Stump Water

Forget the trigger. Can you explain how pulling the hammer back and holding it is different than pulling the hammer back and not holding it? IOW... with your booger hook nowhere near the trigger, pull the hammer back and hold it. What happens when you take your thumb off the hammer? Does the cylinder un-over-rotate? If the answer is "yes" then your pistols need some work.

A pair in 45C w/5.5 bbl. A pair in 45C w/4 7/8 bbl w/BH grips. A pair in 357 w/5.5 bbl A pair in 357 w/5.5 bbl w/Ruger's version of Bisley grip frame. All have free spin, springs, etc. The Bisleys have everything Wes Flowers could do to them.

Yeah. That's not the same.

I have a reloading log. In it I log what I load... bullet, powder, OAL, the usual stuff. For handguns, unless there is a problem, there are no notes. For long guns I note accuracy. Once I have arrived at a load that works in a long gun that's pretty much it - that's what I load for it forevermore. For example: The Rem. 700 Classic in .243 Win likes an 87 gr. Hornady BTHP with [can't remember right now] grains of H4831 with an OAL of [can't remember right now]. That's what I load for it. Period. It works. SW Va. groundhogs agree.

The front shoulders & head of boars are a lot bigger than sows. If you see them in a bunch there will be no doubt which is a "mature boar". ETA: Think of it like this... in a herd of polled Herefords or Blank Angus cattle you can tell which one is the bull.

And the Romans long before that.

The Terminator movie. Does it happen over and over or only once?

Nice looking irons.

I'll try to make it to the CAGS this weekend. (Cowboy Action Gun Shoot)

Same in NC. There's been a resurgence of "drug free" farming the past 10-15 years. One outfit up the road raises Water Buffalo.

That bit about closing the dampers to "hold a fire overnight" is a stretch. Been around my share of old wood cook stoves and the thing they all had in common was you had to feed them constantly because the firebox was so small. You couldn't get one to "hold a fire" for 3-4 hours much less overnight. Modern wood cook stoves are a completely different animal.

Exactly. Until you got 'er goin' good you top load.

A former co-worker's husband is a Deere field service tech. They're in South Dakota. He said with the GPS plotting they use about 2/3 the fertilizer & seed that they used to because there's no overlap. Goes a long way towards paying for that six-figure piece of equipment. Of course in SD they farm on a whole 'nother scale than NC. And he sure was "away at school" a lot. Seemed like about as much as he was in the field.

Right.

I've been w/o food or water for three days (pancreatitis). ^ is the truth. Except the "slice of bread part". A crouton to start is good.

I don't know what a "loop sling is" and I've never seen anyone use a sling like that. At one minute into this video is how you use a sling to steady a rifle. Prone, sitting, kneeling or offhand.

Nice find. I have my dad's Single Six w/both cylinders (and the cute red bag w/gold draw string). But it's circa 1980's and stainless. The only handgun he ever bought/owned.

My brother has been happy with Fastmail

Only had the occasion on time. My uncle had a Hereford bull that had a tendency to walk through fences. He had the idea that ringing him and attaching a length of log chain to the ring would dissuade him. Didn't work.

Need a head gate. Of course, if his disposition warrants that you ring him, then getting him down the chute and into the gate is gonna be fun.

I use boat-tail bullets almost exclusively for the cartridges I reload with a bottle-neck case. These are the go-to for .243 Win. These are also a favorite.
