I need to get around to figuring out a way to offload some of the 22 LR I bought after the last panic. I bought 6,000 rounds about 4 years ago and have shot 100 round since.
I'm 42. When I was 35 I went to the Costco hearing aid booth and got a test. I'm down 15 dB in the left ear and 20 dB in the right. It is the middle ranges and enough that making out conversations in a restaurant is difficult.
Causes - stupidity of youth.
I shot without hearing...
I agree with the others. The first thing you need to do is talk to the renters. The next time they are shooting while you are mowing politely ask them to stop. Tell them you feel unsafe being downrange of their shooting range. Tell them that you are sure they are excellent shots and that...
Japan has a high suicide rate because it isn't considered taboo like in the USA and Japanese insurance policies pay out for suicide. For someone that has run up a large debt it is considered honorable for the debtor to kill themselves so that their family can use the insurance payout to settle...
For a 1 year hike the Appalachian Trail (or any other long distance trail) the only tool I would take is my Leatherman Skeletool CX
The only survival situation I plan for is a Cascadia Earthquake. The plan there is to travel the 22 miles from work to home (including crossing the Williamette...
On private land I agree. Public land is a different story. We the people own public land. In Oregon there are posted rules for shooting on State and Federally owned land. Stay within the rules and nobody is going to bother you.
The public used to be able to use privately held timber land...
No gun related bills have come up for a vote yet. Most have been read and then assigned to the Judiciary Committee. None have had a public hearing or been placed on the committee's agenda. (Agenda is published out to 15-March)
There are 15 gun related bills in the House and 14 in the...
I shoot rifles left handed so I like lever actions better than bolt. A lever does anything I need a rifle to do so I voted it makes for a reasonable substitute.
If he is worried about future legislature, most high-capacity magazine bills I've read specifically exclude centerfire lever-action...
I can't think of a House vote on a gun control measure since the 1990's. The GOP controlled the House from 1995 - 2006, The DEMs from 2007-2010, and then the GOP again from 2011 until this year. I can't think of a single House vote for gun control when the GOP controlled the House. I also...
Seems like the industry is getting innovative with lead-free substitutes for muzzle loaders. They even have tungsten-iron round balls for the patch and ball traditional guys.

"Bullet Fragments in Venison.—Wound radiographs of all 30 eviscerated deer showed metal fragments (median = 136 fragments, range = 15–409) and offered a measure of fragment dispersion, albeit two dimensional. Extreme distance between fragment clusters in standard radiographs averaged 24 cm...
The mortality rate from lead poisoning is relatively low in Condors because every one of them has a radio collar. When they start acting strange a team is sent out to capture the bird, it is treated for lead poisoning, and then released back into the wild.
I don't know that bullet was used in that particular deer in the x-ray. If you watch the video embedded on page 1 of this thread you will see a Nosler Partition bullet lose 40% of it's weight after being shot into water jugs. That is a bullet specifically designed for hunting big game...
The scavengers are not eating whole bullets. They are eating small bullet fragments either in game that was shot but not recovered or gut piles left in the field. See below for any x-ray of a deer that has been shot with a lead bullet.
It isn't just scavengers eating lead, it is also the...
Records are required for universal background checks to work. Our current system makes it very difficult to prosecute people that sell to prohibited persons. 4473 forms can track the chain of custody for guns just as titles and registrations do for cars.
Interesting that you bring up the...
Per the Heller decision the Supreme Court ruled that owning a handgun is a personal right separate from participation in a militia. They also said that right is subject to reasonable restrictions. We do not know what the limits of those restrictions are but the Courts have get to rule against...
