Wanted to shoot up some 32-20 I had made a while back but it proved to be a little too long for the old Winchester 1873. I must have made this back when all I had was the 1892. An 1873 is more sensitive to COAL than the 1892.
Made in 1897 I got this filthy, minus a mag tube, some screws and...
Good question and you can see in their eyes they know they are trespassing. The excuse/whine seems to be the default setting for these conversations. Most of the time I get one and then it's over, but I have gotten more that a few. Two guys I caught started out with the HNF story then moved to...
Told them they were on private land and that they had spoiled both of our respective hunts for the day. One insisted they were on HNF ground, but I said you can keep arguing and I can call the law or go back to where you crossed the fence. They left.
I always deal with this the same way, leave...
I'm going to guess 20 grains or so of 3F, a 36 caliber ball runs about 80 grains. This is in the area of Colt 1851 navy. The 31 caliber Allen I have takes 15 grains of 3F.

Nobody except me hunting since opening day, no shots heard and no cars at entrance points to the HNF.
Turkey hunting for me has changed over the years as birds just don't gobble like they used to so it's more of a find a spot, set out decoys, call a little and wait. Two years ago I called in...
Interesting. My feeling has been for a long time that many are searching for some ultimate right, some untarnishable morality, and latching on to whatever happens to be the cause dejure. Time and experience eventually teach most that this does not exist and the search is futile, a few take this...
The scoops were an interesting part of the movie for riot control, but the more terrifying riot control tactic that was used in the novel by Harry Harrison was "flying wire".
Razor wire concertinas made of an incredibly strong tempered and compacted spring steel. When dropped in bale form from...
Done buying pepperboxes as I'll have enough of the squares covered. I need to shoot these more as I was really impressed with the performances of the CA shooters I saw in a video.
