    Hello Widder,

     

    Taz has done quite a bit of stuff for me that is always great! Also he is the one that did the first Jedi plaque for me with the buckle inlaid in the plaque, he has the program in his system and has done a few now as they where a big hit the minute everyone saw it..

  2. Have handled and shot real Colts that have had nice action work done on them, they have that "thing" that only they seem to have.

     

    That said, I have and still do shoot a set of USFAs that came from Long Hunter back in the day and they have that "thing" also, they are to me as good as it gets!!

     

    However, Colt is Colt the name carries a lot of weight in the gun world especially in retained value and collect ability, however the USFAs seem to be hanging right with the newer Colts in this area also...

     

    Spades H. There I've been wanting to spend that 2 cents since Christmas!!!😎 Oh sorry for the babbling hope you fine a nice st of Colts...

  3. Mr. Magoats:

     

    Thank you for the quick reply and the wonderful loading information for future reference.

    If I did my math right, a 1LB bottle at 158 grain per round would yield 44 rounds. To load 500 rounds I would need 79,000 grains or 12 1 LB bottles of Bullseye = $312.00. For primers, only 500 would be needed = $18.00. Adding these two figures to the 500 casings and 500 bullets, the total would be $414.00 or $ .83/round.

    I am not familiar with reloading, so if I did the grains calculation wrong, please let me know, but this appears to be more expensive based on that calculation and your quote of $250.00 for 1,000 rounds which is $ .25/round.

    Your math is wrong! You are using the the weight of the bullet for your load weight, Google reload data for .38 spec. And you can get some better data..

     

    Spades H. Posting loading data is not permitted here but I think I can safely say yer looking at better than 2k plus rounds out of that much powder depending + or - the type of powder used!

  4. Yep! Our boxer slept between mama and me ( Cali king bed ) and the cats up by our heads on the pillows!! By the way we don't need an alarm clock neither, cats bite and pull your hair and the big dummy would crawl up till he could lick yer face when it was time for breakfast, would'nt have it any other way, miss them when where away from home!!

     

    Spades H. Lost our boxer last spring heart breaking, but the cats are still there...

  5.  

    Well now that it's started I will admit my wife has been after me for the last couple yrs now!!

     

    I don't know why but I have been dodging the issue for awhile now, I can hear pretty good if there are no other conversations going on within ear shot but any distraction and I have a tough time hearing.

     

    The TV is really making everyone MAD at me LOL.. Certain programs I can hear good others not so well.. The list goes on and on, so needless to say I will be watching this thread for comments.

     

    By the way have any of you found bad hearing at times being a great excuse!! Took me awhile to get it, at first I really did'nt hear some things so it was an honest mistake, BUT now on occasion I will pull it out for use when I did hear it!!!!
