Not sure if it was Rodney or not that said
My sister was so ugly the only way the dog would play with her was to tie a porkchop around her neck!

GunnyMack

Parker is six? I thought she was like two or three! :o You forget about the covid years Bill! I suppose I could have bred her during the covid horse pucky but here was lockdowns and we still have people wearing masks so I put off breeding and not being allowed to get people here to see,visit,play w...

Only thing I shot yesterday was a nail gun, and not for groups!
Jason, I put together a tote that holds my sandbags- it stays on my truck 365. Not that I shoot much during the winter but if I need sand for traction I always have it.

The loaded cartridge will fire as it's being shot down the barrel.

True so just size and seat a bullet then

GunnyMack

Sorry Griff, been very busy here, darn job gets in the way!! 20230717_171109.jpg At vet yesterday, second set of shots 20230714_165745.jpg Chow time 20230710_110346.jpg Is this not the cutest puppy ever!?

Nut, I recently read an article about the new python. The back strap has had material added, makes it stronger. Less likely to get tweaked like the orignal was claimed to do. I remember hearing about a cop( southpaw) that each time they got in the squad car the butt would rap the door jamb and over ...

GunnyMack

Sorry but you have to wait for Sage, about 3 years give or take.

Parker is 6 next month, after her losing 3 pups and her age I'm not going to chance complications.

GunnyMack

The little pack of hyenas went to the vet today, got 2nd deworm and second distemper shots. 4 puddles and 1 pile left on the floor!

I was lucky enough to have the hyena serenade all the way there.

GunnyMack

I saw somewhere that Phoenix is putting some kind of reflective coating on the roads.

I remember years ago I took a thermometer up on the roof, usually by 1pm it would show 140° or more. That's when we knew to get off the roof !!

GunnyMack

True Jim on the undersized, however if ya put some lead in them they shoot pretty well. And if you fill a 9mm with lead, Flux the 40 case and solder together ya get some deep penetrating solids. I loaded some rock salt for a friend that had a bear always tossing his trash can. I told him to make sur...

That might get ya in trouble Bill !!

GunnyMack

These are the empty 40 S&W brass right Jim? Don't think they are tumbling as much as trying to 'right ' itself( weight forward ) .
Try filling the case with clay, caulk, window glazing?

GunnyMack

This day and age who knows, best bet would be to call the airline and ask. Bet if you called repeatedly and spoke to different customer service representatives you would get different answers!

GunnyMack

I'm not, nor will I ever be politically correct so I'll keep calling them GREAT WHITES.

GunnyMack

I just got this mould from Bill a couple weeks ago. I tried 3 powders, Universal, Longshot, 296. The Universal and Longshot were mid level loads and showed promise. The 296 load 2 were almost 1 hole but I shanked the 3rd and the group opened way up! I only loaded 5 of each except for the Universal b...

GunnyMack

Hey, great minds think alike! I too cast some 41s this morning, I got a great Accurate 240 mould from Bill from Oregon and I'm pleased with it! I also have a 210 mould I got from another member here, Catshooter. Yesterday was the first trip out with the 240s and I was very pleased as the first group...

GunnyMack

Exactly what I was thinking Bill!
I know when I whalloped that 4" gong and it flipped up and over the frame they had some oomph!
Maybe next time I'll remember my Blackhawk to try them out of !

Just fired up the pot, gonna pour some more.

The left side pic, 2 screws tells me the screw slots were slightly high as you can see a burr raised on the lower screw. The wear showing on the locking bolt( locking block) might be from bits of the screw collecting and causing that wear seen or it is indeed the locking bolt itself. What I would do...

GunnyMack

I tried long shot behind those bullets out of this mould yesterday, from my Henry at 50 was a nice inch or so group, as was the group I shot with universal. The 296 group was 2 almost touching and I wiffed the trigger squeeze on the third! Need more trigger time!! And best of all they shot just a to...

GunnyMack

I wish it would SNOW!!! The first Shilen barrel I put on my 10/22 loved Eley standard velocity and Green Tag. After years of mediocre accuracy from my 77/22 I finally bit the bullet and got a match grade barrel. I need to do more ammo testing of other brands as well. I didn't really look at the grou...

GunnyMack

So I've read about rim thickness vs weighing 22 ammo for accuracy. Not having a rim thickness gauge ( and not buying one!) I decided to get the scale out. I took a box of CCI Standard velocity and weighed each and separated by weight to shoot same weights for groups. I also decided to do a box of El...

