    I was an idiot...

    I was out with my shotgun loaded with 2 in the magazine and one in the chamber. I had an additional 3 shells in my pant's pocket. I got a bit sweaty so decided to wash my pants when I came indoors and forgot about the shells in the pocket. The pants will be out of the washer in a few minutes...

    Look what showed up this morning...

    About 75 yards with a 20 grain CCI Gamepoint out of a 17 HMR from my front door and DRT. My wife didn't even wake up. LOL.

    Make Your Money Vote

    Several years ago I was going to buy a new car; about $60,000 worth. I called up a dealership and found they had one I was interested in. I drove to the dealership and noticed their no concealed carry sign on the door. I called them them from my car from outside the dealership, told them I...

    Leupold Mark 4 Scopes at MidwayUSA - A Good Deal

    For those looking for a good scope with an illuminated reticle, I think this is a good deal. I'm not buying because I already have two of them and don't need more...

    Mailing a Handgun Barrel to California

    A guy in California wishes to buy a handgun barrel. It's for a single shot handgun (Contender), isn't threaded and is not chambered for a shotgun cartridge. As far as I can tell there is no legal prohibition for mailing it to him. I have done a fairly extensive internet search on the subject...

    The Groundhog Days of Summer

    Every summer without fail a groundhog, or two, or more will decide to live under my front porch. In the photo, you can see a flower bed that is at one end of the porch. What you won't see until the next photo is the dead groundhog (too small to see well in the photo) by the last hole it ever...

    Mountain Lion Attacks

    I read this on "Outdoor News" this morning: "Mountain lion attacks are rare in Colorado, where their population is strong – 16 people have been injured and three killed by mountain lions in the state since 1990." I wouldn't call 16 people injured and 3 killed "rare." I guess maybe it's rare...

    Load Workup for the 7.5x55 Swiss (Schmidt Rubin)

    I've had this barrel chambered in 7.5x55 Swiss I bought several years ago just stored in the safe. I finally got around to shooting for the first time a few days ago. My idea was to buy some ammo, shoot it and then reload the brass. Since 7.5x55 Swiss ammo isn't the usual stuff for sale I...

    Case Annealing

    Recently I got a case annealer from sassybrass.net. I had considered annealing before but couldn't see paying $500+ for an annealer. The one I bought was less expensive and seems to work well. This, post annealing, is quite a bit better than what I got previously with Lake City Brass...

    308 Winchester Blue Dot Loads

    You won't find these loads in any manual so use at your own risk. For the second from the top group, I purposely held 1 mil left. At 14 grains of Blue Dot there is still no sign of high pressure. I'm thinking I'll probably be able to go up 3 or 4 grains. Some day I'll get the chronograph...

    Depriming Live Primers

    In loading thousands of rounds, the only primer I've ever touch off was when pounding one in with my Lee Loader in 7X57 Mauser back in 1967. I didn't put my eye out or even lose a hand but maybe I was just lucky. Lets say in the unlikely event you deprime a live primer and it goes off (I'm not...

    Asking a favor from someone with a Ruger 10/22.

    I would like a buttstock rimfire ammo carrier for a rifle I have. One is made for the Ruger 10/22 but, not haivng a 10/22, I don't know if it would fit the stock on my rifle. If someone could measure the circumferance of a 10/22 buttstock and let me know what it is, I'd appreciate it.

    Silly Wabbit

    I found this rabbit behind my barn today. I took this photo with my cell phone from about a foot away and all the rabbit did was stay VERY still. I could have put a box over it or probably even picked it up by the ears. A few years ago, I saw a rabbit out my office window hunkered down...
