Widder, SASS #59054

One of my favorites. I try to watch Perry Mason episodes every day at 9 am and 11:30 pm on a couple different cable channels. I'm always telling my wife how beautiful Ms. Hale looked. She was a classic. RIP 'Della' and God bless. ..........Widder

Church Key, I don't have any of the Dillon equipment but I have already been loading up some 'test' ammo for my new SIG P220 in 10mm. I hope to chronograph AND do some accuracy testing when the weather gets a little better. Right now, I have 12 loads to test in the 165 grain and 180 grain bullets. My test powders are: Longshot CFE AA #7 AA #9 Power Pistol On some bullets (but not all) I'm testing the low end AND the high end load data to give me a better indication of what my SIG and the 10mm is capable. Brass is new Starline and primers are Federal LP Mag. I also plan to mic the lower portion of my brass before and after test firing to help give me certain indications of pressure problems. I might forget to PM you with this info but if you want to holler back at me in a couple months, I hope to have some good load data of my own. ..........Widder

glad to be a part of the Wire help. ..........Widder

If you want to run the 1.40+ in the stock Marlin, you can have your timing 'advanced' by having a good TIG welder add some height to your carrier ramp, especially the lower half of the ramp and then let the weld kinda 'bleed' into the upper section of the ramp. Last summer, I set up a .38/.357 Cowboy to run anything from 1.38 up to 1.56, if I remember correctly. I do remember that it ran .38 longs, .38 specials and .357 mag ammo. ..........Widder

All the above should get you in the 'ball park'. If you know how to tweak your timing, you can set it pretty safe to run just about any reasonable length..... or I should say, ALL reasonable lengths. But basically, 1.50 +/- should serve your well. ..........Widder

Dirty Dan, it was strange that you posted this video a couple days ago and then, out of the blue, he has passed. Sad circumstances. RIP ..........Widder

Thanks Cat. Yes, my mechanic has already indicated as such and I gave the 'o.k.' I might be getting meowndangself a new truck. Ain't decided yet. ..........Widder

Wouldn't she be considered 'out of uniform' because she has something in her left hand? ..........Widder

BLKWTR, they stick it to ya with the truck. THEN, they stick it to ya with bad ball joints. And to top it all off, they put temporary rubber on the road and try to make you feel like you got a good deal. If ole Mr. Goodyear knew what they were doing with his rubber, he would roll over in his grave..... Next thing ya know, we'll have to put a new light in the front grill or a new battery in the radio..... p.s. - at least my truck has lasted longer than the groundhogs and most crows in this area..... ..........Widder

261,500 miles later, my 2001 little Toyota Tacoma busted a balljoint this morning. Obviously a bad investment on my part back in 01..... I'll probably have to put some gas in it next..... ..........Widder

I'm waiting. I think it might pass. Suppressors might have to be purchased like a firearm with a background check requirement, but no special tax or waiting period required. This of course, is just an assumption on my wishful thinking. ..........Widder

No. WR and EOT are just a DISTANT dream for me. ..........Widder

SO, if you have a malfunction, you legally can't hand over your malfunction firearm. That's interesting. ..........Widder

Howdy KEY. Missed you at the NC State last summer. I plan to be there again this year, which I think is in November. Hope your Marlins are running well. Warden: You must be talking about my Warthog, firesnortin .32 Marlin..... My opinion, but the .45 in a lever rifle like the Marlin or Rossi can become a very formidable round for deer, hog or bear, when loaded properly. As I've stated before, a good handload in a short barrel rifle can give the same ballistics as a .454 Casull in a 6" barrel pistol. Hope all is well with you. ..........Widder

Looks like he's guilty of 'fudging'..... ..........Widder

i dumped a few. Try again. ..........Widder

Its common knowledge that we can get our 66's, 73's and 92 rifles with little efforts. And we can get our Rugers, Cimmaron and Taylor SIX Shooters with little efforts. When it comes to SG's, some are a little harder to acquire, AND so are some Marlins. But I thought I would share a little known secret that might help some of you Pards who are looking for a Marlin 1894. Boomstick Jay. That Texas outlaw/renegade feller is hiding all of them at his bunkhouse. This is unsolicited info but if I were looking for a specific 1894 Marlin (32-20; 25-20, .32 H&R, .38, 44, 45) I would pick up my phone and call him at his hideout down in TX. Matter of fact, I think I might try to weasel a .45 Colt Cowboy out of his hands. ..........Widder

Chantry, Tom always said that its not unusual to be loved by anyone...... ..........Widder

If you do the math, it looks like there was a 28 years span between the 1st child and the last. My Grandma had 12 kids that span about 30 years of birth. My dads oldest sister had a son that was older than my dad. In other words, my dad was an uncle to an older nephew. ..........Widder

"If you're heading thru a long dark tunnel and the light at the end is approaching faster than the speed you are traveling..... Its time to switch tracks". ..........Widder

AJ, sent you a PM. ..........Widder

FLAT. ..........Widder

My comment isn't intended to be pro/con Beretta, 1911, etc..... But I will comment on Seldom Seen's post about the cost of switching calibers, gun sizes, etc.... on the P320. As mentioned before, I like BOTH of mine. And SS is correct in the fact that the cost factor of a new gun vs. buying barrel/grip from SIG was the exact reason I bought a whole new pistol. Paying out $350-400 was just too close to the price of a NEW gun and I choose to buy a new P320 in .357 SIG to go with my 9mm. ..........Widder

Bayonetted would be more like being a pin cushion. Lanced would appear to be more like being 'skewered'..... This of course, is just my opinion. ..........Widder
