That is a pretty low number , Forty. I joined in 1991 , and my number is 6621. A few years later I upgraded to Life , and was offered to pick a number in the 5000 range , but just kept my original. Rex

HELL , yeah , all 17 , plus the push button shifter on the Chrysler products. Rex , who was a kid in the 50's.

Remington Arms leaves New York
Rex M Rugers #6621 replied to PowderRiverCowboy's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
I have been aware of Remington closing down their Ilion plant for quite a while , but just this morning there was a big picture and story on my internet page. Whoever wrote it had a bunch of lever action Winchesters in the foreground of the picture , and the big headline about Remington closing the factory. See a lot of totally stupid stuff on this computer entertainment system. Every time, I think"Who the Hell writes this stuff. Is there no proofreading at all" Rex , with only a High School education. -
I think that is from "Oklahoma" , where the two are bidding on either a cake or a pie or a picnic basket. Rex , who saw the movie about 60 - 65 years ago.

Actually , they were 9 oz.

I was looking over my powder inventory a few days ago and found a partial pound of 5744. Had no Idea when I bought it or why. Now I am reminded , I used to have a Sharps 45-70 several years back. Had to be for that. I haven't seen Unique in a long while locally , so I bit my tongue and ordered some from Natchez last week. No more than I get to shoot these days it will last me many years. I hope , anyway. I'd rather run out of powder than years . Rex

Trail Boss is (was) sold in 9 oz bottles. Same size as the regular 1 lb bottles most everything else comes in. It also came in 5 lb. jugs. It is a very light-weight powder. looks like tiny flat cheerios. Rex

Good on you , Slim ! I hope H.K takes you up on it. I suspect he will be a fun pard to visit with. I seldom travel 100 miles from my place , he lives about 2400 miles from here. Rex

Well , come on over and we can haggle. Call me when you are about an hour away. Rex

I have had a couple of lbs of Trail Boss taking up space in my powder cabinet for several years. Wish I knew some sub-sonic shooters in my area. Rex

This post about cold reminds me that twice in my life (so far) I have been living in a town that had the low for the nation on a particular day. Oddly enough , both times the low temp was -40 F. The first time was in Havre , MT in 1973 , the second time it was here in Vernal , UT in 1978. That winter in Montana was also the only time I ever witnessed a Chinook. In about two hours time went from around 10 degrees to 70 degrees. What a mess. Rex

Somewhere there is a pair of stainless Ruger Vaquero 45s and a set of blue 357s with my alias on the grip backstraps. If the new owners didn't replace them. Or buff them off.

I didn't know they reassigned numbers. What would be the point? Not like there will ever be a shortage. Rex

That is true. Rex , who long ago shot that game a bit.

Sally , I used VV N320 some years ago , don't remember the load. It was a clean burning powder , a bit expensive. I think that I won a pound of it as a door-prize , or some similar situation , the reason I had it. I don't think you would be disappointed if you try it. Back when I was loading 38's I used mostly Clays. Good luck and good shooting , whatever you pick. Rex

I like Unique ,but around this neck of the woods it is harder to find than a 40 year-old virgin. Rex

I never had Covid or any symptoms the first big go-around , but just this past early November got it. What was scary to me was I had been in Texas a week or so before , (brother had died) and had been around all my family there , Kids , grandkids and great-grandkids. I would have had a hard time living with being the one to spread it to them , but none of them got it , so I probably picked up the bug in the Denver airport. Had long waits both directions. I got over it in about 5 days, Don't ever want it again. Rex

44 Magnum Cleaned Brass (Sold Out)
Rex M Rugers #6621 replied to Wild Hair Larry's topic in SASS Wire Classifieds
Oddly enough , I would prefer anything else than Starline. I have about 1500+ Starline 44 Specials for my match loads.All my match sixguns and rifle are 44 Special. No use inviting aggravation . Anything else you can make up 50 or 100 of ,Remington , Winchester , Hornady , Federal , will be fine. And thanks , Rex
