I can’t help with load data but can suggest you think about a tang peep site for longer range work with a carbine. I’ve used the Lyman #2, a Marbles sight, and an MVA vernier. The last is probably overkill for a carbine. With a Lyman #2 on my Marlin 94 in 44 mag, I can shoot 5” groups at 200 yards all day long, and it flies a bigger rainbow than your 30-30.

Yup. And those of us reading and commenting on this thread aren’t much better.

I’m with you, Linn. Born in Chicago. Became citizen of Peru in 2015.

He was a good man who wanted to spread Love in the world. May he rest in peace. It will be interesting to see the next steps and who they elect.

I saw one years ago. Late 70s or early 80s. They used AH-1s. Not sure if they were supported by or affiliated with the US Army. My main reaction was sort of blah. Helicopters were not meant for precision formation flying. Leave that to the Blue Angels and Thunderbirds.

All the Way!

That, plus Sig’s quality, and I’d say you have your answer.

The good ol’ days of being a Soot Lord. I am still convinced that the Sacred Incense is one of the most versatile, best performing, and all around funnest powders to work with. All others since then have been crude attempts at replication designed to placate those disinclined to faithfully clean their irons after every match.

My son and I tried a box of these during a round of clays. He described the sound as being more like a potato gun than a shotgun. The recoil was comparable to my 20 gauge semi- auto. I appreciate everyone’s thoughts and ideas. I’ll let you know how the exercise turns out.

I am becoming more recoil sensitive and would like to know for sure the velocity of various shotgun ammo out of my SxS. Buuuut, I don’t want to destroy the chronograph along the way, either by impact or having the muzzle blast knock it over. (I already wiped out one with an errant 223 round.) Has anyone ever chronied a shotgun before? All suggestions are much appreciated.

I always find it interesting that when someone wants to gussy up a job title, they become a “(Something) Engineer”. Sanitation Engineer Petroleum Injection Engineer You get the picture. Why don’t they ever become “(Something) Lawyers”?

Shooting Times was my go to magazine since I was a kid. Skeeter Skelton. Bill Jordan. Elmer Keith. George Nonte and Peter Capstick on occasion. Rick Jamison wrote some great pieces on advanced reloading techniques. Mike Venturino and Sheriff Wilson we’re about the last writers I cared to read. Most current rags, including Shooting Times, are glorified advertising for the latest gee whiz thingamabob. ‘Nuff said. Time to move on.

But then the camera couldn’t see it rolling along the river’s bottom. And a full keg will sink. Anyone ever heard the expression “The keg has floated.” It means the keg is empty, or at least past the point of buoyancy. Engineers have the best tailgates!

Made the coffee shoot out my nose with at that one, Pat!

Context is everything. To this day I get sentimental about canned peaches. I gave up trying to explain unless the listener had been in an equally shitty place and just opened a C-rat pack with those magic peaches. Whip out that P-38, open the can, and relish the nectar of peaches and syrup quenching an exceedingly deep need for normalcy. I’m choking up just thinking about them.
