The official music of legalized, get-it-now blowout sales of. . .cans?

My mental math is computing that the distance between the centers of your hanging targets and the crossmembers below them is EXACTLY the amount of trigger slap and recoil anticipation my students will apply.

What can I say? I've SEEN things. . .

HORRRRRRIBLE THINGS!!!!

And Zed will NEVER cast bullets. Ever.

Nope.

I play with 800F molten metal, you play with poisonous snakes. We've all got our kinks.

I like that. Would be pretty nifty in a .300 blackout. If the current suppressor/NFA fight continues to go well to the point that we can own that stuff in CA, you can bet your ass I'll be looking into a Blackout bolt action. As it stands, I've not yet had cause to really geek out on it's chamber di...

I think he's somewhere between this:
...and this:

Will those work in a magazine or single load? Magazine. There was a fair bit of work done to ensure it. I've got a 200 grain mold with an almost identical nose that I made test rounds with. I seated them WAY out long; the driving band that far forward wouldn't allow the bolts to lock up, but it did...

As I was saying. . .output: 31-225A sized & unsized.jpeg 31-225A Loaded.jpeg Straight out of the mold and with a gas check crimped on and base sized to .310", ready to be tumble lubed. Sample round loaded to just shy of max .30-06 COAL. Plan is to try IMR 3031 for the initial load worku...

Been wanting to do something like this for years, but it took a couple of side roads for the knowledge and opportunity to come together. And yeah. . .I'm still trying to lure Zee to the Dark Side with bullet casting. Even if this project doesn't do it, it will be fun to bring you along for the ride....

Sounds like you're doing some good work. Well done! Kind of like the young kid at the point of being unsure about whether or not Santa and the Easter Bunny exist, I'm sort of at that point on the topic of the criticality of seating depth. In our Highpower days of Sierra Matchkings and moly-coating, ...

See where I'm going with this? With the hodge podge of states, Can I only cross state lines with my "papered" cans? Mark Smith has spoken a number of times recently on a legal distinction that probably NEEDS to be hammered on in these upcoming 2A fights: 1. Malum in se : Crimes that are r...

Well, they didn’t appeal. The stay goes away. Now it’s “legal” to buy NFA items without the BS. But…. They have 60 days to appeal. Which I fully expect them to. So what happens now, it’s up in the air. Now we wait and see what happens. Luckily the 60 days will be up before the mid terms. Gives us a...

Yeah. . .lot of AI-generated stuff in the 2A blab-sphere.. I gave that one a few minutes - seemed to have a tenuous grasp on the matters at hand.

"Working man's gun". . .at least you don't have to work to find the 16 gauge ammo in this case. Can't argue a 311 . . . or much else in the Stevens line. Well done! Barq's root beer cans refilled with water were one of my favorite .22 targets as a kid. More in my head than anything else, b...

Win 43 14.jpeg Yep Winchester 43. . . Win 69A 3.jpeg Winchester 69A Methinks they might be related. ;) I may need to dig out my 43 and go play again. Got as far as figuring out the load, and got distracted by other things. Kind of a pain in the ass, truthfully. I thought I'd bought a Hornet, but so...

My 43 experience was that adjusting down led to failure of the sear to hold when running the bolt closed with any kind of enthusiasm. I opted for functional over attempting sexy. While there's still something of an infrastructure supporting the more "flagship" model Winchesters like the 70...

This is another place where I'd be telling Zee to "Melllllt the Ingotssssss". The .30-40 is one of those near-perfect cast bullet cartridges - at least in the land of gas checks. It will accommodate good throw weight of 200-220 grains to make up for the comparative loss of velocity, can th...

So, the latest moves in the chess game: The plaintiffs in Duncan v. Bonta (California's mag ban case) just filed a brief with SCOTUS calling for action. As a result of the 3rd Circuit striking down the New Jersey AW and mag ban in Cheeseman v. Platkin , we now have a circuit split between the full p...

I’ve lived over half a century. I work for Big Brother. I’ve never even registered to vote or voted in my life. Yall can throw all the darts you want. I don’t give a poop. Ha!! The irony of it is, you're in TX and don't vote, and I'm in CA and do. . .and NEITHER of us manages to have any bearing on...

Not a Krag expert or even close to one by any means, but your big question is "Is it an original carbine, or a cut down?" Doing all of three minutes of surf-research, it looks like the carbines used a single point saddle ring on a bar at the back of the action on the left side, sooooo. . ....

Should the Great Certainties of Life be amended to "Death, Taxes, and State/Citizen Sodomy"?

"Drill, baby, drill!" : It's not what you think it means. . .

Finger grooves are great if you're the guy that designed them or his clone. . . Actually, I kinda think they suck even if they do fit you. If you have to grab in a hurry, you go with the grip as you grabbed it. Finger grooves pretty much fuse you to that for the duration of the bang-bang. Grooveless...

Bingo But seriously, it is their post midterm agenda. They really really mean it this time, but you have to vote for them to see it happen. And it’s better than what would have happened if the other team had the ball. Those with eyes open a little wider see this choice as, "With lube, or witho...

Look like high yum potential. Probably proof that my Man Card should be revoked. . . That whole "go outside to cook in the summer" thing just seems alien to me. It's HOT out there! Depending on exactly where you live, it may be HOT, humid, and buggy out there! We have indoor natural gas an...

Dat woiks!
