Black Powder needs to have bullets lubed with BP compatible lube and APP bullets can be lubed with smokeless lube. BP or APP should be fill the case BP with some compression and APP with no compression. Filler can be used with both if you want a reduced load.

LOL that's its tail

$400. Shipping is additional A complete Oehler 35P chronograph system in the original Doskocil case as shipped. The case containing the system has been opened only twice since Oehler packed it for shipping, the second time when I opened it for photography. Three sun shades were repositioned for better pictures, otherwise each item is as it was originally packed. A detailed description of this system can be found on Oehler’s website with their current pricing for it. Additional photos available to any who PM their email to me.

One thing I forgot to mention but really appreciate are all the sponsors and vendors that donated to the match and the raffle prizes. Without them many clubs couldn’t afford to put on a match. Our sincere thanks!

A few years ago we had to replace the washer we bought in 1970. The salesman admitted he didn't think the new one would last another 40 years. I told him it was okay - neither would we.

Wooden spoon? No. My mama kept one of those Bolo-bat paddles (you know, the ones that had a little red rubber ball on an elastic stapled to it) in the kitchen window & everybody who came into the yard knew she would apply as needed & everybody - kids, their parents - was ok with that. That's what I mean when I say I miss the America I grew up in.

Try again now. I didn't realize my message box had filled up but it was at 100%.

I'll take em"!

I often see questions as to why this or that rule exists. Today we found out why the costuming rule exists.

Thanks for all the info. Looks like general consensus is not to go any smokeless. Is there any benefit to APP or other subs over black powder? Besides less corrosion possibilities. Do subs need filler? Lube?

On May 13, 1943 the B-17F “Hell’s Angels” returned successfully from its 25th mission. A week later, on May 19, B-17F “Memphis Belle” completed its 25th mission. An important milestone was reached in May 1943, when two bomber crews of the US Army Air Forces (USAAF) became the first to be officially recognized as having survived their 25-mission tour. On May 13, the B-17F “Hell’s Angels” (s/n 41-24577), assigned to the 358th Bomb Squadron of the 303rd Bombardment Group based at RAF Molesworth, returned successfully from its 25th mission. A week later, on May 19, B-17F “Memphis Belle” (s/n 41-24485), assigned to the 324th Bomb Squadron, 91st Bombardment Group based at RAF Bassingbourn, completed its 25th mission. The event was important to the command because it “proved” to the crews it was possible to survive their tour and return home. The fatal statistics of bomber losses were clear to many: most crews were gone by their fifth mission; statistically, a man flying his sixth mission was “on someone else’s time.” The two bombers’ records of survival were important to VIII Bomber Command, and the command’s public relations office had made plans for a major celebration when the event occurred. The Eighth Air Force now had an embarrassment of riches, with two bombers and their crews achieving the goal; they also had a public relations nightmare. The plan to celebrate this event included returning the “first” bomber and its crew to the United States; that was, according to the records, “Hell’s Angels.” Crew and airplane would participate in a national recruiting drive and war bond tour. As such, the B-17 and its crew would represent the Army Air Forces – and specifically VIII Bomber Command – to an American public that was still recovering from the cultural shock of hearing Clark Gable exclaim, “Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn!” at the end of Gone With The Wind. There was a not-insignificant part of that public guaranteed to express moral outrage to their local newspaper editors and their representatives in Washington at the “sacrilege” of a bomber named “Hell’s Angels” touring the country as the representative of all the God-fearing “fine American boys” defending the country. The command looked for some way to change the order of seniority and send home the bomber with the “right” name. Both bombers and their crews had flown their first missions in November. “Memphis Belle” was “senior,” having flown her first mission to Brest on Nov. 7, while “Hell’s Angels” had bombed St Nazaire on Nov. 17. There was the problem that the crew of “Hell’s Angels” had flown all 25 missions in their airplane, while the “Memphis Belle” crew had only flown 21 of their missions in their airplane, with the other four having been flown in other aircraft while the “Belle” had been grounded for repairs. A different crew had actually flown the bomber’s 25th mission. Nevertheless, “Memphis Belle” got the nod and pilot Captain Robert Morgan and his crew departed Scotland for the United States on Jun. 8, 1943. After six months being wined and dined across America, Morgan would return to combat on Nov. 5, 1944, as pilot of the B-29 “Dauntless Dottie,” lead ship on the first mission to Tokyo since the Doolittle Raid. “Hell’s Angels” remained at Molesworth and the 303rd adopted its name for the group. The bomber flew 48 missions by January 1944, when it was flown back to the United States to tour war factories. While “Memphis Belle” escaped the scrappers the summer after the war and was eventually displayed at the National Museum of the Air Force at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, “Hell’s Angels” was sold for scrap in August 1945 and likely ended up a part of the aluminum-siding craze in American housing during the 1950s. Thus, “Memphis Belle” is carried in the records as the first bomber to complete 25 missions and return to the United States.

On July 21st, 1979 Jay Silverheels, became the first Indigenous Native to have a star commemorated on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Harold Jay Smith, was a full-blooded Mohawk, born May 26th,1912 on the Six Nations Indian Reservation in Ontario, Canada. He excelled in athletics, most notably in lacrosse. In 1931 he was among the first players chosen to play for the Toronto Tecumsehs, where he earned the nickname "Silverheels". And in 1997 he was inducted into the Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame as a veteran player. In 1938, he placed second in the middleweight class of the Golden Gloves tournament. This led to his working in motion pictures as an extra and stuntman in 1937. Billed variously as Harold Smith and Harry Smith, before taking the name Jay Silverheels. He appeared in low-budget features, mostly Westerns, and serials before landing his much loved and iconic role as Tonto on national tv from 1949 until 1957 along with two movies. In the early 1960s, he was a founding member of the Indian Actors Workshop, in Echo Park, Los Angeles. Where Native actors refine their skills. Today the workshop is still a well established institution. Silverheels died on March 5, 1980, from stroke, at age 67, in Calabasas, California. He was cremated at Chapel of the Pines Crematory, and his ashes were returned to the Six Nations Reserve in Ontario
