  1. I had a book in mind but im undisciplined and not good at following through on things , and it was intimidating to be honest. It is totally true and totally epic in scope and adventure spanning several years but the whole process and putting together too dizzying for me. It could take a couple years or more to complete and have a worthy, well researched, well told account of these two Confederates and their exploits and adventures during the Civil War. Pm me the title.

  3. Browning B A R- say the letters
  4. Great chambering
  5. Did anyone complain about the food?
  6. This pic has floated around for years now. I hope she made something off of it. Likely not. Wonder how old she is now?
  7. His momma was quoted saying, "He's a good boy that fell in with the wrong crowd."
  8. I like your thinking
  9. I have never met or engaged with any person of notoriety or fame. But some SASS shooters come to mind though... Dirt Merchant and Lincoln Hawk (RIP) are on up there. Buffalo Brady was a charismatic individual.
  10. Am I the I the only one? Some of the simplest things give me calm, peace and enjoyment. For example, I enjoy watching bread turn brown in the toaster. Particularly english muffins. Don'y ask me why but I find it soothing.
  11. Is it just me, or did anyone else find it odd the judge thanking Tyler Robinson for "being here today" the way he did? As if he were a restaurant or theatre patron that could have taken his business elsewhere. I know a judge could be an ass, or amicable, or direct and matter of fact, but that appeared made for TV. Do judges normally address the accused like this?
  12. A thought I had come to mind today is if given the opportunity to speak to his assassin, Charlie would tell him Christ died for the assassin's sins just the same as his own . He was that sort of a person. I had one near death experience, more or less in the company of 3/5 of our kids. The most crushing, longest lasting part was the moment I realized I may never get to experience them again. I told someone once that in that instant I felt two things happen: for one, I felt like I was a beer can getting sucked dry. It was like my spirit was sucked out of my body. Then my heart immediately felt like that same beer can was immediately stomped flat. I hope Charlie didn't have to feel all of that. Luckily for all of us my daughter was there to save me.
  13. Im have two Glenfields. Both the same model (30). Each has the shorter five round tube, and honestly, this is a great improvement in balance, weight and point-ability. One is in its original stock, has skinner peep sight set, and is in its original 30-30 chambering. I love a load of IMR 3031 under a 170 grain Sierra RN. It hits hard, goes through and through and kills effectively. The 150 grain Sierra FP works very well too. The other Glenfield has an XS peep sight set , a Boyds walnut stock set and I had it bored out and rechambered to 375 Winchester. I did this project to scratch an itch a few years back with black bear in mind. It really does little more than a 35 Remington, except maybe offer the heavier 250 grain bullet option and a marginal amount of more thump and energy. Some bullets and powders were inconsistent to find at that time I went down this rabbit hole. I settled on Fury and Hawk bullets when Barnes and Sierra proved difficult to acquire. Hornady discontinued their 220 grain interlock specifically designed for this chambering years ago. That, the Sierra 200 and Barnes 250 seem to be the ones folks most prefer and many rave over the Volker bullets designed for this chambering with its lumbering velocity in mind but he never has any when I look. But Hawk and Fury have proven just fine, though I have yet to test on game. I had several good powders already: A1680, Imr3031, H4895 and H4198. Reloder 7 has always been highly regarded for this caliber but hard to get for a while there, and A1680 is accurate enough and simply outperforms Reloder 7 by a good margin in the velocity department. 200 grain with a max velocity over 2500+ fps, and the 220 grain clocking at over 2300+ fps per Accurates published data. Ive not chronied my loads yet. A Fury 220 grain flat point over a load of A1680 is just about the right balance of power and speed I settled on to hunt bear with though a 200 grain Fury (or Sierra) is awesome enough to knock the hell out of any game I regularly cross. My 170 grain loads in 30-30 already does that sort of knocking. I expect the 200 or 220 grain load in my 375 to do it in spades. I loaded 250 grain Hawks (again, the Barnes originals in 375 diameter never seem available) over a load of H4198. It would be a slobber knocker and I think I would love to dump a couple into a moose at close range if given an opportunity again. Load manuals indicate 1800-1900 fps with H4198..
  14. Understandable
