    Over heard at a local gun range.

    But powder doesn't last forever. I have way more powder than I am likely to shoot. I am sure a good amount will go bad before I need to replace it because i dhot it all. Still, I am comforted knowing I will not run out of shooting goodies.

    What is the nicest gun you were ever given as a gift?

    It's a tossup between the '60s vintage Belgian Auto 5 from a dear friend (passed away 2005) or the Browning Double Auto 12 ga. (circa 1970) from my father (passed away 2006). I give the edge to my father's BDA because I liked it so much, I bought a another one to shoot a LOT more.

    Model 1917 Eddystone with iron sights out to 600 yards?

    Dang right! Good shooting with windy conditions. Couldn't be done without an excellent shooting rifle, though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8H3SYoBp9SM I am not an aficionado of milsurps, but I think I now understand why so many of these guns were sporterized into beautiful, fine shooting...

    Yup. I figger: "Let the working stiffs have the range over the weekend. I can take up range space during the week."

    Looking for books

    Bob "Boze" Bell used to be a DJ on a local radio station here in Phoenix, AZ (KSLX 100.7 FM, IIRC) back in the mid to late '80s. Legend has it he was quite the "Bozo" in his younger days, therefor the nickname . It stuck. The man can write an entertaining story!

    Don't bring a hammer to a gun fight....

    2020 Colt Python update at 1000 rounds

    Exaggerate much? Some people love their hobby for more than just for burning gunpowder. Me? I love to handload just so I can shoot more than I could if I bought factory ammo. I have one of the new Pythons and a new Anaconda, too. For me, they are just fine as-is. A connoisseur of fine...

    Colt King Cobra in .22LR

    Ahh, but for those days when such money was only a few more hours per day in my paycheck.... Old age definitely has its drawbacks.... Maybe I should consider selling some of the dust collectors in the back of my safe? Now there's a thought....!

    Colt King Cobra in .22LR

    Yes, but at $999.00..... That's a lot of cash for a .22LR revolver! Heck, the Cobra .38 Special is only $699! BTW, a Sportsman's Warehouse in PA showed one in stock last night. ;)

    Colt King Cobra in .22LR

    Hickok 45 does a review of the new King Cobra 10 round .22LR. Hint: He likes it. :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqTJlHp_S_o Might need to keep me an eye out for one of these.... I need something to keep my Anaconda, Python and .357 Mag King Cobra company in the safe. Yes? What ever you...

    Guns you thought you’d like but didn’t…

    I'll guess you've never had a Kimber 84M! I have had several A-Bolts over the years (though not in .270) and never had a bad shooter. .300WSM, .308, '06, .243 Win., .243 WSSM, 6.5 WSSM (CUSTOM) I wonder if yours might have had a bedding issue?

    Guns you thought you’d like but didn’t…

    I thought I would like the Diamondback Sidekick revolver, so I bought one. Nope. Anybody else want to try one?

    Bragging Friend talks too much

    I'll say! Heck, last I looked I had 6 8lb. jugs and 30 or so 1 pound bottles. And I haven't bought much of anything since before the latest panic. (I really need to do an inventory so as to limit my variety a bit.)