Could be the covid lock down had S&W and Ruger at lower production as they weren't 'essential workers' and or skeleton staff just didn't produce as much?
What are the numbers pre covid? Post?

GunnyMack

This brings back so many fun memories! One time hunting squirrels a buddy of mine shot one , long poke with a shotgun but it fell from the branch, ran to a stone row into a hole. We could see its tail and he reached in to grab it- the squirrel twisted itself around and sunk all 4 incisiors into my b...

GunnyMack

That is interesting Jim, never would have thought that.

GunnyMack

Yes John I was truly amazed the it penetrated as well as it did, especially since it was a hollow point!

Miss Cricket does have sprit! My Sage is good at beating up on her brothers too!

Not sure if video clip will work for you or not
This is Miss Cricket, she is giving me an ear full for going to work today. I keep explaining that I have to go to work so I can feed her.

GunnyMack

Yeah man , I got no use for those suits telling me what I can or can't do. They can all rot.

GunnyMack

Boy that's a cartridge everyone was talking about when it first came out. It's a potent round considering it's ' just a 223 case '.

Ya got yourself a good shooter and like you say it'll do fine on Bambi or ol Wiley Coyote.

GunnyMack

That cell of Linus has gotten lots of use over the years!

I didn't believe the science when they locked us down- I had a good idea it wasn't a natural virus but couldn't prove it, we would have all had it before! Common sense at work.
I didnt trust the little elf from the CDC . Never will...well

148 gr hollow base wad cutter in the 38. Remington had a 44 240gr semi jacket hp that probably work fairly well at special velocities but again you would have to load your own. Haven't seen those 44 bullets in a long time... I have about 75 of the 38 special wadcutters from back in my teens but wou...

GunnyMack

Do you have Amish in the area? They might want it for cutting boards or beams. Or Look around for someone with a portable sawmill that will come slab it on site. Or Just cut & split for the stove. Hurricane Sandy was hard on trees here, I had a giant red oak come down, from roos to first branch ...

GunnyMack

I though as much, it's a beaut!

So today I snaked the hose through the puppy fence into their pool. Of course they had to investigate the trickle of water! All were fascinated by it. Pawing, barking, licking and sticking their faces in it. I was laughing at the shear wonderment of them discovering the hose and completely forgot ab...

GunnyMack

Looks right at home!
Tell me, is that maple furniture? Absolutely gorgeous whatever it is!!

GunnyMack

I use Longshot in my 28, never noticed it being loud but 28" barrels.

GunnyMack

I've been wondering, just EXACTLY what kind of paste wax are you looking for?

GunnyMack

For once the Hodgen site didn't fight with me, I was able to get some data for 3 powders I have, Universal, LongShot and 296.
I loaded 5 each of LongShot and 296 and 13 of the Universal. All the empty brass I had on hand.
Going to try to go try them out later.

GunnyMack

D'oh !!! I figured I had a few more days to move my weather station but Noooooo ... I heard something and I turned in time to see Popeye jump and run. Sure enough he bit the cord! He must have gotten a bit of a :shock: as he vacated the area right quick!! It's transformed to lower voltage so hopeful...

Had a lull in the rain, they started doing the ' I gotta go out ' dance so out we went. As the boys hit the deck they did their thing but the girls went for the lawn. Then one of the boys realized he had to doo-doo and out in the rain he went !

Those were fun but my buddies Dad made a cannon for the bicentennial from a reproduction casting and we would load that up and shoot tennis balls , frozen cans of water. We would put it in the barn before 7/4, load it up, slide the doors open and touch it off! Slide the doors shut and wait for the p...

Well Bill the mix I have in the pot was a batch of bullets I ordered as .338, the guy sent .323. Out of your mould they are running 243+/- , not far off the expected 245 the mould is listed as. I'm happy! I poured 100 and decided to call it quits as some big thunder boomers are on the way- my luck t...

GunnyMack

This Accurate mould throws some beautiful bullets!

I figured a rainy day was a good time to test drive it and im very pleased!

20230709_122808.jpg

I haven't weighed any yet but I think you said about 250+/- ?

I stopped to see a friend of mine that works in the local fly shop , Pre Covid, and this guy stopped in to bs.
