You get what you pay for. When you buy at Wal-Mart, you're paying to undermine the local small business guy, to exploit the Chinese worker, to undermine the strength of the local economy, and for poor service. I try to avoid the place. You pay a little bit more at the local merchant for some things,...

The media would crucify him long before he got nominated -

Wow!

It just goes to show how unforgiving our little hobby can

Modoc Ed - you're gonna have a ball!

It may take a coupla hundred rounds for everything
in the gun to break in, and your accuracy may suffer
a little bit until it does. That gun has plenty of power for
hunting pests.

Good Luck!

During the last Democratic convention, the City of Boston installed
lots of "security" cameras, which they said they'd remove after the
festivities.

They are all, of course, still there, and the crime is as bad

I just received an order from Midway. One of the bedding kits I ordered had been opened. Dye was dried out, and one of the packages inside had broken and spilled some silicon oxide powder everywhere. It also looked like a few swabs and suchlike were missing. I called 'em up, was NOT put on hold, tal...

I got caught this year. If it snows at work during the day, I have to clear snow off the truck before I go home. So, I usually pick a car close by and clear that off as well. Not the biggest SUV, mind you, but another car. I was clearing one off this winter when the owner came out to clear it off! H...

I have two. One is an RWS 48 in 22 cal. , the other is an inexpensive Beeman (SS1000?) - came with a scope and everything. I have good luck with both. The Beeman is made in China.

There will always be mistakes. It's not really as important whether or not an error was made, it's how the error is dealt with that's important.

I'd never even heard of the 35 until I bought mine about 10 years ago. I went looking for a 336 in 30-30, and the shop was all out. The old timer a the gun counter told me he had one in 35 Remington, and that it was a better deer round than the 30-30. I think he's right! On the eastern seaboard, the...

All good points.

Of course, should she not like it, you might be able to

That's good!

Terrific post!

I have a CCW permit and pretty much carry a gun wherever I want. I'll take my chances with being stopped in the car.

Thanks, Gentlemen! It followed me home today. :lol: Sorry, no pics - I have no digital camera at the moment. :( Apparently this gun was bought by an auxiliary policeman way back in the 60s or 70s.

Hi Folks!

S&W Model 10-6. Has some holster wear, but does not appear to have

A number of groceries in the area are carding everyone who buys booze. It's not a state law in Maine - yet.

Iwish them the best of luck. I live in Maine now, but grew up only a few miles from Mozart Road. The development is just unbelievable in that area now.

One powder? I'd have to agree with Paco and my first choice would be 2400. It's not the absolute best for everything, but it is usable in almost anything. I've often thought that I could get by with 3: 231 for pistol, 2400 for almost everything else, and H4895 for hi-powered rifle. If I could only g...

Make sure you're polite and professional in your letter to him.

Send it registered - it ALWAYS gets folks' attention, and it
shows the court you were seriously trying to resolve the dispute.
And like the other fellas said - it document, documents

2400 is a VERY versatile powder and has been around
a LONG time. I think it'd work fine in all of the above-mentioned
calibers. Get a good manual (try the Lee to start), and go
have fun.

stretch

It's nice to have such tough choices!

I already have a 35, so I might go for the 444.

If you have neither - flip a coin.

Lee and Lyman might be the best two for a beginner.

All of the above-mentioned are good. Lee has more
lead bullet loads, and some good explanations.

I use mostly the bulk Federal stuff from WalMart. (It's the only thing I buy from them anymore.) All of my guns like it, and it's accurate enough in my old Ruger at 50 feet to shoot bullseye. It's not as accurate in my Heritage 22 revolver, but that could be me or the gun. I've also had good luck wi...

44 Special is an overlooked round these days. Everybody has
to have a magnum. 44 Special is a pussycat in my magnum

I wouldn't worry too much about the load for PD with a 30-30. You've got more than enough power there for anything short of a Kodiak bear. Use the cheapest load you can shoot accurately, and practice, practice, practice. Getting the FIRST round of the fight ON TARGET will mean more than what load yo...

I've had enough. We have about 4 feet in the yard, and bigger piles and drifts. I removed an ice dam yesterday off of the back of the house, and figured I'd check the gutters all around.
