked up a little bit with that new Smith & Wesson Dry Lube, but his skill really made the difference. I labeled that one "Fast 86er", He was really...

Sixgun, it looks like you had alot of fun and good shooting. I like your idea for the shoot and see targets, going to have to try that.

I started a separate post with links to the mpegs we took.

neil,

Glad you had a good time and it was a pleasure to meet you. Hope we can hook up again soon.

Nice set of photo's. What were the percentages of good hits on target. And, comparatively how did the first side shot look compared to the dynamic shots. The percent of good hits on target varied with the shooter some, but on average was probably about 50 percent. Most all shots where on target, bu...

Rick,
The 45 Colt "Cowboy Loads" are usually reduced loads for cowboy action shooting. They will shoot in anything chambered for 45 Colt. Most are pretty anemic. They are fun to shoot with low recoil and reduced noise.

RKrodle

Good job 86er. Just think, if we all got one person into the shooting sports and/or hunting we would double our numbers. That would be great in several ways.

RKrodle

Welcome to the campfire Yellowhorse, this is a good place to get all the info you need and then some. Lots a good people here that are willing to share their knowledge.

Good rebuttal, much better then I could ever do. I'm glad we have people like you Tycer.

I have never heard of a 1895CB coming from Marlin with a 20 inch barrel. Now, that does mean much as I'm no Marlin expert by any means. I have seen 1895CB's, pics, that have been cut down and they look really nice. I have considered doing it to mine.

RKrodle

If I'm using a blade front sight I tend to sight it in to shoot to the top of the front sight. If I'm using a bead front sight I sight in to hit in the middle of the bead. This is what seems natural to me when I put one or the other on target. I have always thought of the six o'clock hold the same a...

I can testify to 86er's 86. It is one sweet rifle.

I know what you mean Griff. For one reason or the other I have been off work for 4 weeks out of this 1st quarter

Hey Griff, are you going to make it back to Texas next weekend to do some shooting?

Good for you! I wish I could get my wife to go shooting with me. I did have my 3.5 year old Granddaughter out last weekend and she shot my CZ 452 22LR.
