45-70 AND 444 both paper patched

If you can weld you ought to look into tilt up concrete construction. Done quite a few over the years , FIREPROOF ,RUGGED AS ALL GET OUT,CHEAP,AND CAN DO IT ALL YOURSELF. Make forms on concrete floor , very important to add rebar and angle iron clips in the right area for future assembly, can either...

I believe that your answer lies in your description of his residence "desert". If you look in your reloading manual (hodgdon in this case ) and in the front it explains their "EXTREME" line of powders'. Page 45 in #13 SPEER talks about possibility of a load developed at 40 degree...

gimdandy

done
comfort and best wishes to all

gimdandy

ME TOO !!!! then I read Doc's last paragraph and realized most of us are getting real close to being old fanny burbs , and we should realize that we NEED a younger group coming up the generation ladder that are gun cranks as are we. If it takes new caliber offerings to accomplish this we better get ...

I look forward to the results for lots of reasons , however since I already bought a 900 Lecia a couple years old it just tells yardage only and I'm stuck having to know my cartridge and gun well enough to be able to lob one in w/ the correct hold..........that'll work for me. I do see however where...

Looked again at the photo , I spose you could make a case just about any way you wanted the plumb bob to swing , but w/ those short taps ( I use bulldog taps ) and batwing chaps, look worn w/ possible hole in them , maybe just a concho missing ill fitting saddle blanket , ill fitting holster w/ a 7 ...

Funny thing about these animals .........................you put a couple hundred miles on them and you find out it don't mean a tinkers darn what they look like . What matters is how they take care of the load you assign them w/. Whether it be a pack load, you , the wife or grand kid . I've had mul...

For a belt gun, As for backup or pocket revolvers, I will have to disagree with the gentleman who doesn't care for the S&W M-640. The gentleman complained about the weight of the M-640. True it weighs 25 ounces. But who in their right mind would want to shoot a full-power .357 Magnum cartridge ...

gimdandy

although heavy , my 640 smith in .357 was bought as an ideal ccw , it's not ideal , but it is ok. my opinion of " WHAT DO YOU THINK IS THE BEST FIGHTING REVOLVER ? " is not a 640 because of weight or a 5 shooter in .357 . .45 ACP 5 shooter would be ok but then size is on the large side .I ...

gimdandy

Have you been able to work up a load for either 338ME yet so they will shoot as good as you 308 ME's?

A Shiloh Sharps in 45/70...German Silver trim. Since the early Shiloh's and C. Sharps came out in the late 70's early 80's, have never stopped wanting one.[/quote]

The collars that the F$G in Idaho use are and so far since the reintroduction of the non native canadian wolves ,are "johnson" tracking collars modified with extra long life batteries an instead of a tree'in switch it uses an "inactivity switch". Said switch activates after10-12 ...

Gongrats Mike,
Great caliber, really want to see "the " pics . Thanks for including us in the process.
You said drinks all around, I ordered my diet coke and found out you don't have an account there

gimdandy

BigSky, I also remember reading about Elmer in "Hell I Was There"being thrown and hung and pullin his 45colt and killing the bronc that had him. dumped and hung up I can get to it with either hand. Its happened to me. danny Image what a feeling that is . Was thrown and hung up only once my...

gimdandy

I carry all the time whether work or play and always a pistol as I need both hands free, every thing up here will either stomp bite or scratch you. If I need distance shootin I grab a 30-30. danny Danny, I really admire a man that can and will ride bronc's :lol: When mounted which system of rifle s...

gimdandy

raised lots of bum calves and you sure get attached to the danged things, but you keep doing it because you you enjoy the results, and because it's fun to walk out and they all but run over you when you get in their pen. Got a young mule that I've had to give lots of meds to and he 's real content t...

gimdandy

It's not a bit outta my reach ...It's WAY OUT :D . Nevertheless it is beautiful. I have a hard time with any gun putting a scratch on them and yet what good are they unless they are used. Just thought you might enjoy looking at a unique and fine made arm. Mike that would be my caliber of choice unle...

gimdandy

Mike .............ALL I don't know how to post a link and possibly some one else will do it , but if you go to the Cabelas' site then library and item #1409973 you will not have wasted your time . I have viewed and handled this arm in person and it is a work of art. Another thing that in my mind is ...

gimdandy

THAT IS A GREAT ACCOMPLISHMENT. Congratulations to all 4 of you

Take Walla-Walla sweet onions sliced 1/4 " and cover the bottom of dutch oven( 12 or 14" ), put in miss piggie (any cut) and many small russets or small reds. Dump in two cans(1 can and 1/2 can water if 10 " oven )creme of mushroom soup and 1 can water cook w/top and bottom coals (fir...

