What is the advantage of a wad for cap and ball? In my club quite a few members shoot Remington 1858s out to 25m and 50m with good groups. The usual combo is 18grains of black powder, then a little semolina to about 3mm from the top of the chamber. Then a good dose vasoline on top of that. Maybe the...

When was the last time a ship carrying powder exploded spontaneously or by accident and apart from an act of war? I am not trying to suggest that this sort of thing never happens but I am genuinely ignorant of how often it does actually happen. Perhaps it is a real concern.

what if the lever flushed!

The blood aspect of the sport is a function of the brutality of the game. While I am tempted to post examples they are rather look quite gruesome. I understand the brutality of American football in the 1900s just about had the game banned with 148 deaths in one year. Doug Flutie kicked the last drop...

Got up at 4.50am to watch a thriller of a game. We have one Australian at work. Best to say nothing. If you watched the game it was pretty intense through out. Overall we were pleased with the result. Dan Carter kicked an amazing drop goal. Can you do this in American football? do you have penalty k...

Watched the video. No doubt American Footballer forwards (?) pack more hitting power than your average rugby forward. But it depends who is hitting you. I was amused to see in the video one rugby player tackling another whereas the American Football player had to tackle a dummy. How many American Fo...

What ever time that is where you live??????????

Go the All Black's.

20-18 to the All Blacks I know most folks have a passion for American football. We get some games live here on Mondays. I enjoy the game. Rugby however flows at a faster pace. Not the stop start as in American football. I think you folks would enjoy the game. There is nothing wrong with enjoying bot...

You need a DC to DC converter Rated at least 1 AMP If you hooked it up to a car battery it would draw what it draws and the dc to dc converter would also use up some current, probably as heat. However the battery charger will have a very rough voltage. It could benefit from putting a high value capa...

Hey guys. Apparently there is a huge demand for this product in the US. Ayla invented some sort of wood cutter. The New Zealand foundry hiked their production costs by 65%.

Here cyclists are treated the same. My brother got a ticket for running a red light on his cycle! Yes you do need to stick to speed limits too. You can get a ticket for cycling faster than 50km/hr in a 50km/hr zone. Also you can get fined for not having a helmet. I heard of an English aristocrat who...

A few years ago there was a documentary about a house in Southhampton that came up for sale. It had been in the same family since WW2.

I think diesel drivers here are taxed per km. Just looked it up Road Users charges- $50 per 1000km or$US45 for 620 miles. That is why a don't drive a diesel. Over 20,000km(a typical year) that is an extra $900 in taxes. Sure diesel is cheaper. Would probably cost more to administer than collect. But...

So from $110 a barrel in July to $50 a barrel now why am I not seeing a 50% drop at the pump?

They always give lots of reasons for putting pump prices up but are always reluctant to drop prices.

A free market????

Nothing like radiation to keep the milk fresh.

It is amazes me that the owner of a corner dairy, open from 7.00 am to 11pm makes any money at all.

There is a monopoly called Fonterra which started as a farmers co-op which uses non free market practices. They allow quite a range of price. In the same supermarket can range from $1.78 to $2.60 per litre. As a very large milk producer we pay the highest prices. It would be like Saudi Arabia chargi...

It must be quite confusing. Apparently 35% of countries in the world drive on the left. I often wondered it was not the case in Canada? After all the drive on the left in Jamaica and three Latin American countries. Did the US ever have traffic on the left in Colonial days?

So true Mike. Today there is no such thing as a truly obsolete caliber. If the main function of the rifle is for hunting the re-boring for 30-30 would make sense. I think the barrel change is part of the family history of the rifle now. Found this ad for your info. http://www.trademe.co.nz/sports/hu...
