Remember your woodscraft .... Bear scat has little bells in it ans smells like pepper spray. Ron

As I understand it, Texas has a lot of latitude in the use of force to defend one's life or property. Somewhere in chapter 9.... "An individual is permitted to use force to protect his land or movable property if the individual believes that another person is trespassing or unlawfully...

I get mad when I don't have the proper tool or gauge. I'll even make those sometimes. I don't rebarrel and rechamber as I don't have a large proper lathe. Ron

http://www.windstream.net/news/read.php?rip_id=%3CD9VTKKA01%40news.ap.org%3E&ps=931 Still trying to figure out this one but..... "The gun's angle also is at question, according to David Balash, a former Michigan State Police firearms examiner. "What's going to be very important here is...

Remember, the world is building more advanced idiots. Ron

I have seen fox and coyote in most large cities of Texas. In suburban areas, I consider the feral dog, whether it has a collar on or not, a much greater problem to livestock than the coyote. I think the feral cat damages as much wildlife as any true predatory natural species. The proper...

10 ga stuff is rare. In addition to what rcmodel said ..... PROPER BLANK POWDER is hard to find and can cause things to become dismantled. Good luck in finding something. Ron

I've just read through this thread and it is interesting. Perhaps a bit of knowledge gained from a close friend who operated in US special forces for 30 years will add a bit of levity to the thoughts of a civilian force overwhelming a professional force. Whenever two armed forces clash...

EB1 - thanks for posting the PDF on 'how'. I load TrailBoss for my brother's .308 Winchester with an integral suppressor. I've found little use for it other that really reduced loading. Ron

TrailBoss is about the 'fluffiest' powder I have ever seen. I a double load would surely be seen. AND, even if it were missed , I doubt it would over-pressure. I just filled a .357 case FULL of TrailBoss and it was 7.5 gn. Their load data claims one can load to 100% as Hammerdown stated and...

35 for 31 .... Good shooting! Ron

Shoot the rifle you are most familiar with and learn to estimate ranges. If you have a range finder, verify your guesses with it. You should soon be able to use the range finder as a 'backup'. Ron

This event and administration reminds me of a police force owned by the criminals. Unfortunately, the corruption goes beyond us mere mortals to influence the outcome. Ron

The extractor recently broke in my 1917 Colt 1911. I found one can replace the extractor by locking the slide back, removing the firing pin holding plate and then replacing the extractor. BE CAREFUL! - the firing pin can launch to places unknown when the firing pin plate/extractor holder...

I'm one of those who has a shelf full of powders and load a BUNCH of different calibers in various pistol and rifles. One powder, maybe, but not for shooting. You have many different expansion rations, from 'not much' to the '06. I'm guessing you are shooting an AR in .223. It has a completely...

"In the old days", when there was a lot of hand fitting, finishing and such, brass was more economical because of the labor involved in hand finishing steel. Now, CNC machines leave truly finished parts that mate up. Very little, in comparison, hand finishing is done and material cost is the...

For me the largest advantage was/is I can 'download' my high power rifles and shoot cast bullets at lower cost, velocity, recoil and report. I regularly hunt squirrel and rabbit with both a .308 and a .358 Winchester. I can also carry a few heavy hitters in my pocket and it a feral pig or...

Thanks for posting. It filled in a large gap in my machine gun history. That history has LOTS of large gaps. Ron

I've got the Commander model and have run several hundred if not a thousand rounds with no problems. It is as accurate as I am or better. Ron

My 10/22 likes Federal Target. I still have 4 or 5 bricks left from the 20 bricks I bought once I figured out what it liked best. Still shoot a lot of 'this box is cheapest' when shooting bushy tailed tree rats (squirrel) and other small varmints. Ron
