Way to go, casastahle. Thanks for sharing.

Kirk - Wonderful post. What a treat for you,...and us!

Here's a few more that come to mind. Great exercise this. Too many, many more to take up space here. I was a "city" boy in Dallas during all my school years. Knowing names of all neighbors living on the block. .50 cent per hour after school job 19.9 cent gasoline Woosie (sp) Root Beer Grap...

Now that's some mighty fine warranty, ...and an optimistic one at that. You should be able to pass that Jeep on to a couple of more generations, beyond when you'll ever need a vehicle.

GoatGuy

That's a hoot, Pitchy! You always seem to have a good time, no matter what you're doing.

GoatGuy

No my friend wouldn't let me. I had asked about Lee's pan type lube. He just looked at me, shook his head and gave a big sigh!

I got the message.

Besides, all that hand dipping 763 bullets most likely been a worse experience!

I hate lubing bullets !!! :shock: Despite having been reloading for 45 some years, I had never had done any lubing until a couple of weeks ago. Don't own any equipment to do it, and, furthermore, never in all those years cared to own any of it. The story - Had 700+ .452 caliber, 255 gr. SWC bullets...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MARINES - From a Navy airdale (a long time ago)!

GoatGuy

Slick looking vehicle. You done good. Wish I could find something similar, but I would need 4wd.
DUH, that's what I get for not looking "really, really" closely at the picture. It is a 4x4! Wanna sell it, hmmmm?

GoatGuy

Blaine - Keep on checking out that area. Really nice part of the world. Something's bound to show up that will work for you, your need for privacy and budget

GoatGuy

Yeah, it's frustrating about .22lr anywhere it seems. At least you were able to do some good for yourself. Something is always better than a "goose egg".

GoatGuy

Great! We're gonna hold you to that.

GoatGuy

You got the correct picture, Pitchy. Like I mentioned to you,...a somewhat long drive and not much to see when you get there, but well worth the effort. How often does one get to stand in the long gone footprints of a small, rugged group of men who saw history made with Dixon's shot?

GoatGuy

Now that's really nice, Pitchy. Congrats for getting it. Have an idea you're gonna love it. I have a fondness for the Browning repros. Never saw one that didn't have great fit and finish. My Browing Model 71 was really a great rifle. Probably shouldn't have sold it, but couldn't find suitable game i...

GoatGuy

Those are cool! Both would fit real nice here at my place. Like southwestern items items such as those, ...well anything western, really. Comes from my many years spent in southern NM, I suppose.

GoatGuy

Welcome back Pitchy! Those are a couple of fine looking revolvers. Really like the look of that Stampede, and the Off Duty will make a fine pocket carry piece for sure. Nice catch on those. Looks like your trip south was worth it!

GoatGuy

Hobie - you missed one of my favorites, ...the Aguila Sniper SubSonic. A really weird looking cartridge with that 60 grain bullet atop the .22 short case, but it works a treat for me on squirrels. And no problems at all using it in my 10/22.

Yeah, I did. Made me want to reply to those fools and, figuratively,

Doc AJ (and anyone else here) - Now I'm all confused! I'm sure not a novice reloader, having been doin' it for 1/2 a century.

Once again Nath you've shown me the value of getting up, putting boots on and, with rifle or shotgun in hand, getting out to enjoy the beautiful place the Lord has granted me here. It's a lesson I've had before, but there's always something else I find to do. Now that Fall's upon us, I'm determined ...

One thing though, it's for certain the club is a back East affair. Not a single cowboy hat amongst all the the crew, ...just "blankety blank" ball caps.

30 grains of 3031 for .30-30 with 150's, and 32 grains of same with 170's for my .32WS. Those two loads are perfect for my 94's, and do everything I'll want those levers to accomplish. Love IMR 3031.

Sincere condolences for the loss of your family member. Continue to celebrate the good times together, knowing your sorrow will lessen with time.

All good info here in this topic. Been coat-tailing it, since I very recently acquired a Rossi, 92 .357. When I get time to do more than fix the very few "quality boogers" (thanks to Steve's help), I'll begin working on the more esoteric issues relating to bullet weights, etc. Been reloadi...

GoatGuy

madman4570, you've got real stick-to-itiveness, as we say around these parts. That's a complement. I know you'll have a real, nicely finished project since you're staying on all those guys, making sure they get their stuff together. Headaches sure, but worth it in the long term.

GoatGuy

RR7, you always seem to "do it right"! Great looking holster and just the thing for all your 1911's. Super rig with the belt, and the basket weave matches up very well. A real "pair to draw to", I'd say. Congratulations on your new acquisition.

GoatGuy

Very Good, Doc.!!!

GoatGuy

Perry - ya' sure it's a Model 15-3? Never have seen a 6" Mod. 15. Open the crane and see if it's not marked Model 14-. If it is a 14 that's a very good price for that model in the condition you describe. And if it's a 15 it still pretty good price. I've seen all kinds of mis-marked Smith models...

Now that's a really special looking SBH!! Exceptionally nice job with the grips. Sets off the engraving fine. Really great work you did there, ...and I join you in your opinion about the scope.

GoatGuy

Reads like your Gunny friend doesn't give you much slack. I'm very sure you wouldn't treat him in the same disrespectful manner if the rolls were reversed.

Oh well, there's always next time, ...and at least you did save some bucks on your accommodations.

Reads like you're on track for having a real good one for your needs. Really like those 9422 levers. Only complaint I have is the magazine tube on mine seems not to want to stay where it belongs. A previous one I owned, and sold to a good buddy for his boy, had the same problem. It decided to abando...

Man, that's sucks. Seems likely only lightening strike or something natural could kill that many elk with no visible sign of trauma. What a hit on the elk population in that part on NM. Not good at all. No one has reported seeing either Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, or some Syrian rebels, in the...

Never could cozy up to the Marlin 39's. Mostly preferred the 9422 and my 10-22's.

Pitchy - y'all enjoy yourselves and give that van a good trial run. Expect you to have a great time. And if you get down this way give me a call and I'll tour you around my beautiful part of the great state of Arkansas .

I got some fence like that here on my place. Might have to give it a try...NOT!!!

I'm not much of a 7mm guy ...never really fooled with them ...so not any help coming from me. Like Griff said though, it should eventually come along if you keep working on it.
