    Good starting load.

    I hunted with a .50 Cal for 30 years with a 90 grain charge and all too often I got no exit wound and I was left tracking deer with little to no blood trail. Once I moved up to a .54 with a 90 grain charge all that ended. and I never looked back I diss the N-SSA because they don't use original...

    I don't see where you said that at all.

    Good starting load.

    I don't like wimpy loads either and I abhor punching paper. I don't like shooting off of a bench either. I'll shoot off a bench at paper when I sight a rifle in but once I get a load worked up for it it rarely sees paper again.

    Who dislikes/hates the Beretta 92FS/M9?

    I don't like the slide mounted safety. I don't like the decocker or DA/SA. I like the Taurus 92 FS a lot better. It still has a decocker and is DA/SA but at least the safety is frame mounted and I don't have to use the DA.

    More reliable Remington or colt cast your vote n tell why

    I would hope so. 😁 SO, how much was it cut back? How much powder will it hold?

    I don't hate Pyrodex. I used it for many years, I just prefer black. Now if I was going hunting and didn't have anything but Goex or Pyrodex I'd use Pyrodex. Seems like a cut down cylinder would have a helluva cylinder gap.

    Either one. 2F works fine.

    45 cal. conversion cylinders ?

    No. The Pietta cylinder is longer.

    I found caps!

    I don't know how accurate this is. I haven't measured anything myself.

    Good starting load.

    My .50 liked 90 grains.

    Cutting Aluminum Cans

    I don't know what zhears are but a pair of medical utility scissors don't cost much and will cut anything from paper to coins and 1/4 inch thick leather.

    Good starting load.

    That's a nice rifle except somebody screwed up and put the lock on the wrong side. :p What Malachi said except I'm pretty sure that barrel is going to have a round ball twist.

    Yeah it's the same frame.

    Long hunter knife

    Thanks. Maybe half the price of a cheap one but that's not counting the propane. The blade isn't all that thick but it's sturdy. I've made a few this way and reshaped a couple but forging/tempering isn't anything I really want to pursue. I've probably made my last knife anyway. I may rehandle...

    Might as well. It's the only way a capper will work.

    Long hunter knife

    No. I used large cutoff wheels on a Dremel to cut it out while keeping it wet to keep the heat down. I'm not going to say how many cutoff wheels it took. 😁 A set of reciprocating blades sawmills use to cut logs into boards.

    Long hunter knife

    Thanks but not much skill to it.

    Long hunter knife

    My interpretation of a long hunter knife. I made it out of an old gang saw blade and it has some pitting but I like the look of it and it's sharp enough to cut paper thin tomato slices. The blade is 11 inches long and 1 3/4 wide. The handle is elk antler and it's a handful but it feels good in...

    I gave up Remingtons a long time ago. I still have a few but haven't fired them in years.
