Here is a video of this morning’s range session:

I think we have one left on the floor. See Gun Broker - Cypress Creek Indoor Range.

A customer was really interested in a Remington 7615 my employer purchased from a police department. After I showed how compatible it was with AR mags, he got out his wallet.

Oh, my bad... slow down, Danny Boy. Yes, my Spared Territory Series (the Slingshot 8 books) are set in a time period seventy years after the world is depopulated (except for my several thousand subjects) by biowar. More succinctly, 70 to 85 years from NOW.

open sights, I shoot several open and aperture sight local rimfire matches on a monthly basis. I made this YouTube video a while back showing my CZ rimfire open sight benchrest technique: Here is the USBR target we were using at that time, I shot this one in 2017: Later that year, I...

Now there's a tale in itself! How, did I get a five inch three screw super blackhawk? I was less than enamored with a certain .22 rifle 15 years ago. I took it to a local gun show and traded it straight up for a boogered up .44 Magnum. Someone had chopped the long barrel to five inches and...

Thanks, murf!

Ah, you didn't read the caption (cut and pasted below) of my video on YouTube: CCI Standard Velocity is the workhorse loading for casual rimfire target shooting. Unfortunately, the 50 round paper boxes are poorly designed and lack structural integrity. Danny Creasy - dannycreasy.net - suggests...

I've always had a yearning for a Remington Model 141 GAMEMASTER chambered for the .35 Remington cartridge. An opportunity to trade for one fell in my lap a few weeks ago, a deal was struck and made. The rifle is in very good condition. I'm very pleased with the swap, however one thing about the...

Yes, after retiring in 2014 from 38 years in the financial industry, I followed my dream of writing. I have self published in two genres: historical fiction and fiction. The three works of fiction are Slingshot 8, Slingshot 8:The Old World, and awaiting cover art, the soon to be released...

Excellent point!! I purchased this 760 after it languished in a local pawn shop for a couple of years. They finally got right on the price. Someone along the way had stuck a plastic-bottomed 7400 magazine in it. The mag wouldn't even lock up, and when forced in, it would bind the bolt. I sold...

One of my primary protagonists in my next book is Spared Territory North President Catherine Ragland Smith. When forced into the fray, she grabs what is handy and helps defend her people with the hunting rifle of her youth. In honor of my heroine, I carried along a rifle much like hers to the...

The best shooting of the old mix of rimfire ammo are the Armscor Precision 40 grain plated high velocity rounds. Looking for something to do yesterday, I mounted the inexpensive BSA Platinum 36X44 monster scope (Warne tip-off rings) on the first CZ I ever owned, a CZ 452 Special/Trainer...

Thanks for the reality check, slamfire.

In my post-apocalyptic series of novels (Slingshot 8, Slingshot 8: The Old World, and the soon to be released, Slingshot 8: Colony) the world as we know it died seven decades earlier. My survivors manufacture some ammunition, but the cost in barter is dear. When scavenged from closets, lockers...

Thanks, I know they are getting harder to find new. Thanks, it’s a keeper.

Thanks, JT. As to seasoning barrels, it depends on the rifle and the ammo. For example, the Remington 541 takes about half a box to really settle in with an ammunition and more like a box when starting with a clean bore. Rifle smith Paul Voelker advised me to find an ammo it likes and "shoot it...

Yes, the Aguila Standard Velocity would not reliably cycle the bolt on my Nylon 66 one cold winter morning. Before writing it off for semi-auto usage, I tried it in my accurate old Winchester 190. It ran like a top through that rifle, but it should; the barrel is marked "Longs or Long Rifles."...
