Blackwater 53393

I have used the Cheddite 12ga hulls. I bought a bag of 100 3 1/2” primed shells for a big Mossberg 935 that I had. I traded the gun for a semi-auto detachable magazine gun that uses 3” shells before I got around to building ‘em up, so I trimmed them down and used them for the new gun. They worked well and they loaded very nicely. My plastic 10ga are cut down, (my old guns use the 2 7/8” shells) Federal brown ribbed shells that I bought years ago from a custom ammo builder. Some of them have been reloaded four or five times. I roll crimped them and when they get ragged, I trim them off and load ‘em with fiber wads. I get a lot of use out of ‘em! These are trimmed to make 2 5/8” shells. They shoot fine in my old Remington double and they worked well in the 1901 Winchester that I recently sold. I bought 125 of them to start with and I still have 80 or so, a dozen years later. Don’t be afraid to shorten ‘em up and use ‘em again!! The ones in Black Powder still really thump! 😜

I checked my 10ga plastic wads just now. I’ve had these for several years, so the label on the bag is probably out of date. It’s marked “BP100” from Ballistic Products. Looks exactly like the BP1044 pictured in the current catalog. I use these in 10ga plastic shells that are 2 7/8” long with smokeless powder and they work well. I have been loading the plastic shells by hand. I have a used MEC 600jr in 10ga purchased that I will have the middle of next month and I plan to purchase another 100 primed 10ga shells and a couple of additional accessories for the press, so my combination may change. I don’t load a lot of smokeless 10ga nor have I done a lot of plastic shells. I do mostly brass Black Powder with the CH4D dies on a Rock Chucker, but with the arrival of this new, (to me) press, I plan to make a fresh batch of smokeless plastic shells.

When you take a shot at the king, DON’T MISS!

NOBODY said they’re great! They ARE a tradition! You gotta do the whole recipe to get that MARTINSVILLE effect. Roast ‘em up and pile on the chopped onions, the Jesse Jones chili, and the coleslaw and yellow mustard!! 🤪 Otherwise, you are better off with a nice Nathan’s or Hebrew National!! 😎

Reckon I can’t gripe too much today. It’s been a fairly productive day, so far. I got my little Deitemeyer 300 press put back together and working great! My primer catcher still needs to be fine tuned, but that little press makes some beautiful reloads, AAs or STSs, it doesn’t make any difference! I ran a quick 25 rounds to see how it worked and I am happy! While I was fiddling with the press, I deprimed the rest of my STS hulls. I was experimenting with my primer catcher. I hand loaded a box of fifty .45 Colt rounds for my Blackhawk or the Rossi 92. I’m using cut down .454 Casull cases and a 250gr Hodgdon XTP. These are really hot loads, made from a recipe that Widder worked up and tested. They’re hand primed, I loaded powder for every one on the scale, and used the last two stages on my big Dillon to seat and crimp them. Took a little while, but I know what’s in every round, down to the hundredth of a grain. I did a bunch of tidying up on the reloading bench. I remounted my RCBS Uniflow so that I can operate it with the micrometer adjustment tool. It had been mounted in a position that I really didn’t like because it made the measuring process clumsy for me and it wouldn’t let the drum rotate the full cycle if I was metering a large powder charge. I got it like I want it now and I got the old bolt holes in the table patched, (I hate it when something drops into a hole or crack in my work surface!!) and sanded smooth. I was gonna GRUMP because there wasn’t any snack stuff, but while I was doing what I was doing, Schoolmarm went out and grabbed snacks and stuff to make tacos for supper!! I HATE IT WHEN I DON’T HAVE STUFF TO GRUMP ABOUT!!* *makes me feel like I don’t have a purpose!! 😜🤣 😡

They sell 65,000 to 70,000 of those dogs at the event. NASCAR has done well where it was born and raised. You can see the difference when you look at attendance in places like Martinsville or Charlotte and compare it to Las Vegas or El Dora, (which NASCAR closed and is having trouble getting reopened). As to the newest version of the Cup car, if they’d quit messing around with tires and horsepower restrictions and get back to the season points as opposed to this playoff crap, you’d see some racing and a bunch of fans who left returning!!

Out to the main road and quickly across the border!

Slip around the corner…

Would I lie to ya’??

"За здоровье!"

Stepping back into a doorway…

Sure!! That’s when the drunks become invincible and decide to try stupid s..t!! 😜🙄

Here’s your Martinsville Speedway hotdog!! They switched brands several years ago and caused a riot!! Changed back the next year! Jesse Jones Hot Dogs 12 oz Jesse Jones famous red southern hot dogs come ten (10) to a 12 oz pack.

Today’s journalism at its finest!! Designed to enrage the low information readers while skirting any liability issues! “It’s not our fault that the reader who went out and attacked those officers only read the headline!! After all!! We printed the whole story…”

DANG, Rip! That’s a heck of an idea!! Take the aforementioned dog recipe and instead of frying the dog and toasting the tortilla, assemble it all , batter it, and THEN deep fry it!!

I deep fry the Nathan’s Colossal all beef dog. Chopped onions and tomato, shredded Velveeta, kosher dill slices, bacon, (two strips the texture of good jerky) chopped jalapeno, and horseradish mustard. Wrap it in a toasted flour tortilla. Prep all your stuff and toast the tortilla while the dog is frying and assemble it hot!! I often substitute the sport peppers from the Chicago dog for the jalapeno.

Hit us last night! Yesterday morning you could walk across the yard without getting your boots damp. Today it’s back to rowboats or pontoons!!

THANK THE GOOD LORD!!! 🙄

What other matches in the southeast are in your itinerary??

Please! NO APPLAUSE!! just throw money…😜

If their Goobernor doesn’t think enough of this legislation to sign it, the Quisling bastard should VETO it!!

That could have SHOCKING consequences!!🤣

Unobtrusively

He should wear an NRA necktie!! I’d have made a point to have it all read into their congressional record and replied by hanging a sprig of mistletoe from my coat tail!!