gimdandy

Fascinating to say the least. I don't own any of these calibers but as an avid reloader of 46 years this is very valuable info to me . Have several 45-70's and 38-55 / 375's and am always searching for the elusive .5?? ,repeatable 5 shot groups. That tells me of a great load for that particular barr...

gimdandy

thanks for your post on monday. Read it monday and haven't yet been able to post anything civil. Danny's right !!! and some of the people we have runnin Idaho F&G are idiots, and I'm right!!!! thats all I'll say on the matter just now.

gimdandy

Been kinda warming up to this since it was announced. I like most of the changes over my present 1895GS .Would personally like a lot higher comb , no rail and std Marlin sights these are all totally fixable and would be the better way to go than changing Either GS or my cowboy and seems that your af...

gimdandy

Ya know ......86 er ...............I tend to think in a little different fashion, and this certainly qualifies as a situation that you apparently had no control over and all concerned walked away w/ only a few wasp stings . My guess is that you've stubbed your toe in the middle of the night getting ...

gimdandy

Have you considered ttaking your flintlock ?

gimdandy

Way to go Lindsay

you just can't put value on experiences as grand as these......we're all very proud of you.

gimdandy

welcome back you'll be back to the old routine in no time

gimdandy

very funny Rusty and very well put

gimdandy

don't know why but we call them picket pens.
Danny we used to green chop and put a white powder w/ it (NO NOT THAT STUFF) for haylage both in the bags as you have shown and also in a silage pit ,and as you said they LOVE IT. Fermented dinner.................just get out of the way

gimdandy

txpete, Seems like I only have three loads that I use anymore in all my 45's is 296, 2400, and unique .Although I really like the first two it also seems that I have migrated to mostly unique w/ 250 swc cast pb bullets in 10 or 11 gr. amounts. The 10 gr load velocity w/ 250 cast is right at 1000 fps...

gimdandy

Done and thankyou for asking.

gimdandy

I firmly believe ,more than you paid for it , and that makes me happy for you

gimdandy

Looks to me like you have very sage advise. I don't disagree with any part of it. Seems I'm always looking for about the same velocities and exacting accuracy . It also occurs to me (painfully at times ) of the millions ( I believe that is an accurate figure ) of animals that were kilt w/ 1100-1600 ...

gimdandy

And may I offer another very heart felt CONGRATULATIONS

gimdandy

Rangerider Want to make sure that you understand that your efforts are really appreciated in all the pic's that you post. Very enjoyable. Certainly the guns , but I also look closely at how they dressed . In the first photo it seems possible that he may have been a person of some wealth , what w/ a ...

gimdandy

like many of you I have both . The answer for me is either if fine ,but the trapper although very good choice to use is not as easily concealed (grandkids ) and thus isn't as easily retrieved Adirondakjack , REALLY LIKE YOUR LITTLE GUN. It's been along time since I read up on your .45 special ' Woul...

All great accomplishments...............................CONGRATS

gimdandy

read a warning about BLUE DOT just last week . Do your own research on the factory web.
I use H110 w/ 45 LC lots and wlp primers
pay heed about not lowering your H110/296 less than 10% below min. charge

gimdandy

what mod 71 said if you're lookin is very true. at the wrong angle between the eyes is below the brain

gimdandy

Thornblom said it all and very well .

gimdandy

Cosmoline, There was a fellow on the old sight that referred to himself as combineman that moved to Idaho Falls Idaho and had close neighbors and figured out a load for his -06 with ball and a very light charge of something. and after repeatedly hearing bout really light charges and bad or poor igni...

gimdandy

sorry T M I

gimdandy

I think maybe the EXPERT has answered your question. With deckers , sawbucks and riding saddles I've got 17 saddles and I'm listening to the expert. NEVER oil or saddle soap a cinch..............it'll never quit strechin

gimdandy

By the way would like a report back a few times on your 480. I've always thought that would be cats whiskers of a caliber in a short rifle

gimdandy

Don't know the answer to yer question but consider shootin it first and see how it acts . might be that it actually suits you. If it don't then your plan was to replace it anyway

gimdandy

WELCOME
Lots of nice folk here and Terry too

Got lots of Elk country in my back yard but one of these years I'll be takin a trip for a outta state elk just cuz. Right just yet not but when I get to that point in my life I'LL BE GLAD TO LOOK YOU UP
thanks for the invite and again welcome

gimdandy

The authenticity of it is that when you run up a fresh engine you have a water temp ga.(usually remote ) but not necessarily and later remote coolant because the first two runup's don't last long enough for excess temp. Also and more important the first two times is a manual oil pressure and volumn ...
