Thanks for the report Joe. How is that Henry .30-30? The one I handled was very front (barrel) heavy and I'd think it wouldn't be a good walk around gun. I've never used a Partition on a hog but have used a 170gr, .30-30, Winchester, Super X, Power Point with good results. As old as he was, I'd bet ...

I don't know Blaine but I think the "factory loaded ammunition" shortage may be a normal shortage caused by customer demand BUT I'm not convinced that the shortage of primers and especially powder is caused by customer demand. It's just something we will have to ride out. I've always stock...

Modoc ED

Nate, I definitely would be completely against the government regulating ammo, I just think the stores should do it temporarily to give everyone a fair chance at the ammo. Sorry - I just don't agree with you. If a store's policy has ALWAYS been to limit sales of ammo to individuals that's one thing...

What was that all about? You surpassed my attention span sometime in the second paragraph - I know, not too hard to do but still.............

Thanks Griff. I'm going to look into that. I think one of our members here (Shasta) is involved with one of those clubs on the list.

Are there any .22LR events in Cowboy Action Shooting and other like matches?

Modoc ED

I have one made by Cobra. It's pretty good to 10-feet and a hit or a miss but mostly a hit beyond that. I carry mine in my fishing-tackle box usually loaded with a snake round in the top barrel and a regular 40gr HP .22LR in the bottom barrel - top barrels fires first. Here it is with some of my of ...

I think this Moderator idea is great. Hobie can use the help. As long as they don't make the guy that out and out lied about the dual Ruger 10-22 setup being illegal in CA (you know who you are) a moderator, I'm good with whoever (or is it whomever) is selected as a moderator.

Would $50.00 a brick (500-rounds) for Winchester Super X, X22LRPP, Lead Hollow Point, Lubaloy coated 40 grain .22LR be too much to ask?

Modoc ED

The 870 is a very reliable and tough shotgun. I have three of them and they all have hundreds of rounds through them with no problems. The one I always have in my truck probably has a couple/three thousand rounds through it. I don't have a Super Mag (the 3" Mag is enough for me) but a couple of...

Modoc ED

Condolences. Do what you can live with. You don't have an obligation to go but will it weigh on you if you don't go.

Modoc ED

I guess all these .22 rifles begs the question - Do you have enough .22LR ammo to feed all of them.

Modoc ED

A couple/three/four years ago during the last ammo panic, the same thoughts and ideas were posted that are posted in this thread.

The lesson from that period should have been - "Stock Up and Stay Stocked Up". Many of us did.

I thought I saw some at Midway yesterday as I toured the rifle ammo before switching over to shotgun ammo when I was looking for Remington 2 3/4" Copper Solid shotgun sabot slugs. Midway didn't have the 2 3/4" slugs - only 3" so, I went over to Cabela's and picked up some 0f the 2 3/4...

Modoc ED

My, my you're assuming I only have a derringer in .22LR. I have others in other calibers.

The OP asked; "Who has a small 22" and I answered his question.

Six? Perhaps you need a little more time at the range.

My .22LR Cobra Derringer. Easily fits in a double-wide tray slot in a fishing tackle box along with a 50-round box of ammo in the same slot. http://img687.imageshack.us/img687/8170/s22lrderringer.jpg Here it is with my Ruger Bearcat and my Ruger MKIs for a size comparison. http://img441.imageshack.u...

Here's a gun safe made out of a freezer. Freezers have a built in lock in the side of the door. Just strip out the shelves and compressor and you're good to go. Looks weird and knida hoaky but they are fireproof up to over 2500º. We had a discussion on this a couple of years ago. http://img152.image...

I hope that gas can in the back of your car wasn't full of gas.

I commented in another thread last week that I have various calibers of ammo for guns I don't have anymore. I was going to farm it out but have since decided to keep it as it may come in handy for trade - powder, primers, etc..

Here's some of the reloads that I use. I'm not saying you should use or try these reloads. I'm just saying that they are what I use/make.

Good grief!! I've got some ammo out in my shop that I don't have guns for anymore - .223, .45 Auto-Rim, .357 Magnum, etc.. I've even got some odd-lot .22LR.

Maybe I can make some money.

One other problem is that unless your radios are all kept in metal containers, if part of the 'event' was an EMP, they'd be useless, and any enemy with a brain would do a second EMP a week later just to pick up all the un-packed radios then being used. I think you're wrong about the container for y...

I hear ya Blaine!! I'd think they'd have a tall ladder and pull em down from the top BUT I hear ya!!!! I'd hate to be the guy that tried to pull one from the bottom and have the stack fall over on me!!

Very sad and for me, unexpected news. Prayers for Bob and his family.

There was a thread awhile ago about various members getting in their supply of firewood. Here's a group of pictures I ran across of firewood stacking in I believe Russia.

Prayers up for you Mike. Actually, you've been on my prayer list since you first started this thread. Somehow I feel a special kinship to you because of your adventures over here in Alturas and down in Likely that we've talked about.

Keep up the good fight Mike.

They may not allow camp fires, but they may give you a permit for a small, attended, "cooking" fire. Check into it. If you're going on a guided hunt, the guy you're paying (guide) should take care of all that for you.

Blaine - These gas (nitrogen) equipped airguns are very quiet - perhaps even quieter than the CB Longs you speak errrrrrrrrrrrrrrr type of.

Airguns/pellet guns are quite advanced these days. I have this .22 cal. GAMO Whisper equipped with an air spring and it is quite powerful. I haven't killed anything bigger than jack rabbits and hares (bushy tailed rabbits) with it but it puts them down "dead right there" with no problem. T...

For some reason my feeble mind didn't get that your wife was injured too. Hell of a thing. Take care Fred. Been thinking of you and yours everyday. You know me. I'd normally crack a joke but there's nothing to joke about today. Hope all turns out ok.
